Or conversely, others have found that some varieties do not mind crowding, and crowding more seed potatoes in the tower increases yield to maximize the area. You would end up with more small tubers rather than fewer large tubers.
Both methods are variety specific.

Hi Nathan,
This topic saved my life. I was about to put early potatoes in my grow bags now they are going in smaller containers.
I have 30 gallon grow bags waiting for my late season potatoes to arrive.
I was planning to plant the best type potato for the tower set up and wondering if someone would recommend one to me.
Thank You
