potatoes.

I am thinking of cutting the sprouting bits off my old potatoes & planting them in tub-trugs.

Would I need to make drainage holes?

Re: potatoes.

You'd need to plant the whole potato although I think you could probably cut a potato in half and hope it sprouts on both halves. I have a few second early seed potatoes on my kitchen windowsill starting to sprout - too early to plant them yet.

Yes - you would need to make drainage holes otherwise the trugs would become waterlogged and any potatoes growing would rot.

Good luck

Re: potatoes.

We always did - more accurately, my father did. We had thing like spoke wheels behind the tractor to potato seeds in a track.
This was on the farm. For a garden just a tapered hole would suffice.
