We have seed potatos at work and were wondering if anybody ever grew there own? If so what kind makes the best kind of ammo? I have some extra space in the garden so I was thinking it could be fun.
ive thought about it, but never did it.

I like doing things the hard way, and this way I can tell my customers how to grow them. Plus I will have first experience with them. I just don't think I will say what I use them for.bigbob12345 wrote:

I've grown potatos before and they are a pain in the petunia. You'll want to plant them in mounds or mounded up rows. And unless you grow just a small amount of them, you'll want a motorized implement that can turn soil. Otherwise, you'll be hoeing them out of the ground from a 8" to 12" depth....gets old real fast.

Strawberrys are a great thing to have after they have grown on for about 3 years. But be carefull, they'll spread out into the yard.
im planning on taking video of myself planting spuds with my spudgun, shooting them into the garden dirt. this just seems the right way to plant and grow ammo. when they ripen i will shoot a few and fry a few. btw some of your corn cobs might make sweet ammo!

Hahah planting them with a spudgun is not a bad idea at all!Spuddin wrote:im planning on taking video of myself planting spuds with my spudgun, shooting them into the garden dirt. this just seems the right way to plant and grow ammo. when they ripen i will shoot a few and fry a few. btw some of your corn cobs might make sweet ammo!
I like it. When will the vid come?
I am with starman on this one. I have worked many summers planting, growing, and picking potatoes in my neighbors huge garden, and all i can tell you is that it is hell. Unless you dont mind doing that crap though...
