Tire stack..... Start growing in a tire or right on the ground. As soon as it's taller than the next available tire take that tire place it on the stack and bury the plant until there's just a couple of leaves above ground. Everything you buried be gentle will root out and become space for more spuds. When it grows up taller than another tire rinse and repeat until you have a stack of tires when you're ready to harvest just start knocking the tires over one by one. Works well to line them with plastic as well if you can

I'm not sure I want something that's going into my mouth growing inside old tires.

Yeah dude it's fine, you also mix used motor oil into the soil and it acts as a good pesticide.

Do you prefer your potatoes leaded or unleaded?

Well since I'm too cheap to fix my knocking issues, better go with leaded

Ive done a similar thing with squares made out of 2x4's.
