Hello HGV, I first realised the fridge could be used to control the potato "cycle", in lockdown, as I was buying shopping to last longer than normal I was storing the spuds in the fridge and as soon as they went into the cupboard they started to sprout, but a lot quicker than normal. I imagine there's a limit to how long you can keep them in the fridge without damaging the potatoes viability, but Ive stored them for over three weeks and we're ok.
@@louiseharper7850 That's interesting. Worth a shot.
I've found that putting potatoes in the fridge for a couple of weeks, get them out and store them at room temperature and they will sprout, I think the fridge temperature makes the chemicals or hormones or whatever a potato has go into winter mode so once back in warmer temperatures their chemicals or hormones think it's spring 😉
Grand this t'auld lad.
I'm a Yorkshire man transplanted to 8600' in Colorado, still gardening but with significant challenges.
Cheers again, with your tips this will be my year.
Thanks for stopping by Shaun. HGV
How awesome! I just ran out back with a flashlight and filled up some buckets with my homemade compost and put potatoes in to chit them. Google has nothing on you friend, I love learning from your experiments, thank you!
Thank you for taking the time and effort to help educate all of us from around the world. :)
I wish i lived next door to you HGV!
LOVE your videos, learned so much!
Miss Molly.....beautiful girl she was ❤
You are a natural agricultural scientist. Love this channel.
That was awesome. Just watching your process made me feel good. God bless you and your dog!
Wow!! What an amazing chitting methods! Makes great sense! Thanks so much! Molly gave me a chuckle when she barked! Lol
Love your videos. Thank you ever so much for all the sharng. Highly appreciate all of them.
That's Molly telling you to hurry up and plant 🌱 them lol 😂 just love ❤️ that little girl, aw ra best fae Scotland, Carol
Thank you so much! This is exactly what I was wondering about. I appreciate the time you took to compare.
Thank you for posting your experiment. I'm going to do that too instead of waiting for the potato to chit on the egg tray.
Mollys saying "dad let me out, or im gonna chit myself.
I've just started a allotment so need all the help I can get, these videos are ideal for me being a first time gardener.? the instructions are very clear and precise and I like it when things don't work out as that's probably what will happen to me, thank you. D
thank you for the benefit of your experience and wisdom. Great science!
Great video. Thanks for sharing it. I learned a lot. What I learned from this video is that if you just plant your potatoes they will grow chits which are just roots and they will sprout and spread and produce more potatoes so there is only one reason I see to chit your potatoes - if you don't have enough potatoes and plan to cut them and plant the pieces.
Or if for some reason you're stuck with conventional grocer potatoes and you're making sure that the potatoes you plant are each viable
Just what I was looking for...Many Thanks Man!
That's Molly saying "come on dad, get 'em grown so I can eat them!" Great video. My chits are also from shop bought for eating and they were in the dark and forgotten about. When I remembered them they are ready to plant now, can't wait. Love your vids, so much info and easy to understand. Plus get to see Molly!

Thx Sir again I've learned a lot and am about to perform my own potato grow.
I'm glad to c u have so much passion and valid interesting info on ure channel.
Will definitely keep tuned!
Thx again to u and Molly, and grow on🥔👍
Hello GNCat. We have just started harvesting this years potatoes growing in pots. Some nice outturns so far. Good luck with all you grow. HGV
You've helped me a lot as a beginner thank you.
And that was a great chitting video thanks😬
Thanks for your experimental videos.
Thank you! Molly is definitely excited about he chitting potatoes!
Wow! That's great! Thanks! I guess I can plant my fall potatoes in hills without waiting for the to sprout first.
I was wandering about this myself, thank you
Fantastic video, I'm going to try this when my seed spuds arrive as this seems a great idea. I'll do a video as you have done with my results when I do it.
MY WIFE AND I JUST LOVE YOUR VIDEOS AND OF COURSE MOLLY Ilive IN A LITTLE VILLAGE CALLED DRUMBO IN N IRELAND JUST RETIRED FROM BUISNESS ALL MY LIFE AND HAVE ABOUT AN ACRE WITH 10 raised beds and I built a 25x15 polytunnel from blue pipe didn’t realize it was such a job on my own and had a collie like molly for fifteen years and had to get him put to sleep last year lost my best friend anyway your such a gentleman we have learnt so much from you and thank you again keep up the good work
Hello Kenneth. I often wish I had more room to work in and then I think of the work involved and settle down. There are some excellent gardeners on CZcams. Looks like your retirement is a change of career direction. Sorry to hear about the lose of your dog. Hope you your wife have many happy years of gardening ahead of you. HGV
Thank you for that! Awesome tip! I did the same experiment and the ones in compost are already sprouting leaves! I'm going to go out and just put the rest in dirt NOW! Thanks again!
A fantastic video for us new beginners 👍
Fascinating experiment!
The process you used work very well great job sir 👍.
Just tried this over the last 10 days and it worked!
How many times a week did you water if you used the bag method and where did you place them to have such success? Thanks in advance 🙂
Nearly in the chit with that compost 👍
Very good experiment!
Great video!! I was so attentive and about had a heart attack when the dog started to bark. 😂
Thank you for the video!!! I will start to chit my potatoes this way from now on!
It shows me to just put them in the ground.
Thank you so much for the education!
Fantastic and very interesting experiment you have there. Certainly gives you food for thought. Great vid - keep it up. All the best.
Hello Sammo The Pot Gardener. Glad you liked the video. I had some good results in 10" pots last year and hope to build on it. I threw 10 leeks into a 10" pot as a 'last resort' as my raised beds were full, sat it on the Patio, and what a great result. I guess you could call that an experiment. Here's a link. czcams.com/video/npLNks_jbQs/video.html
This is a very useful and impression video, thanks Bro
Love the tunes x
I have to check this video anytime I buy a bag of potatoes so I can figure out how *not* to have them sprout in my cupboard. Thanks for the tips! :-)
If you don't want them to sprout, you want cool temperatures and dry conditions. :)
Thanks for the experiment. My potatoes will go from dry storage to compost tomorrow.
Exactly the information I needed. 😊
Thanks, I love it!
Thank you. Very helpful.
I buy organic potatoes from the grocer and they always grow... Now you got me growing in egg cartons That is a great idea Jim thank you.... Nice air flow...
Not long now Rose till it starts allover again. Jim.
That experiment was helpful , thanks 👍
That was amazing. Great tip.
Hello Madison Glad you liked the video. I have another video on my channel
czcams.com/video/sm34gQACeAU/video.html
I am trying an experiment to slow down the chitting process. A sort of hibernation.
Last year I ordered some seed potatoes planted them the same day and they grew I had loads of spuds. I never knew you were meant to keep them for a while before planting opps I must have just got lucky. My dad used to plant potato skins with the chits on them and they used to grow, I remember him going through my mums potato peelings. Ive not tried that but I remember it worked
Fabulous!!! Thank You......
Great experiment , I will try this thanks for sharing
Very good!
Good to know going to do it. THANK YOU
Great info thanks
This man is a comic genius -- chit on my friend... chit on.
good idea!
hiya HGV. just started gardening and not got much space myself but I started with one raised bed and was so successful I'm gonna turn all my lawn space for raise beds and least the space from the lawn area is doing some good growing healthy food and being just grass that I can't eat so I'm soon upgrading to six raised beds and lots of pots found it a very enjoyable hobbies and rewarding learning so much from you tube so thank you for all your videos from Wendy
Hello Wendy. Good luck with the raised beds. HGV
WTG Wendy 🎉
Great video
Awesome Sir.........Respect
Thank you for that video, it is food for thought! I think I'll just leave my shop bought potatoes on the egg box and wait. We cant get out to buy the seed potatoes with the stay at home rules
Good idea ,
Excellent experiment. Will handle seed potatoes differently this spring.
Hello Jacquelyn. There are a number of ways you can do this. Trying different ways is good and interesting. HGV
Holy chit. Good video
thank you for answering an important question
Thank you! 👍
I trained my Red, White, and Yukon Gold Potatoes to "chit" in wine glasses on my bar. They seemed happy with the companionship... as well as me being able to monitor their progress. I am about to harvest them. But it was humorous and entertaining to make potatoes "chit" in wine glasses.
Whatever works Robyn. HGV
Love the music,,,,,,,,,,,, One Love
great video.
This is interesting because I find that starting the potatoes in the greenhouse to avoid frost brings them on really fast, almost too fast because I end up with a greenhouse full of spuds in the middle of May when I need space for the greenhouse plants and there's still a risk of frost. I agree with your opinion on supermarket spuds because I've grown any I find in the veg drawer and they do fine. I think they are sprayed with inhibitors to keep them looking good on the supermarket shelf but, as soon as you take them away from the lights and into the veg drawer, they start pushing out sprouts.
Best Wishes, Brendan.

If you're looking to plant potatoes then dig them up to
harvest the chits you may want to sow them in a bag of compost so that you can carefully
empty them out rather than digging them up. That way your less likely to damage
or break of the chits. That's it for today. Shower, changed and out for a pint
with my mates. There's all day tomorrow for gardening.
baconsoda
Hello Brendan I don't think potatoes are on the supermarket shelf long enough to sprout chits
so no need to inhibit them. The 'sell by' date takes care of that. I also think it's the warmth more than the light
that starts them chitting. I have some early potatoes in the fridge at the
moment (another experiment) that I am trying to delay chitting and so far it's
working. I want to hold them back then sow them June time. czcams.com/video/sm34gQACeAU/video.html
@LASummer Yes they did but because the days were shortening and the nights were getting colder, they didn't amount to much. HGV
Good job
brilliant thank you very much
We all got something out of your experiment. Thanks.
Awesome
thank you man
Awesome!
Mornin’, After that, I think I will set out my potatoes on egg boxes until I see the beginnings of growth then I will plant them in their permanent growing place. Your video definitely shows this works well.
Go for it Glenda. HGV
I grew potatoes for the first time this year outside....I harvested them the end of July and saved many for seed potatoes for next year. Since I started viewing your videos I have never been so excited for my potatoes to start chitting. I started a grow room in one of my garages and with your bucket technique I am going to have a go at it this winter inside under my grow lights. I just checked on them and many of them look good to go which is very exciting to me....nevertheless there was many a time I would go to my kitchen cupboard to fetch some potatoes for supper to find them in this state (chitting) finding them in this state was very disappointing BuT NoT TodaY 😊..Thank-you for your inspirational videos you truly are...
Potato King
Hope you have a good gardening year with your potatoes. I have half a dozen different verities (shop bought) sat in the fridge waiting to go next year. HGV
do you grow potatoes in your greenhouse during the winter?...I would think you would being you grow them in pots during the season. If so do you see a big difference in quantity or quality?
@@iamfrognabox4005 A greenhouse in the UK in winter is too cold and too dark to grow anything and too expensive to rectify. HGV
From your videos the country side in which you live is very beautiful...have you ever tried your hand at cold frames...the way you can turn garbage into practical purpose I'm sure you could really get creative. It gets really cold here to but there are many year round farming techniques I have been reading about that is absolutely interesting to say the least.
I haven't heard you mention pinching off the seed heads and not letting them mature on the plant. Thank you for your efforts.
By 'seed head', do you mean the potato flowers? HGV
my potatoes were disguised as rocks
Thank you for step by step
From indo
This is exactly what I was looking for....this is my first year trying to grow potatoes and I got a late start chitting... this will help me get caught up!...thank you so much....what all did you have in the soil...?
Amazing. Now I know what to do with my potatoes. I was wondering which way was the best. My chitting in the egg cartons does not seem to work for me. This looks much better. Thanks.
Are you chitting me ! 🤣
I get those kinds of chits just by leaving the potatoes in a plastic bag( it just is losely tied not air tight no dirt) in My cubboard I one time gotten really long chits like 30-40cm in the cubbard because I totaly forgot them until It grew out of the cubboard ( there is a small crack you use to open it)
Good to know… thank you!
Happy to help!
good my friend watta pleasure
I’m trying potatoes 🥔 for the 1st time this year! I just did one! 👀 #newgardner
Cool video. Now I don't hv any reasons to grow potatoes from bought from the supermarket
This explains why commercial growers take no interest in chitting. The put the spuds in the ground and let them grow, simple as that.
I think you have also shown that just planting the potatoes without chitting also works. After all it is what potato farmers do.
Spot on Sheila. Farmers are the Pro's, they grow stuff for a living. If we just do what they do and we won't go far wrong. HGV
That is what I got out of the experiment. No need to chit, just plant them. Thanks for showing this!
when keeping potatoes for seed I keep them in the pantry when I want to plant I wet them for 15 minutes and put them on an egg tray on the table and they spout less than two weeks ready to plant .
Hello Bow. Thanks for the tip. HGV.
When u said wet them for 15mins do you mean you soak them in water for 15mins
@@babestango2974 yes with seed eyes . They swell .
@@babestango2974 yeah . It seems to work or coinsidence , not science , just works for me .
@@bowhunter69 oh you mean soak them when they already have chits or soaking them will make them cut fast? Sorry newbie here.
Very clever, how you use the egg tray to germinate potatoes, Thanks for sharing 👍
Oh i already planted my potatoes that have sprouted a little bit. i bought it from the grocery store. I really hope it will still grow.
Hello John. The sprouts are a good indication that your potato wants to grow. It will take a few months from start to finish, a little drink of water from time to time is all that's needed. Good luck. HGV.
+Home Grown Veg we have showers of rain almost everyday. Will it harm my potaoes?
Hello John. Are you growing your potatoes in the ground or in pots? HGV
I got something out of it. Thanks!
Love experiments. Good job. Your new sprouts on those under soil my die back from shock. Let us know on that ok.
Hello Brent Its a few weeks until I plant these main crop potatoes. In the mean time they will all sit together in the egg trays in the warm and the light. I expect the new white sprouts to turn green and still be 'good to go'. Only time will tell.
Thank you. I had my doubts about the instructions that came with my seed potatoes - "leave somewhere cool and dry to allow them to chit"...
when they plant them with a planter into big fields none of them are chitted, Because that would break off in the hopper and planter
That makes sense...thanks.
@LASummer Same here.
@LASummer Thank you. I was wondering if they had to be chitted first. Now I know
Have you ever amended your compost with spent coffee grouts and used this for growing potatoes ?
It's been interesting watching your video's , thanking you in anticipation of hearing back from you regards this
but also possibly hearing from others too.
Mike. I use coffee grounds when I have them. I am a tea drinker so rely on picking up coffee grounds when I visit a coffee shop. Coffee grounds are pH neutral and free and allegedly worms love the stuff so 3 good reasons to use it. I scatter it on my raised beds and I incorporate it in my potting mix, when I have it. HGV
How many times a week did you water the ones in the bag?
my red norlanders and yukon gold 4# bags I just bought these seeders and sprouted so then I can plant anytime?
Wonder if you try another experiment with both sets in the light out of compost but with one set lightly spray with water to keep it damp?
Hello sirCULTURE. That would probably work but putting the seed potatoes in a bag with damp compost means you can forget them for a few days then open the bag for a nice surprise. Give it a go right now with a couple of potatoes from your veg rack. Let me know how you get on. HGV
