Our version of the online Potato boxes!
We doubled the size for a couple of reasons:
One because we were running late getting the potatoes in the ground and two, because we had a lot on our plate. Being that said if you use our method., we suggest you put a brace bar in the middle for later as this will hold a lot of dirt! We will do this as well before we start adding dirt. Our boxes measure 3 ft. x 4 ft. these are the boards end to end and the ones we saw online are 2x2 end to end.
1. One end put together before we start the box. Make two of these the size you want your box. Most online boxes I saw were 2x2, we doubled ours and it is 3x4. Make enough cut of boards for two more sides.
2. We put up two ends already made and made the frame on the bottom.
3. The two ends with frame on bottom.
4. Getting all boards on.
5. Now start removing all boards between top board and bottom board.
6. Getting all boards off. Then store them until needed.
7. This is our finished product. We used a rototiller on the ground where box will sit and put our potatoes in! Good luck, hope you follow us with your own potato box. We will update progress and see how well the boxes do!
