- Ruth Stout Potato Harvest: Year 3 - No Dig Gardening
In our third year of growing potatoes in a Ruth Stout bed, we made a few changes in order to try to reduce the amount vole damage that we saw from last year.
In this potato harvest video 2022, we are harvesting several different potato varieties including: superior white potatoes, purple magic molly potatoes, Kennebec potatoes, Russet potatoes, and Yukon Gold potatoes.
In addition, we are looking to see what the results of placing hardware cloth under the bed and a vole deterrent device in the bed did in terms of reducing some of the damage from the voles.
Even though our results were not as large as last year's harvest, we did see a marked decrease in the amount of vole damage, so that is a definitely plus for this ruth stout potato bed. If you want to know how to grow Ruth stout potatoes, or how easy it is to harvest them, check out this video.
Thank you for watching this no till gardening harvest!

Magic molly yes ruth stout in compost bags
I love it!
Thanks for sharing your method of growing potatoes. This is my second year with growing potatoes. Nothing like the taste of a fresh potato.
You are welcome, and agreed completely. We grow a lot of potatoes and sweet potatoes using different methods, but this is one of the easiest styles. We would agree with you completely. This is one of our favorite tastes. Have a wonderful weekend!
Great style of gardening, with nice results!
I’ve not tried the style. Haven’t gotten my hands on the hay yet.
I think the hay isn't the most difficult to get a hold of if you can find a local farmer to help with the supply. :)
I have to harvest my last potatoes. Been trying to wait a little longer
Do you still have some warm weather coming your way? Our warm streak ended yesterday.
I'm in South Dakota, zone 4b/5a. Last year wasn't a good potato season for some reason. We'll get it this year!
In 23 I am planting French Fingerling, Yukon Gold, Yellow Banana Fingerling and Red Gold.
Well done!! They look so fresh too!! Sometimes growing them in pots you find them with scabs and they look scungy if that's a word!!
I know exactly what you are referring to. We have dealt with potato scab for sure, but these came out looking great. Thank you so much for watching!
just a heads up here. FYI the green is not a problem. Use your potato peeler and peel the green side. Keep peeling into the potato flesh until there is no more green. The rest of the potato is exactly like the rest of your potatoes. Hope this helps.

Good harvest, again. I till haven't harvested two buckets of regular and sweet potatoes. I wanted to give them some more time to finish growing since we've been having good weather.
Our weather just shifted so severely. We had been holding on to warm weather up through yesterday (70s+) but now I see nothing but mid-30s and colder coming our way for the foreseeable future.
Looks like the purple potatoes aren't being damaged
I noticed the same thing!
I think what keeps my from trying to Ruth method is messy looking nature of the bed. The bales just decompose and flop all over the area they are in. Mounded decomposing hay is not attractive to me in a garden 😅. I do a no-till gardening style but in my raised bed. Maybe if it was done inside a raised bed of some sort I’d give it a try 🤔 Something to ponder for a future year, but my plans for next year are already large. Thanks to all your informative encouraging videos on potatoes I’m going to try to grow them in my garden next year. Magic Molly’s, here I come! Team Potato 🥔 ☺️
I get what you mean, and the look of it is an acquired taste. I like the idea of having a raised bed specifically for this purpose, so that might be interesting in the future. I really don't think you will regret going with the magic mollys. They have been productive for us, and the taste is exceptional! Best of luck!
I agree... I'm planning on trying this method in my front yard for a fall harvest and have a bunch of wood I chopped up from when my neighbors cut their trees.. my plan is to line the sides with the cut wood to make it look like a pretty raised bed😂 hope it works!!
I put garden edging around my potatoe beds, and voila, it cleaned it up so nicely it looks beautiful!!
It's not Sweet....BUT it's a potato...so we good😁🤗
Hahaha! You know it!
Someone said its better to pinch flowers off for more energy to tubers what do you think?
We just asked that question of others. I am really not sure. I know it would prevent the potato berries from forming, but I don't know how much of a difference it would make. I kind of want to experiment with that next season and see.
I can't find a good source of budget friendly straw bales near me, so I haven't tried it. I really like growing potatoes in grow bags.
Same. Straw is too expensive where I am. I just let the fallen leaves do the work for me.
Yep. Me too. $15 per bale for clean straw.
We use hay only. Straw is a little harder to come by here (our local nursery has it for about $10/bail). Hay, on the other hand, we can get pretty easily from local farmers who don't spray, and the cost there is usually around $4-5/ bail for us, and we have sourced a good bit of that through craigslist, so you might give that a try as well.
I can not get hay here, only straw and I used it the first time. I'm curiuos how they look when I harvest them end of November. Hopefully it worked! 🙏
Straw should be good too. What is your growing zone? We would love to know how your harvest goes!
@@GutenGardening I'm in Portugal in zone 10a.
@@Victory_Gardener how did you go?
I keep thinking your going to uncover a nest! Eek
We definitely have before (in our vertical hay garden) but not this time. :D
