Tom, my grandson and I tried growing them in basket and then built a space with leaves and straw and as the potatoes grew we kept adding soil and straw. In the article it said to only water a couple of times a week. I really think my problem may be not enough water. The ones in the large mound always felt damp when I tested it but the baskets probably dried out too much. I will let you know how the large mound did.
