Potatoes are easy to grow and can be grown almost anywhere. The only important aspect with potato growing is earthing up because the potatoes develop above the seed. If you grow potatoes in open soil then you need to build up a mound of earth around the plant as it grows. When growing potatoes in tyres or containers the earthing-up process is helped by the containment. At harvest time just kick over the tyres and separate them to reveal the crop. If you are concerned about contamination from the materials used to construct tyres, then you can just use the tyres as a holder, for a plastic sack/bag, in which the potatoes grow. These potatoes were seen growing at a hotel vegetable garden in JHB.
