How well will this work in Florida. It tends to be extremely damp during the summer. Well, always. And HOT.

In reply to Carolyn Noyer. I was surprised that this was not mentioned. Talk about a bonus! My neighbor and I plant our tomatoes in hay bales and after we have thrown out the dead vines in the Autumn; the hay bales have become the most beautiful black soil. We then toss the new soil into the garden for next year's crop of peppers, onions, squash, etc.

So I assume you get well over a 1000 lbs of potatoes from this? After all you planted 50 lbs of potatoes.

Seems like mice would be a problem. Not very clean after all.

Wouldn’t golfball-sized potatoes be rather small? The last photo shows them much larger.
