Simple folks! The container can be slammed together in about an hour or less. Digging at the end of the season takes about half an hour. Photo can be taken with those simple phone cameras. Then you can babble all you like one way of the other. Until then your argument is simply babble or empty rhetoric if you like. So far I am the only person presenting facts, real life if you like.
Actually Durgan what you presented as proof is anecdotal evidence at best. One variety, one box, one season, one plant, one person, one experience, one failure to achieve the objective of producing tubers all along the stem of a potato plant (if the effort was indeed objective). From your photos one might suspect that the variety of potato you used is incapable of such growth, that you are incapable of cultivating it or that it might require a bit more research and experimental design to determine. However, in the abscence of additional evidence your photos and your experiences do not justify coming to a conclusion that the objective can not be attained.
