Growing area for potatoes

**Dukerdawg** · January 21, 2010

This question is for anyone, but I was hoping Tom Wagner would jump in. I want to start growing potatoes using Tom's TPS (will send money soon) and am finally deciding to get raised beds this year for the garden. I am doing 2 raised beds of 4x12 11" high for carrots, onions, greens, cauliflower, cabbage etc. and of course about 12" or more under the beds.

But I was going to order either a 3x3 or 4x4 area for just potatoes. What size would you recommend and what depth would be best? I was thinking 22". There are only 2 of us here so I don't need 100's of lbs of potatoes, but I wanted to try garden grown since I never have in the past and heard good things about fresh garden 'taters.
