A while ago I saw an episode of Jamie At Home where his gardener (Brian) planted potatoes directly into a bag of potting mix. It inspired me to try this out.
I basically put some potting mix in a bag, stuck some potatoes in there, watered them and waited a few weeks.

They’re outgrowing their current home though and I’ll be donating them to my sister’s new vegetable patch soon.

The post was inspired by the work of Paula Hayes.
I thought it looked like fun so made a few. One of my favourites is in a Spring Valley bottle. Check out the pics:
