Between him, This Old Tony, Electroboom, Big Clive, and Cody's Lab, I've learned to fuck up in the most spectacularly well-thought-out ways

No worries! I added some notes on support and irrigation I forgot to mention

We had an insanely wet spring, then have been dry for about three weeks before the storms that kicked through yesterday.

Damn, man. Two weeks of summer and it's already a drought on you guys? You're a masochist

Thank you! Here's hoping!

Yup! As was said, they're just cattle fence made into round cages. The bottoms I lined with some landscaping fabric for a growing medium (75/25 compost/soil) and planted the potatoes about half way down. From there I just mound up in straw.

Edit: I forgot a few details. They're held up on either side by t-posts. Nothing fancy, just driven in and wired to each post three times (top, center, bottom) for stability and support. I put sprinklers on the top because that's what I had, though I do want to do something different in the future. I don't like top watering, but I haven't quite figured out how I wanna do it otherwise. I'm thinking a strand or two of drip that gets mounded up with the potato as it grows, but that's experimenting for another time

There's some folks that will actually do a core of medium up the center for new potato roots to take hold in. I'm trying something that's a little more fertilizer-intense, but easier to scale up. Little blood meal every couple weeks while they're growing up then some 10-10-10 twice (once at the beginning and once again here in a bit).

If I can make this work in my home garden, I'm hoping to tweak it a bit for larger scale. We'll see

I incorporated in Funkytown so disputes would go to their chancery court. The judge is an anthropomorphic hundred dollar bill wearing sunglasses. It was a no-brainer

It's actually just a German superette. Bit of a red herring

It was a thread on a joke I made, so I didn't wanna seem like I was trying to make folks watch me jerk off by including it

Everything is for the good of the enterprise, even if you have to bomb your own camp

Of course they're folk punk

 

Got it plumbed, taped, tested, mulched, and ready for plants and only checks bare wrist three weeks left til Frost Date.

Hugel got the same treatment, but I was a bit shy on the mulch. I usually use crushed leaves from my backyard for this, but I didn't have near enough to do everything I'm laying down. This Fall I'm definitely gonna drive through the neighborhood snatching the leaf bags folks put out.

Suckers. Just giving away free brown

I'm grateful for my patient and loving wife. But I just finished lunch, so lets go play in the pile for a while!

Show me your playgrounds! How's everyone's season so far?!
