Growing and harvesting homegrown potatoes has never been easier with this wooden potato planter with a door. Because potatoes grow out of their stem, these plants can be grown almost anywhere the stem is not exposed. This means you can plant and grow potatoes even in a wooden box, garbage can, plastic bin or burlap sack. But of course, if you intend to grow potatoes in containers, you might as well make sure that they look fantastic. More importantly, you should opt for a planter that allows you to harvest your spuds with less effort and without all the mess.
This DIY wooden potato planter certainly fits the bill. Its wooden structural design will surely complement your garden, adding a touch of natural flair to your home. But its best feature is the little door on the side where you can easily access and harvest your freshly grown spuds. No more digging through the dirt or pulling the plant up just to remove the potatoes. Once they’re fully grown, simply open the door on the side and pick them out from the soil.
