Growing Potatoes in Bin Bags ??

Hello,
I have heard you can grow potatoes in bin bags, is this true? if so, how many seeds can you put in one bag? I understand you fill it 1/3 with soil and plant your seeds then as the leaves grow up, keep filling the bag with soil? Did I dream it? Thanks in advance

Hi Kate
I don't think you are dreaming. Don't see why you couldn't...you can grow them in any container like a bin. I suppose the only difference is bags are less stable to stand up.
You can start off with soil and then top up with more as they grow or if you want you can top up with straw. The leaves keep pushing up to get to the light, as they grow the potatoes stay clean!
