Hey all, so I am newly back to gardening and we are thinking of planting potatoes, sweet potatoes and ginger root in some food grade 55 gallon drums we have. We have to plant in raised gardens because our 'soil' here is solid rock. I am planning on cutting the 55 gallon drums in half and planting in those. My question is ... should I just use plain garden soil? or cant I use hay or straw for potatoes?
Any advice for this rainy area is greatly appreciated
