Several years ago a friend of mine planted taters in tires. He used straw in the tires and when he dumped the tires over it was full of mice and no taters....lol I saw video the other day where they used an old plastic trash can with holes in the bottom and store bought compose. They put 6" of compose in, planted 4-5 seed taters and covered it up with 4" of compose. They keep adding compose as the plants grew up. Sounds good if you have a old trash can.

I will say any time Ive tried growing vegetable in plastic buckets they take a lot of water. h.h.
