What if I made the square bigger? Would I get bigger tators?

what about the old stack tires for potatoes.  as they pop out of the dirt you are supposed place another tire on top and fill it with dirt.  have no idea if it works I just heard it a long time ago.

am going to try this again this year but use new tatters and place pails on wood pallets so they can drain, they were on the ground last year and I think they got plugged. I was in the hospital so much last summer they did not really get looked after like they should have

My dad tried this a few times. It worked, but didn't get near what he was expecting.
