Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching. And hessian is better than plastic grow bags....and it can go in the compost.

Yay!!! It’s time to plant the potato salad ~ yum!

That is exactly what that crop was used for...... Another video coming up with even more detail on the process....using Midnight Pearl Potatoes..... Purple inside and outside.

I don't have hessian bags but o have potting mix bags that I could use to grow potaoes in. Great video.

Coffee bags are good because they rot out at the bottom and this makes harvesting really easy.
Often Coffee Roasters will give you the hessian bags for free...Worth asking at your local coffee roasters.
However - Use what you can use. We have also grown these in 1/2 44gallon drum. Just make sure you have holes in the potting mix bags for drainage.
