1. Place ( 50-100mm) 2-4 inches of drainage in the bottom of the bucket, such as gravel or stones.
2. Fill the bucket with about (120mm) 6 inches of well-draining compost. Place the seed potatoes around 6 (120mm) inches apart on the soil.
3. Cover with another (120mm) 6 inches of soil.Water the plants, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged.
4. Place in a sunny spot to grow – ideally with six hours of sunlight a day.
As plants grow, regularly top up with soil until within a few inches / centimetres of the bucket’s top.
5. Harvest potatoes when the foliage starts to yellow and die back
