When/where in the process would you plant the beans? I have some seeds for pole beans, as long as I provide poles would that work? Looking forward to trying this!

I have actually grown potatoes in a container with nothing but layers of news paper. just keep the paper lightly moist and you will have plenty of tators.

Looks like I need to try the Yellow Finn, Indian Pit, Red Pontiac, or the fingerling seed potatoes to try in 2013

This was a great article, I really like how densely you can plant potatoes. I have seen similar potato box designs in a lot of places and many of them seem to be pretty successful without very much input. One of the cheapest and easiest methods I have seen involves just growing potatoes in a large bag http://www.plantdex.com/index.php/plant-pulp-monthly/280-grow-potatoes-the-easy-way-in-a-bag

store them in a paper bag in a cool, dry and dark area, like a shed. Don’t pack stuff tightly around them as they will be more likely to sweat and mold. Or you could put them in a tray on a layer of dry sand/sawdust then completely cover them. Again, store the tray in a shed or similar.
