    They’ll answer, but I believe it just some Tposts with some wire mesh as the structure. At the bottom is some landscape fabric as a pot/bag and they use straw as the filling medium.

      I am sorry if this going to sound stupid, please bare with me: So the soil is in the bottom black part and the actual potatoes are growing in the straw? Or are the potatoes growing in the soil and going through the straw? TIA from a person without any potato growing experience.

        I don’t know if it’s soil or straw in the bottom as well, but it sounds like mounding the potatoes with straw instead of dirt works pretty well. Some potatoes you need to add dirt (or straw in this case) every couple weeks). I haven’t done potatoes myself, just what I’ve seen growmies doing.
