I never eat potatoes !

This was really terrifically helpful for me: thank you!

Hi Tony, What size are the potato buckets? Thanks.

And what are you going to do with all these potatoes?

any measurements available for creating these? would love to know the dimensions to have a go

0:19 lots of compost coming out of the bottom though Tony ?

I read were you put a 1x6 board in the garden an ck under it.

Great review. I use Spider Farmer

Too laud back music. I can't barely hear you!!! :(

Could you please explain more about “one leaf above” above what? Bunch of grapes? Thank you

Have you thought about putting the IBCs underground?

Which gallon?

a lot of work but that stuff is like gold another great video really like your channel love how you explain it all keep up the great work

Great looking garden 🇳🇿❤️

Amazing set up, but on Bristol allotments we're not allowed hose pipes, and we're not allowed any irrigation systems!

Would love a deeper dive on the drip subsystem and the pump spec

Im very interested to know how you keep the tanks clean inside, mine are a bit gungy, am thinking of painting them as the vovers i bought fell apart.

1:47 water doesn't work but it can be a temp solution. 2.16 soap soln doesn't work either with dish soap 6:00 neem oil doesn't work either, i tried also mixing it with soal solution but that too did not work. 7:03 You are spraying it on the top side of the leaves. the intelligence of these mites and other crawler is they take shelter on the underside of the leaves and slowly eat into the plan and leaves destroying them completely.

Grew these in South Carolina, now got them started in Maine. Wish me luck shoots are comming out!

I'm a first time potato gardener and this video is very helpful

Elephant in the room Where are the veg?

I love your accent ❤

I planted these last year and harvested all of them at the end of the year. This spring, I have more than I had last year, and I planted none.

Can you mulch with grass clippings to help add more nitrogen to the soil as they break down?

How do you keep the mosquitos out of the IBCs that are open?

Can grow potatoes in bales of straw.nothing in ground

Hi, why does it pop up with Failed when the nappies are mentioned?

That is an amazing system you designed and built, Tony! Great explanation and example for gardeners who want an effective watering setup with rainwater.

I have my doubts with plastic water storage, can't help but think it spreads microplastics all over your garden.

Great video. Hi Tony I was wondering if you have ever looked at, or tried the Ruth Stout method of growing potatoes. In videos that show her method, and an actual film of her planting in her own garden. She basically places potatoes on the bare ground then just covers them with straw and that’s it. She was a fascinating woman (RIP) and worth checking out how she did her methods growing crops in her yard. In her own words she never visited a green grocers in her life after discovering this way of growing. All the best mate. 🍻

Excellent tips.

That's amazing but sow bugs always eat my potato plants. How do you deal with sow bugs?

easy and helpful

it worked

tq tq#

That’s amazing! I only have 1x240l atm and I use it in 2 days. Defo need more ❤

You want to cover all those tanks, you get cisterns that are much better at preserving (drinking) water quality of rainwater since no photosynthesis occurs inside

So happy to see this!!! We harvested Stinging Nettle every spring in Alaska. It cured me of a horrible Cottonwood allergy.

Without even watching yet I just have to Thumbs Up for your efforts.

That's incredible Tony! I would never be able to do anything that elaborate but was thinking of getting a rain barrel. The problem is we don't get nearly the rains you get over there and other than my small shed there are no structures with large roofs I can use to collect rainwater. I do often put out trash cans and buckets in the garden to catch the rain water during rainy periods so that's better than nothing I guess. Happy gardening!

Amazing Well done, Tony

Hi Tony. Note the Bosch pump is 18v not 12v. Disappointingly, Bosch have chosen to use a completely different 18v battery & charger to the ones on all their "blue" professional tools.

The neatest tidiest most organised garden Ive seen

Totally excellent system Tony. I'm just about to set up my tiny automatic watering system for my 4 tomato plants ! I've got 2 x 66 gallon butts next to the greenhouse and a simple timer working a 12v pump keeps my plants happy for my 2 weeks summer holiday :) I'm on the coast in Porthcawl so not so far from you mate :)

Oh no! Poor chickies 😢 Have to clean out my 1 tank that I use primarily for the chickens, I do get algae, need to paint it soon.

Thanks for this knowledge. 1st year for me- foliage coming up now- will skip wateting system this year but will get it in place next year. Golden!

Thank you, Tony!

you can still harvest them even if you grow them for bees.

Would love to have an IBC, but I couldn't get it into the back garden as there is no access.

What an incredible system! My only possible source for water collection is the roof of my house, I have heard some people say the shingles we use may contaminate the water, I wonder what you think of that?
