Anyone grow potatoes?
I bought a few potato planter bags and I'm planning on starting them when I get home next week. I bought 3 bags and I'm going to plant them 4-6 weeks apart to spread out the harvest. Although we don't have frost where I live, so perhaps I can grow them year round?
The bags state that they fit 36 quarts (I think) of soil mixture. Any tips on what to use that is relatively inexpensive but effective? Especially since that will end up being a lot of mix to fill all 3 bags.

Re: Anyone grow potatoes?
I use Mel's mix, a combo of compost, vermiculite, and peat moss, and my potatoes are doing awesome. If you don't want to do that, I would do a good garden soil mixed with compost. Compost is cheap, even if you don't make your own.
I also probably wouldn't worry about planting them a few weeks apart. You can harvest as they are still growing and potatoes can stay in the ground for a while after the plant dies. And even if you did get a bunch right at the end, they are a storage crop and can be kept for several months in a cool place.
