I have a few potatoes that are sprouting. I'm wondering if I could set them to grow potatoes in my basement now.

I have a south facing window, and I'd have the bags sitting in something for drainage. I'll be setting it up soon, and see what happens. It may or may not work, but nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I was going to set it up this morning, but they changed the forecast. And, I didn't think I'd have enough time to get that done, plus what I needed to get done at the farm B4 the rain hit, so I decided to wait. It's supposed to stop raining and get windy, so hopefully stuff will dry out enough for me to handle it by Thursday. I have an old, plastic hamper. I'm going to set the bag in that. That should keep it standing upright, and will catch any water that drains. And, since I'll have the bag inside, it should mean that I don't get stuff all over my basement.

I would think these bags would work great. I have no experience personally, but have read of similar things being used. Some links to check out:

I also am thinking of trying some of these this year. Our soil is so poor we have to use raised beds and these sound like an easy way to "create" some!
