In reply to mrsmrnorris. I would keep the onions and potatoes separate. The potato plants will sprout upwards and disturb the onions which will reduce your yield.

This is my first year of trying to seriously garden. The best sun is in my front yard so I like the bag idea. Can I put onions in with the potatoes or should they be in separate bags?

WOODCHIPS!! I just plopped the seeds down in the soil and covered over with Natural woodchips and voila! Very little labor, no need for soaker hoses. The chips are an insulator plus keep the potatoes with a consistant moisture. At harvest time, I just put the biggest best tator back in the ground. Nothing to it.
