The results weren't huge, but that's part of gardening. Every season teaches us something, and I wanted to share the honest outcome—what worked, what didn't, and whether I'd try this method again.

If you've been thinking about growing potatoes in containers, especially in the Deep South, I hope this experiment helps you decide if it's worth trying.

If you've grown potatoes in milk crates, I'd love to hear about your experience in the comments!
