our trouble with potatoes has been our heavy clay soil plus the dry - they're so hard to dig out of the ground, but stackable systems dry out fast here. i tried them in an old rubbermaid trash can one year, the method where you put about 2' of soil, and when the leaves get big, you bury all but the top layer in more soil, and so on to the top. even in that container they dried out too easily. but we've gotten a lot better at automated watering systems since then - that was years ago and i think i was relying on myself to hand water. i should probably try that again.
