I took the potato barrel apart today hoping to find a bucket worth of potatoes, but sadly only found a few. The idea is that as the potato plant grows, you pile more and more dirt around it, and the plant will grow more potatoes from the base. I think what happen instead was, that the plant spent so much energy climbing higher and higher that the plant didn't have enough energy to make more potatoes. Had the season been longer it might have worked. Oh well, my wife is happy that it didn't work. That way she doesn't have to look at piles of tires around the yard.
