Determinate potatoes can't be grown in a potato tower that fills in over their stems all the time. Determinate potatoes can grow in side-growing potato towers, where the tower is built and filled full before the plants sprout; the potato plants grow from the sides. The latter type is what you see in this image. vertical farming like this is a great way to grow more in a smaller are.
