A friend allowed me to borrow several of her commercial "Potato Bins" to try last year (2010) and I had a good growing experience with them, too. I will say the fabric is much thicker and durable than my homemade Tater Totes, so their expense may be warranted if you plan to use them for many years.

Fabric bag-type grow pots are definitely the way to go with not only potatoes but other plants as well, especially if you do not have good soil, containers to grow in, or essentially want/need a portable garden!
