Mine was filled about a quarter with soil/compost Nate. I would give hay a try for sure. You might some god ideas from the comments in this gardendesk post http://www.gardendesk.com/2008/10/garbage-can-potato-harvested.html

That’s a neat idea. I actually have a half barrel that I’m wondering what to do with. Did you fill it all with sugar cane mulch?

I don’t have access to sugar cane mulch around here but I do have a couple of bales of hay. Think that would work?

Lovely. I wish we could picnic by our creek but alas it is just too snakey.
I say go for the taties. At worst you should get a nice little bunch of fingerlings.

picnics are a beautiful thing aren’t they? We’ll be doing more of that down by the creek now the weather is getting warmer.

I’d like to have a go at growing my own taties in a barrell. An inspiring tip for a woman with a balcony rather than a garden. Would really like to hear how you go with them…

Not much beats a home grown spud does it Em? I’m always blown way by the taste. I just need to get a decent yield! I’ll keep you updated.

Hello Dani! Sounds like a good day Love to hear how your potatoes go; I’m trialing a few methods this season to see if we can produce some respectable yields. We pulled some volunteer baby potatoes up recently, and my goodness they were delicious.
