To tell you the truth, most of my taters are from the compost with no problems! I actually planted some from the organic grocery store this year. First time I have actually "planted" taters!
I have strawberries planted in a SB planter, but they don't look well! (I'm allergic, so I don't really care! LOL)

I was looking at these today -- prices look good.

Their potato prices are good too.

if you have strawberry plants, they will multiple on their own if you are concerned with cost. observe where their runners take root, let them get stronger, and then transplant into your new bed.

With taters, compost all your potato peelings where you want taters to grown, and you will get some!

If you don't mind spending a bit of money, by all means buy some. But if the cost is a real concern, you can use the above.

Cheapest seed potatoes are store bought potatoes.

You can make a nice 3 ring strawberry bed out of the rolls of heavy duty aluminum flashing - the stuff they use on roofs and around chimneys. See pic below. Some also use the black flexible lawn edging.

Here are some pics of other beds that are easy to build.

I've never had any luck with potatoes.

My friend swears that they would grow taters from the store bought stuff. I know the ones in the store have supposedly been sprayed with something to inhibit growth, so they might not work, but I suspect an organic tater from the grocery just might.

Haven't you ever bought a bag of potatoes at the store and had some of them begin to sprout in the potato bin?

Many gardeners have been growing potatoes using store-bought spuds, cut into quarters, for years. Right now I have both Red Pontiac and Russets chitting in the basement. Sprouts all over them and will be ready for planting in the next 10 days or so.

Now if you want some of the unusual varieties you'll need to order seed potatoes unless you have a farm store nearby.
