I know of a person that uses gallon pots(free from neighbors and recycle places) and uses soil from his garden. He puts them in his garage to sprout and puts...
I also highly recommend Miracle Grow - it's a sterile mixture that doesn't bring the "baggage" that outside soil may bring with it. Janet Knoxville ...
Hi Sadie, I use Pro-Mix, which IÂ buy in bales from my local greenhouse. I believe it is available at some home centers and some ServiceStar hardware stores...

I sure wish I could have been there. I won't be back on the west side of the mountains till nearly May, and all the gooder tubers will be gone by then. I sure...
