Yukon Gold & Red Potato Harvest: The Harvest That Never Ends
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 июн 2014
- I am very pleased with the Yukon Gold and Red potato harvest. This is the first time I've grown Yukon Gold potatoes. Growing potatoes has got to be one of the easiest vegetables to grow. All I really did is feed them once a week with the Mittleider weekly feed and water them. I share how I grew them, which potato has the greatest nutrition between Yukon Gold, Red and Sweet potatoes and the kind of harvest you can expect using the Mittleider gardening method.

I am always amazed at how much you could harvest potatoes from such little space.
That was fun, can you imagine digging potatoes with kids and how excited they would be as they kept finding more.
You could try putting posts on the corners and a strong string all along to stop the foliage from collapsing into the walkway. Xx
You have sold me and I am so grateful like our family’s life depends on it. Step by step and line upon line.
I really enjoyed this video. Thank you!
awesome. might try that method. ty
One gardener mounded his Yukon gold. He says. The potatoes will also grow from the stems. He kept pulling soil up the plants a little over foot.
I hope that gave him more potatoes. I haven't seen that to be the case.
I think if you look closer, there are still some more potatoes in the raised bed :)
Man, I am struggling finding a good video that shows the process for harvesting. Cut the plant above ground off. Than it just sort of skipped to them pulled out of the ground. Should I use my pitchfork to pull the clump of potato’s up?
How about 6+ hrs per day Ok to plant potatoes? Thanks
How many how many plants did you initially plant?
What was the gardening method you named?
What's your weekly feed?
But wait, there's more...
Red potatoes always out produce white potatoes 4 to 1.
Some say he's still finding potatoes today...
That was very cute and fun to watch. Thank you.
hahahaha love it
From the video to the comments posted this post was very helpful for me to get my first experience with planting Yukon Golds & Red Potato's. Thanks for sharing all this great information.
80 lbs. Wow. Congratulations. Thanks for the video.
"The harvest that never ends".....lol. I like your results. Congratulations. Thanks for posting.
Thanks David, Wow, beautiful growing!!! Nice return. We love both Yukon gold and the red potatoes. Just a wonderful vid. We are getting our soil ready for sweet potatoe planting. Just waiting on our slips to get going. Fun, fun, fun!!!
I am so happy for you on you Golden Yukon potatoes!!~ Keep up the good work!
From what I've read, purple potatoes are the highest in vitamin C, minerals and antioxidants. Supposedly, it is the best all around in nutritional value. They taste good also. I grew some this year and am waiting to see what kind of harvest I get. I'm hoping that the harvest will be as good as their nutritional values are...real high!
Such an exciting harvest!
I had a 6x8 box, twelve inches deep, filled with Mel's Mix from Square Foot Gardening. I also used a monthly organic fertilizer mix. I harvested 42 pounds of potatoes and 18 pounds of onions with horseradish and shallots still in the box. The most productive was Incan Blue, followed be pontiac red, yukon gold, and then a poorer production of russet potatoes.
Awesome harvest!
WOW I hope my potatoes do as good! Great yield!!!
Excellent video and harvest! The red potatoes always did better, here in Georgia, for us also.
Wonderful harvest David!
that is sooo awesome to see
i rolled down the top couple inches of the potato bag and was greeted by thick roots. Potbound roots. I picked the bag up, put it in one of the empty green sterilite container beds, and i started prying the bag loose.
Every inch of soil touching the sides, /and/ the air shaft I dug down the middle of the bag was covered in roots.
My heart sank, i was going to have to transplant potatoes a third time. As I went through all four of my potato containers, I had to thin out the weakest plants and pulled out potato after potato, some thumb sized, some quarter sized, and a number of potatoes between golf ball and baseball in size. They kept coming, baby size, fingerling size, a number that, had I not been working in a container garden would have been put to seed.
I just had to halve the amount of potato plants in the planter, stick them around the edges of the sterilite container, and bury them. V.V;;;;; I said earlier this season that it seems that for potatoes however much space I /think/ they need, double it. Well i thought they needed four pots, they needed 8.
At least mom can transplant her giant potted palm tree now >.>;;;;;
it really helps and amazed me to see someones idea..thnk u sir for the video..
This was very fun to watch.
Thanks for the video. Nice yield. I'm growing sweet potatoes for the first time this year.
Awesome. You'll love them. I grew mine for 7 months. The harvest was amazing and the potatoes too.
+LDSPrepper what state are you in?
I so enjoyed this video! It kept me giggling for sure! That's a lot of potatoes! No! There is even more potatoes! And more potatoes! Holy cow! Even more potatoes! LOL
thankx very cool
How would you suggest we store ours? We live in KS and do not have a root cellar. We have a basement.
Is it hard to find sawdust from lumber that hasn't been treated with chemicals .
I'm excited I got my potatoes growing in a half gallon cart waiting on my potatoes very happy I been wanting to do this for years but mines is indoors but will see gone get me can cause these brats were I live tic me off kids parents never watch them
Great harvest!
I planted red and Yukon last year and my red produced better too. This year my Yukon gold plants look much bigger and healthier than the reds. Still time to go so maybe the reds will catch up. I plant in a trench and hill once. Then I use straw for the "hilling". The bugs don't like the straw and I have much less potato bug infestation. Oh and those varieties can very well. Hold shape and texture.
how did you build your boxes. I am eager to begin my home garden, but I don't know how to build a box.
lol made me laugh but it was a good result. planning to learn and planting.
Very nice!
I love sweet potatoes
a little trick with potato plants once you get about a foot tall plant mound dirt around it all the way up the plant you will get double the potatoes that way maby make another removeable outer frame for your raised bed to add more hight to them all that foliage is wasted potatoes
very nice video, thank you....
lol "The Harvest that never ends" 😂 Tbh, I'd be paranoid that I didn't get them all :0 👍🏼
Have you considered the logistics for year a round supply for your family? How many harvests? What size harvests?
Thanks for the video!
i love farm..and i want to become a succes farmer inshaALLAH....AAMIIN
LDS I am interested in your soil I never heard of (sawdust and sand) do you think your potatoes might have been bigger if you used a more fetal soil?
sawdust and sand. on all veggies? and fertilizer
what did you use to keep potato bugs off your potato plants?
David, could u please make a document and upload to the MGM Facebook page detailing all the info u know about planting and harvesting the various types of potatoes? Like when to plant certain types( red, gold and sweet), when to harvest, if we can plant multiple times throughout the growing season and whatever else u can share? I WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING IN YOUR HEAD ABOUT GARDENING. U ought to write a book. Thx.
Thanks for asking. Everything I know and do I've put on my videos. Search "potato" on my channel to see what I've done, when to plant and harvest, etc.Also check your local planting schedule usually available from the university agricultural extension office in your area.
Red potatoes, and Yukon Gold are both Determinate potatoes and do not need mounding/hilling.
Do you have videos of setting up your watering system??
As a prepper do you grow potatoes to get the potato berrys on the top of plant to get true seeds to save? Many do grow the true potato seeds. You can store seeds up to 40 -50 years. Great to stock up on them in the event tubers disappear due to unknown or disease.
Now, how will you store them?
........wait a minute......!......ANOTHER ONE! :o
do you put preplant down 1x a year or 1x per planting? If you're replacing with sweet potatoes did you preplant before them (or am I just not to that video yet :))?
THE FERTILIZERS THAT YOU USED, ARE THEY CHEMICAL BASED FERTILIZERS?
Sawdust and sand would create a light soil to grow in which means there will be a higher quantity. Planting 2" beside the outer board means the Yukon Gold simply cannot produce as many potatoes as they could have because there is not enough room to grow. Spacing at 8" in a bed is a little tight and will reduce yields; 12" is better, although Yukon Gold is a smaller plant with slightly smaller yields. Most important point is light soil with good watering. Also, potatoes should sit in ground 2 weeks, undisturbed, if you want to store them through the winter.
+S Danielson do you cut down the plant then let them sit? I have problems trying to keep through winter. Is there a certain time to plant for that?
Great amont of puds
i have purple peruvian potatoes and red sangre potatoes. I was wondering if they're ready to be harvested when they bloom or at what point they're ripe. The plants are a foot and a half high, extremely bushy, and I think I spilled tomato seeds or something in the planter cause there's one growing there.
One of the planters is a cloth sack planter from tractor supply, very deep, and I suspect the sides can be rolled down to check.
As for how to tell if they've had too much water, I have the answer to that. They develop cracks. The cracks are not pathogenic, meaning they won't make you sick, and they are not a sign of potato illness. I discovered this when one of the sterilite containers I use as raised beds got its drainage holes clogged. I was trying to clear the drainage holes and the boggy smelling mud when I discovered three potatoes big enough to be eaten, including a purple peruvian potato that had a big massive crack down one side. I needed to look it up, because if it could be eaten... well i love purple potatoes. I couldn't waste them!
Peruvian purples will stain the knife when you cut them open. They contain anthocyanins (sp?) the nutrient in blueberries that makes them both blue and healthy.
Those potatoes you missed would have popped up next sping anyway!
I've been watching your videos for weeks now. What did you use to make the soil for your potatoes? I'm new to this and want to do it right.
DanielleHall7 Thank you for asking. It is a 1:1:1 ratio of sawdust:rice hulls:course sand. You could use many different mixtures like 2:1 sawdust and sand.
How big is your yard there?
.. You would have had a better yield if you only waited until the potato plant foliage died and withered away before you harvested....
25lb is a good yeald???
Bugs? If so, what did you use to get rid of them?
Actually I didn't do anything for bugs. Twice I removed unhealthy leaves, etc but I never needed to treat for bugs. When I harvested I didn't see any bugs either. I'll just count my blessings on that one.
I have always waited until the tops turned brown to allow the potatoes to draw back all the nutrients from the tops , is this wrong ? should i harvest sooner ?
thanx for the update =)
I didn’t show in the video but the 2/3 I harvested was a week later and the plants had all died. The reason I waited was for them to do that before I harvested.
hi. do you have a video showing how you planted this particular bed? did not find one. thx
Thanks for asking. Here you go. ruclips.net/video/pgMWl8YXkQc/видео.html
What type of scale is that
Good video, but WHAT Red potatoes did you plant? Sangre; All Red; Red Norland; Viking Red; Romanze; Red Pontiac; Red La Soda; Chieftain; Caribe etc??? Yield and Maturity and storability vary greatly. See The Complete Book of Potatoes.
That's a LOT of potatoes, how do you store them to prevent spoiling?
+T.K. Archibald Freezer. You boil them anyways so any textural change is moot.
What do I do with the soil afterwards
So did you see any difference in harvest of middle row, with no direct irrigation? Also did you put down MM feed down the middle row too, or just where you irrigated directly?
I didn't really see any difference in yield from the sides or middle. I did fertilize all the rows once a week and hand watered in the fertilizer. Maybe that is all it took. Like I said on the video I think I may have over watered the sides.
What is the variety of the red potato?
How long did it take from planting to harvest?
Takes about 120 days
Do you think if you put additional side boards on the grow box to make the potato beds deeper and added more soil mix from the start or added thru mounding during the grow season if it might produce larger yields? Just wondering if the deeper soil might allow more potatoes in the same sq footage?
Yes, just keep hilling every 6 inches or so....
Did you mound your potatoes or just stick them in and let them grow?
+SolarDrew We did not mound them. Using the Mittleider gardening method there is no need for mounding. MittleiderGardening.com
Do you need to harvest all the potatoes from a plant at once, or can you dig up one or two and let the plant continue to grow? I just have a few plants, so I'd like to pick a couple now, but only if that won't stunt further growth, since at least another month would be ideal.
+Frank Burns I often use my hands to feel around in the dirt to take whatever amount of potatoes that I need. This doesn't harm the plant, and it will continue to grow unless you uproot the whole thing.
kitsunegari Great, thanks! I cheated anyway and pulled up some nice little spuds. Good to know it didn't do any harm, and it's true--they are way better than what you get in the grocery store!

Do you buy seed potatoes or do you buy from the grocery store and cut your own?
I buy seed potatoes from local feed stores, master gardeners or online. I tried regular bags potatoes from the store and they did not grow. I'm guessing they sprayed them so they would not sprout in storage which prevented them from growing in my garden. If you could find organic, non-sprayed potatoes in the store it might work.
how do you store your potatoes to keep it from going bad all winter?
Pressure canner
Is growing them cost effective? 80 lbs of potatoes in the market is roughly $20, including gas to get there :) How much does it cost you to fertilize and water them?
ima bemedou I think most people grow their own food for being productive....
How many pounds of seed potatoes did you plant to get 80 pounds in return?
4 lbs of red potatoes and 8 lbs of Yukon gold.
That's a pretty ROI. Thank!
I would love to use the sand and sawdust for my raised garden bed, but where do you find that much sawdust, and do you prepare according to the size of the space of the raised bed?
littlered416 I found all the free sawdust I can use by calling cabinet making shops. I don't understand your question about preparing.
I think you need to let me come and Glean your grow boxes! :) I feel poor most weeks any more! "'When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Leave them for the poor and for the foreigner residing among you. I am the LORD your God.'" Lev 23:22
good harvest but pounds lbs damn colony learn kilogram.
Ah, but did the Lord not say, "do not glean your fields"?
