Potato Tower: how to make it for maximum production

It can be difficult to grow potatoes in a small space, but you can increase your production in a small space by using a potato tower. For urban gardeners or those with little plots, potato towers—especially those made of straw—are a great alternative. Here’s a detailed guide on building one, along with several advantages.

What a Potato Tower Can Offer

1. Room Efficiency: Potato towers are ideal for tiny gardens or balconies because they take up very little room on the ground.
2. Harvesting potatoes from a tower is a more straightforward process compared to digging them up from the ground.
3. Decreased Pest and Disease Risk: Raising the growth medium shields the crop from diseases and pests that are carried by the soil.
4. greater Drainage and Aeration: A tower’s design promotes greater air and water flow, which is essential for the healthy growth of potatoes.
