Creating a $1 food garden

Prep your peels

Potatoes peels have tiny nubs on them called eyes, it's from these eyes that new plants vegetative emerge. The plumule usually appears first if there are no soil available and will continue to grow and form a stem and the first leaves. Add some soil and the radical appears fast and grows into a healthy adventitious root system.

A tip to a great potatoe harvest at the end of the season is to keep the stem covered at all times with well rotted manure.
