Once the "green shoots" emerge you keep filling up around the potato plant stems as they grow, gradually filling up the barrel with compost. Apparently potatoes will form throughout the barrel along all the buried stems. Seems like a good way to make efficient use of space. Also allows you to bring the barrels in the greenhouse come fall to keep the new potatoes coming year round. If you are careful you can dig and eat potatoes without killing the plant. We, as they say, shall see.
