Did you know you could simply buy a bag of soil or potting soil, poke some holes in it and grow potatoes and tomatoes?

You don't even have to buy it. They just leave that stuff all around completely unlocked.
It seems so blatantly obvious but this is a great idea! Thanks :)
Just be careful that you give the bag lots of holes for drainage. Potatoes will rot if they remain water logged. I prefer to grow mine in "potato grow bags" (found on Amazon) as they drain well and can hold a large volume of dirt.
