The Boy Who Crikey'd Wolf #2 - Indoor DIY 'Taters Mine Bitcoin?

By TheGreatMangini | thegreatmangini | 8 Mar 2025


Crikey, mate! Steve Irwin Jr. here, and today we're wrestling with a different kind of beast: the humble spud! Forget saltwater crocs, we're talking indoor potato bags, perfect for your closet, under the stairs, or even next to your prized collection of "Crocodile Dundee" VHS tapes!


First off, you'll need a sturdy bag – think burlap, or those heavy-duty garden sacks. Fill it with a mix of compost and good ol' potting soil, nice and loose, like a wombat's burrow. Now, grab some seed potatoes, the ones with those "eyes" peeking out. That's where the magic happens! Plant 'em about four inches deep, spacing 'em out like a pack of dingoes at a waterhole.


The trick, see, is to "hill" 'em up. As the potato plants grow, keep adding more soil, leaving just the top leaves exposed. It's like building a little potato tower! Think of it as a vertical garden, but instead of flowers, you're growing glorious, starchy treasures. Keep the soil moist, but not soggy, like a baby croc's habitat. And of course, light! Potatoes love it, so a grow light or a bright window is essential. Otherwise, they'll be as pale as a ghost gum.

Now, you might be wondering, "Steve Jr., how many potatoes would it take to power my Bitcoin mining rig?" Well, mate, that's a question for the ages! Let's just say it'd be a mountain of spuds, enough to make a whole herd of cassowaries blush! You'd need a potato farm the size of the outback. But hey, at least you'd have a lot of chips! Happy growing, and remember, respect the spud!
