Digging and Storing Your Potatoes
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 май 2015
- Do you know how to tell when your potatoes are ready to dig? How do you store them once they are harvested? Potatoes need to be dug at the right time to prevent ground rotting and dry storage is key to making them last as long as possible.

Harvesting AND planting new ones today. Growing potatoes all year round in Panama.
Wow! That's really neat. Wish we could grow them year round. But we have to settle for a spring harvest and grow enough to store throughout the year.
Viva Panama where are you located we are moving to chiriqui next year any pointers on potatoes thank you and GOD BLESS!
Don't potatoes bruise or get nicks in them by tossing them in the 'bin' like that? I know they're tough but I think you would benefit (and get less spoilage) by handling them more gently at the start.
The dirt on the potatoes protects them and the bottom of that tub is smooth. You're right in that you do have to be careful not to break the flesh. We don't ever have any spoilage issues as long as you keep them shaded and dry.
@@gardeningwithhoss If you fall from the roof of your house onto a smooth surface you will still bruise and break. Gently put the taters in the tub.
@@offthemap9582 ever seen a commercial spud farm dig the harvest? Gentle is not included in that operation. They’re not eggs.
Thanks for the video!
You're welcome!
Thank you so much for your advise. Very much appreciated.
You're welcome and thanks for watching!
wow end of February. up here in Ontario Canada we got 4 feet of snow and frost in the dirt down ten to 12 feet lol. just thought I'd share the difference in our weather just for kicks. end of may we start to plant up here.
Definitely a huge difference in the climates. We basically can grow all year here, which is great. But our insect and disease pressure down is also much higher which can cause many headaches. Thanks for watching!
Eat the causalities the same day, they will be fine.
They definitely don't go to waste. Us or the chickens will take care of them. Thanks for watching!
I cut my potatoes up n put them n cans took to caning plant
That's d slow way
My uncle Bill and grandfather put down hay in the storm cellar floor and put their potatoes on top of the hay. I know their potatoes meant a lot to them.
That's a good way to do it as well!
Thank You! I live in Toronto Canada. Today I ate potatoes and wondered what kind of work it is for people to harvest potatoes. I have looked at a number of different videos that include everything from gardeners to huge farming machines, and, sizes in between. My question as a city dweller is, what kind of food do the people who grow food crops, have the safest, healthiest, most enjoyable time growing?
Hi Brian. Here in the southern United States, fresh sweet corn, tomatoes and watermelon are probably our favorites. When we think of summertime, we think of harvesting those crops in our garden.
Since you want to be 100% safe maybe you should stick to growing dandelions and plantains in your lawn.
Are your potatoes ready to dig? How do you know when is the best time to get them out of the ground? How do you plan on storing them once they are harvested? We've got your answers! #wheelhoe #growyourownfood
Our potatoes are just now coming up, I hope too have at least half of what you picked.
Eric Hess good luck. We hope you have a bountiful harvest!
Did you grow those from potato peelings that had formed eyes and also what is your soil composition like? 1/3 sand, 1/3 manure, 1/3 something else?
Cut up the potato, making sure each cut has an eye. Our soil is about 1/3 sand, we add compost and complete organic fertilizer a few weeks before planting.
my potato plant 1st planted when up then made a wiled bush of leaves then a few months down the line they are turning yellow and are not a bush of leaves some are still green do i pull out of the ground? or let them all turn yellow. also i planted them in February and mine look just like hes leaves so i do not know if to harvest or leave for later.
Once the plants start to wilt, that's when you want to dig the potatoes. If you planted in February, they're definitely ready to dig by now. Thanks for watching!
Thanks they are nice and fresh.

Do you have a video on how to plant potatoes
We have quite a few of them. Here's our potato planting video from this past spring: ruclips.net/video/uU3V7YqgNUg/видео.html
Do y'all preserve them by canning or freezing?
Some people we know preserve them in mason jars, but we don't really like them that way. We spread them on dry dirt underneath the barn and they keep for months.
Do you know your ballpark yield in pounds per row foot for the potatoes?
average 10 pounds to 1 pound planted.
@Hoss Tools How long will a crop of potatoes like that store??
If kept dry, they'll keep for several months.
Hoss Tools thanks so much. i grew a huge crop of collards last year and blanched and froze em and they tasted delicious. Got me to thinking about growing bigger quantity and saving different foods this coming growing season.
I put in potatoes this year for the first time. I think I killed them. We are in a wet period now, it's been raining 4 or 5 days. It stops every now and then and the sun comes out but it doesn't last long.
Too much rain can invite lots of fungal disease that can hurt potatoes. It's much easier to grow a garden in a dry year than a wet year.
no way, i mound with straw instead of soil. when i harvest, i just move back the straw.

Why don’t you do what the natives from Bolivia do freeze your potatoes and you can have potatoes all year long….they’ve been doing that for hundreds of years….long before Thomas Jefferson got any ideas about being free from Great Britain….long before Idaho grew a single potato…
