Hilling Potatoes with Earthquake Hiller
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- The Earthquake Hiller did an excellent job assisting with hilling the new potatoes. I did touch them up with an iron rake to get more dirt snug at the very top of the plant. This thing saved my back and the time it took to hill them taters.
pretty cool. We usually don't grow potatoes but enjoyed watching this as we never know what may end up in our garden :)
Thank you.
Looks like a pretty efficient way to hill! Sure a lot faster than doing it by hand! Thanks!! -Lea
Thank you. I have found out the ground has to be really dry (dusty) and that's when it works best.
Dammit boy! I'm on it! Great vid and thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching !;)
Best way to do it
Thanks for watching !!
Well that was simple enough!! It worked out GREAT!!!
Thank you. I have found out the ground has to be really dry (dusty) and that's when it works best. Then after you hill them pour the water to them. Thank you.
Looks like it worked out pretty good! Great job done!
Yes Sir, It really did help, saved a lot of back work.
I am going to love your channel. I do a little garden every year and this should help me.
Thank you. I like to cook and your channel looks Yummy!
@@JustMakinDoFarms well buckel your seatbelt! And enjoy the food journey! Thanks for subscribing! I appreciate you!
Very nice farm...thats the life...still here to support you friend...good work
Thank you, same to you.
That looks handy and pretty fast. I just planted a few with straw method to save my back. Might have to save up for one of these.
I'm testing 2 spots with it. I did tighten up the top with the iron rake, with a lot less work.
@@JustMakinDoFarms yes I remember you mentioning the rake... But still easier than digging and raking 😉
also the ground dirt needs to be really dry, like dusty when working the attachment. You know the term to wet to plow, well it's true..lol
@@JustMakinDoFarms yes I could see that being a problem 😉
Would this work in digging potatoes up also?
Might be possible. I'll have to do a test run.
Looks like it works really good!
It sure helps out the ole back muscles.
Very cool hiller!
Thank you.
Do you think it would work good on a front tine tiller I have a craftsman it has the attachment bar on the back.
Seems like it would, as long as the soil is good and dry. Mine works better when no rain or watering for 5-7 days. The dryer the soil, the easier it hills. I prefer the rear tine tiller, I found mine used on Craigslist for $400.00
The wings are backwards. the curve should face forward.
According to the instructions, they are correct. When I assembled it, they only fit one way. Thanks for watching.
Looks like a lot of work there with the tiller! Please stay connected. I think we might be not too far away from each other--I'm in Mobile, AL area.
Took about an 1hr an a 1/2. not too bad. Thanks for watching.
How's it holding up and how do you like it after 3 years?
It's still like bran new. Thanks for watching.
Nice video i am curious thou i always wanted to grow my own potatoes so i have a few questions first what kind of taters are you growing whats the best ph balance for them that you found and whats is the point of hilling and what does it do also is there a way to grow taters in say a 50 gallon drum for a small area like my house i dont own the land so i cant farm like that so do you have any ideas thanks i am about to go watch your other tater video
Red Pontiac potatoes, ph balance ,never tested my soil, so not sure on that. The taters grow off the plant stem,from hilling up the plant, once it is about 3/4 ft to 1ft tall is when I hill them right up to the top leaves. 50 gallon drum,I would cut it in half and plant about 3 taters in each half. Good soil to buy is Fox Farm Ocean Forest, but it cost more than others. I have seen vids on people planting taters in wire cages with straw and leaves. 5 gallon buckets also.
Quite a dirt mover!!
It really did help, saved a lot of back work.
New subscriber here enjoyed your video...let's stay connected friend
Thank you. Will do.
Hi I see you work with potatoes. Have you ever planted purple potatoes? I dont have as many plants as you do but I only grow for me and the wife. See I have a problem with the purple ones no matter what I do they come out looking puney and small have any advice? Oh thank you for joining my channel I hope you like it I'll make more soon as my leg gets better I joined yours also brother
Well I have never planted them, it could be just that type of breed (small potato) or they may need more food (nutrients). I use 10-10-10 fertilizer to start and 34-0-0 but go easy on the 34-0-0 it's powerful and will burn plants if not careful and I only use it 2 times when plants are about 6 inches tall, then 2 weeks later. The rest is 10-10-10 every 2 to 3 weeks until a month before harvest.
@@JustMakinDoFarms ok thank you for the info brother
👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you
