    If you start the sprouted potatoes at the bottom of the bucket with only a small amount of soil...then as the green tops grow up, you put some more soil in. So only a a bit of the greens showing.. keep doing that as the greens grow higher and higher.. then yes harvest when greens dry off.. you will get 3 times MORE potatoes 😁👍👍👍much love from Christchurch NewZealand 🌸

      Make sure you use the right potato for that method. Potatoes are determinate and indeterminate like their cousin the Tomato. Indeterminate you "hill" determinate you don't.

    • @MrSmirkster
      @MrSmirkster Před 8 měsíci +36

      That is only true if you are growing an indeterminate variety of potatoes. If you are growing a determinate variety then you would be wasting your time as determinate varieties only grow one layer of taters. You really need to know whether your potato is determinate or indeterminate variety. Very much like tomatoes. Indeterminates will grow all season long while determinates are ready to harvest all around the same time.

    • @RobertNZ
      @RobertNZ Před 8 měsíci +25

      For those not in NZ - we have pretty much no determinate varieties here in New Zealand (Ref.TuiGarden). We do, however, have a huge kiwi culture of growing mountains of potatoes in our back yards as if our lives depend on it. :D If a Mainlander (Sth Islander) says they're growing a "lot" of potatoes, don't bother asking them to weigh their yeild .... it's a lot.

    After harvesting, don't wash the potatoes. It shortens the shelf life of the potatoes. Store them a cool, dark place and wash them as you use them.

    When I was a UN Peacekeeper in East Timor in my spare time I taught our local employee how to grow potatoes in old car tyres, You start the same way as shown here but as the potato starts to grow taller you put another tyre on and put in more dirt. We got to about 4 tyres high then let them grow. It produced a good supply. I taught our employee and told him to teach his neighbours in his village. I also taught him to make liquid fertiliser by soaking a bucket of cow and pig droppings in water for a week and then using the liquid. And I taught how to make compost. The country is one of the poorest in the world and people can't afford fertiliser so I hoped to impart some basic knowledge to help them feed their families.

    There is nothing like having home grown potatoes. Last year I was able to grow some potatoes in a cardboard box. By the time I was ready to harvest them the box was almost fallen apart but it was still strong enough to hold the dirt and potatoes inside.

      Depends what type of potato.
      This species grows on one level, by the looks of it, so planting by the same method you and I use will still result in just one layer of potatoes.
      Like you, I put in two inches of soil, put the potatoes in and cover them with two inches of soil. I let the shoots grow four inches tall and cover them in four inches of soil and a carry on doing that, each time the shoots grow a further four inches, until the soil is an inch below the rim of the container.
      These potatoes look like early variety new potatoes, which I normally harvest late May, early June.

      I don't know much but can answer a few
      Adding coal, don't know but it might be for nutrition purposes
      Phosphate as a fertilizer
      There should be 6-8 inches distance between each potato you sow. So it would be 1-2 max potatoes in one bucket
      Cutting sprouts, so max nutrition is given to the potatoes, it will save energy of plant and will give more nutrition to the potatoes, and eventually result in bigger potatoes
      So about watering the potatoes. Potatoes love water to check do this trick, check the soil 2 inches deep, if it feel moist so don't need to give water and if it's dry give it water and then double check it to make sure that soil is fully moist
      Rice and banana, don't know maybe for nutritional purposes🤔😂

      Make sure to prune flowering part it will help growing potatoes more
      Try growing in soil bed instead of growing bags or bucket, it will give more bigger sized potatoes

    The more eyes/shoots you leave on the potatoes the more potatoes are produced, however, they're always small.
    This I do with my first (Earlies) crop and I harvest them late May to early June. These I use in salads.
    My second, harvested in late July to early August and third harvest, Sept - Jan, (Mains) I take off all but two eyes, which produces much larger potatoes.
    Think of the seed potato as a battery and the shoots as appliances. The more appliances the quicker the battery becomes drained.

      If you buy potatoes at the store make sure they're organically grown. The commercial growers spray their potatoes with sprout inhibitors so they won't sprout before someone buys them, and buying potatoes that won't sprout kind of renders them useless for people who want them to sprout!

    My friend's grand mother used to do this with olf tires, Lay out a tire, fill with soil, plant your starter potatoes. Once the spouts get to a foot tall, add another tire and fill with more soil. By the end of the season she would have 5 or 6 tires stacked and filled with tators! Then just pull a tire off as needed. the rest you just pull out, leave them dirty, and put in a cool place with no light. Growing in a basement with a southern window does work as well. I did that myself in Wisconsin and it was wonderful to have fresh tators all winter.

      ​@@Johngarden you can plant potatoes in winter in greenhouse (or deep enough so that the potatoes do not freeze) to have an earlier harvest in early summer. but for harvest in winter or spring you would need a greenhouse warm enough so that the soil is not frozen (well above 0°C) and enough sun or grow light. this all depends on where you live on earth or if energy is very cheap. most countries import or use stored vegetables during winter. - Everyone who is growing his own food has my respect.

      Only if they are an indeterminate variety - determinate varieties yield all at the same time - whereas indeterminate continue to produce (as with tomatoes) - hence the need for 'hilling' up and beyond
      Also, in cold zones you will need a heated greenhouse/solarium to 'grow all year around'
      I wish people would include what zones/regions they are growing plants in so others don't waste their time thinking they can do exactly the same thing at the same time of year or all year round to find out it didn't work and they wasted so much time effort & money.

    If you really want great potatoes, you need to use cow manure. As a boy of about 8, we were renting a house just outside Dunedin, NZ. The house belonged to a Town Milk Supply farmer and adjacent to our house was the paddock he put his cows out onto after milking and feeding with malt husks from Wilson's Maltexo Company. At school I was to do an agricultural project and chose to grow potatoes. I asked the farmer if I could use part of the paddock he put the cows out on and he agreed it would be no problem. With the minimum of digging [I was young] I planted several rows of potatoes. When it came time to harvest, my father couldn't believe the crop we got and the size of the tubers! They were monstrous - literally the size of rugby balls. One tuber was more than enough for our family meal. Dad was telling and showing everyone these mutant potatoes! I took one to school, with a note from dad, and got a Certificate of Achievement for Potato growing - I'm 73 now and still have the bloody certificate! The secret ingredient was cow dung, lots of it. The nitrogen in it really sparks the potatoes. I should have left the "garden" for a year or so after clearing the cows out so allow the soil to break down and not be so "rich" because the soil actually burnt the skins of the tubers and left a series of small blisters on the skin. They were so tasty. No chemicals at all.
