Your #permaculture garden can be any size-- you don't need a whole farmstead for it! That's why it's a popular method for smaller spaces, especially urban ones. Balconies, patios, rooftops, yards of all sizes, a plot of land a community can use.

The process is a little bit more involved, but it is that simple. And you don't need potatoes from the nursery to do it! You can read about the details here: www.almanac.com/plant/potatoes #Potatoes #Gardening
