Never bothered with them. Just got some big plastic drums from my work, cut one end, punched the other & cleaned them throughly or used big pots I already had kicking about.

Worked really well:




In fact, I even became a champion "big veg" grower because of them:



That is a 980 gram (2lb 3.5oz) "salad" spud!

Well done. We grew potatoes in a dustbin and a couple of buckets last year. Might try using compost bag liners this year.

Do your council do garden waste sacks? Say yours have blown away and ask for a couple more

I use black compost bags that I roll down to start with, as the shoots grow I top up with earth, and roll up and keep well waterd.

Good luck

Im going to use a bin I think and bash some drainage holes in the bottom. Might spraypaint it an interesting colour to brighten it up....

I used old compost bags or black rubble sacks, it's easier to earth them up than a bin (roll up the bag) easier to dig them out, and I don't have to store the bins out of season.
