A GARDENER has shared her easy method for growing potatoes.
She said it's so convenient she may utilize the method forever.
Carissa (@creativegreenliving) shared the gardening hack with over 50,000 TikTok followers.
"So I am kind of obsessed with this potato growing method that we're using this year," she said.
"As long as the harvest is good, I think that this is what we're gonna use forever," she admitted.
She started with a laundry basket lined with brown paper to prevent soil from falling out.
Next, she threw in some compost as the first layer in the basket.
"Get your potatoes that you have pre-sprouted, stick those in there, plant two different halves of your potatoes, get your sprouts kind of nestled in," she said.
She topped off the basket with some more compost for a nice base and placed it in a sunny spot.
The gardener watered the pot and once the potatoes sprouted, she topped off the basket with straw.

Carissa noted that if sprouts started poking out through the basket, to tuck them in to prevent the potatoes from growing in the wrong direction.
People took to the comments to share their thoughts.
"I did this with laundry baskets from the dollar tree.. lined them with paper bags.. did so well that I doubled my baskets this year!" said one commenter.
"I’ve done this with a cardboard box and mulch. I like the straw option. I’ll have to try it," said another.
