Grow 100 Pounds of Potatoes In a Barrel?

[PonderThis]

I'm going back to Klamath County this fall...I want to get some of those giant spuds. With me and hubby, I'd only have to peel ONE potato!

Except for the fact that taters are just about the cheapest food you can buy. IF you actually got 100 pounds what's that worth? 15 bucks? minus what you spent on the barrel, potting soil and water and your time?

Looks like a novelty to me.

yup... But my wife grows some.. Says she just likes to.

A clear memory of my childhood in WV was going down to the garden and digging for potatoes with my mom. I still vaguely remember the smell of the earth, even.
