Can you really grow potatoes in milk crates in Louisiana? I decided to find out.
Earlier this season I planted potatoes in milk crates to see if this popular gardening method would work in our hot, humid Zone 9a climate. Today it's finally time to harvest them!

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!
🌱 Thanks for watching The Graceful Acre Homestead, where we're learning to grow food, build homestead skills, and embrace a slower, more intentional life.
