I love it that you get right to the point and not blah, blah, blah for 5 minutes. Very informative. I subbed ya.
Thank you much!!! Happy gardening my friend
I like the bla bla bla
Awesome tutorial just planted my first potatoes in same containers, I subbed and shared.
I also love that you get right to the point!
Same....
I can't believe the first video I clicked on was exactly what I needed. You gave incredible instructions and showed us how to do it because I'm a visual learner. And most important got straight to the point thank you thank you thank you. This is the first time I've ever found what I needed on the first video I clicked
Short video to the point no nonsense. Grate JOB. Thank you.😊
Thank you, just found your site and subscribed. I totally agree with the craziness of our society planting these huge lawns and spending hours of their life time hours mowing them. We only have so many life hours in each of our lives and I don't want to waste my life doing that when I could use that time to be more productive no matter what we choose to do with it. How did we become so obsessed with grass in this country????
I only ended up here bc I threw a potato in an empty pot. It started to grow and idk what to do with it 😭
Eat it
Good job getting right to the point and staying right on the point I have learned some things from your video. Thanks a lot.
Yeah, I can think of a few bigger channels that could learn a thing or two from this guy.
YES! I subscribed (and unsubscribed from others) for you get to the point and do not blah blah blah! Well done and thank you. Good teacher also.
This is excellent! I learned a lot and know I know why mine didn't grow a few years ago. I also just learned that we can survive on just kale and potatoes!!!! So plant lots of both!
You can't just live on cow and potatoes you'd be dead within 2 months. Or you have serious medical problems.
@@yourcarnivoreteacher1238 Might be interested in this guy who ate only potatoes for a year. He significantly healthier at the end of that year than he was going into it. Look up 'Spud Fit' or 'Spud Fit Guy'.
@@cerenademe9433 yeah I remember it turned out to be a hoax. See there's several vitamins and minerals you can't get from just eating potatoes or fruits and vegetables for that matter. One of them is B12 which is essential for brain function. Honestly, even simple common Sense would tell you that that story was a hoax.
Surviving is not thriving.
@@yourcarnivoreteacher1238
Why be rude about it? One sign of being educated is being able to preset a different viewpoint with diplomacy. People who sound educated also tend to be more persuasive.
Potatoes actually do provide most of what you need-it’s pretty fascinating when you research it.
I’d be sure to grow beans & peas as well as leafy greens.
In a survival situation, potatoes are one of the top crops and have kept many cultures alive during times of famine.
If a video goes too long, i skip it.... yours was perfect, thank you!
Perfect video! Short, sweet, and packed full of knowledge! Thanks
Thank you for the video. Very helpful.
Thanks 🙏 so much.
So easy to do & your so easy to view!
Thanks again !
The advice I was actually looking for. THANK YOU! 🏆
My next bag I pick up I will start growing this winter! So you let them go bad a little bit then plant this is awesome
I wish everyone did videos like you!! You sir, earned yourself a new subscriber. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Awesome thank you!
Thank you helped me alot
💥✨💥 4:14 at least he’s not running with scissors. My mom always said that was dangerous. 🤣 Thanks for this great, informative video.
Thanks for being short and informative
It gave me pleasure to see the video. I found out that producers put inhibitors to the potatoes sprout. I'm going to try if I can grow at least a few potatoes. I have space to put a good container and a good substrate for them. Thank you!
Thank you for talking and not having irritating music
Thanks for sharing sir
My pleasure 😊 thank you for watching!

Thanks
We are starting a late crop right now! Thank you!!!
How did it go?
I sure am I'm following the steps now and I'm going to hopefully have some potatoes this year
Never don't potatoes in a bucket before, going to give what you said a try!
I’m planting potatoes today ! I here for that .. but I just put the potatoes seeds in water let them rest little bit while watching this video .. then I’m going to plant them .. I hope it works ! Thank you for the tips!
useful
Excellent! I've been thinking of trying potatoes next spring!
BTW, you can get buckets from your grocer's bakery dept. They just throw them away. And they're great for storing dry goods!
this is SO useful thank you!! saving this info
great info.. i don't think im ready for potaotes.. i got to worry about the restart of the others.. left a like
Great video! Is there a harvest follow up?
This is more relevant than ever.
nice video, how big should the plants be before you put the last layer of compost?
I'm looking at growing potatoes inside this winter. Current temps indoors are 70 degrees, and a few of my potatoes from the store already have started chitting. Would it be advisable to put a small fish carcass in with the soil? I can't get topsoil quite yet, but will be building raised beds this winter. For now I'm thinking I'll just start a compost pile and a couple indoor buckets.
Very good video.......I bought a bunch of Depot buckets, and some 10 gal. grow bags......I'm gittin' on with it today! Thanks for the info. I'd have surely F*d it up without this video ...... :)
Rock on!!! Have fun and wish you have a plentiful harvest 😃
Hi hope all is well with you and your family. Thank you for the video, how many potatoes will this method yield?
Great!
As far as I can understand there is a need to drill holes all of the way around the bucket and under the bucket.
Thank you for sharing great videos!
Anyone else see that toddler running around with that knife around 4:21?
Thanks for sharing!! Trying this now 🥰
Hey how did it go???
@@taylorwilson1522 it failed. I'm going to try this spring
@@robindawson2803 do you think it failed because you did something wrong? Or the information is wrong?
@@taylorwilson1522 what I did. Great info!
@@robindawson2803 awesome I think I might do it next spring! We should continue to talk about it :)
Thank you! Did you put holes in the bottom of the bucket?
Thanks for the video, where did you get your soil from ?
What about adding potato fertilizer? Great video!
Great video! How long does it take for potatoes to be ready to take out of bucket? And the soil bag what’s the name of it?
Planted today! Inspired by this video!!! Did everything as you recommend, base layer of soil, starters (chitted), then 4-6 more inches, now just going to give it some time to see some of the sprouts coming through.... how long do you think until we'll need to fill the rest of the soil in? BTW... GLORIOUS video! Exactly what I needed to know without extra fluff!
I have the exact same question 🙋♂️
update: for the red pitatoes, filled in the rest of the soil at two weeks from planting, for the other varieties they cleared the initual layer of soil at the three week mark! Very healthy!!!
How many potatoes grow in a bucket?
This is my first time and my sprouts are almost through so it about time to fill up the soil and wait for the potatoes I'm so happy I found your channel
That’s so exciting!!! So happy for you, thank you so much for watching and hope to hear from you again soon 😀🌱
How long does it take for the green point to show up?
What do you suggest for the watering interval and amounts for bucket potatoes and even for normal potatoes?
So you placed 3 chits in the 1 bucket.. how many potatoes will that one bucket yield?
Also, I planted probably 10 chits in a half whisky barrel ..
Unfortunately I didn't really read up first and didn't layer up after they started peaking through.. my sprouts are several inches above the dirt now.. can I still layer up carefully around them? I have enough room to the top of my barrel to do so..
Your thoughts?
hi from brazil
I have one right now!😂❤
But its nyc👌👌
THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR TECHNIQUES!!!🤓👍🏾🌱🍠🍠🍠🙋🏾🔥🙏🏽👑✝️📖🔥
How long before I might start seeing them pop up? I put my in the buckets about two weeks ago.
Sorry. I'm on edge about them taking off.
We had two weeks of hard rain. I don't know if that might have killed mine.
I usually chit after I eat my potatoes
Great video! I'm trying this method for the first time, so your advice is excellent. The child running with a knife at around 4:20 gave me a laugh too!
😂 I worried this video was about to take a dark turn
What I do in the hot summer months with russet potatoes is grow them in a huge 55 gallon trash can.
1, get a large plastic CHEAP trash can and pop drainage holes in the bottom.
2, cut a fist sized square at the base.
3, stick a brick there to block it up.
4, put potatoes in the bottom and cover with dirt.
5, add water.
Within days you'll notice potato 'eyes' poping out. As the plants grow up cover with more dirt and water about once heavily a week or until soil is dry.
The results are quite astonishing because russet potatoes are not only tough as all hell they're disease resistant and thrive in poor soil! I got potatoes so big I couldn't even pull them out!
Can you say long from planting to harvest did it take? Were you happy with how many potatoes grew in the can?
When your potatoes come up through soil say 2" tall with tiny leaves, do i cover them up with more soil or wait till taller and put soil up around plant covering stem.
Can you tell us how many pounds you got out of that bucket? I've read that you're not supposed to plant seed potatoes closer than 12". Thanks for any update.
To anyone reading this a year later, I wouldn't worry too much about exact spacing. "Disperse gardening" is when you kind of let your garden run a little bit wild and overgrow. Just throw some potato sprouts into the soil and let them grow. I have two pepper plants growing right on top of each other right now (I waited too long to separate them) and they're doing just fine.
@@Brachwah two peppers together are normal practices as a support
Totally new to growing veg in general.. I'm absorbing all of this 😁👍 many cheers lads and lasses!
@@serwalkerofthekeynes8761 Plant it, mulch it, keep it watered.
And keep it supported.
That's gardening in a nutshell.
Can I use a 55 gallon drum plastic cut in half. (I have one )
Hey, very nice information. What is the best time and temp for growing them in Canadian temperature. I am in Toronto. Do I keep it covered at night just to save it from sudden drop in temperature. Please advise.
Hey from the midwest! did you ever get your answer,?Were still pretty cold here at night and I want to avoid losing potatoes over it
Main thing seems to be to keep the potatoes above freezing, and usually by the time the nighttime lows are above 46F / 8C, you're unlikely to suddenly dip back below freezing.
I do actually put digital thermometers in my garden overnight (usually up on a brick and/or inside a plastic bag so they don't get too much condensation. It won't effect the temperature reading) to see if things are getting chilly. If it gets too cold, I'll put a cover over.
If the prediction is for near freezing temps, I'll put a cover over.
If the cover doesn't seem to keep things warm enough, I'll realize that I planted too early and make a note of it for next year. 😕
Hope that helps some.
In Alberta; we start growing after may 21
Hello... I love this....
Can they be grown in tyres
I wouldn’t recommend it due to chemicals used in tires but you certainly could
@@ExpeditionHomestead thank you
Does this work for both indeterminate and determinate potatoes?
LET’S DO THIS!
Thank you Potato 🥔 God 😆
Little man in the back was stealing your show😂
🖤
Should 45 degree avg nightly temps be aimed for around expected harvest time? Because in Texas, there aren't 60 days straight of 45F weather. Like in the fall for instance, I could START them when the avg nightly temps are 45F-ish (november), but by the time they're to finish, it'd be much colder. If I finish them in November, then I'd have to start them when the avg nightly temps are around 70F. Shame, I want to start now with some potatoes I have but the avg nightly temps are 77F
He just means coming out of winter, wait until the temp is at least 45F at night or they'll freeze. They should be fine in warmer temps as long as they aren't getting completely blasted by heat and sun through the day. If it's pretty hot, just keep an eye on them in case they need some shade or more frequent watering.
@@Jemilla1337 Thanks Jemilla
@@Jemilla1337 we can move buckets to shade but how many hours of direct sun do they need
I’m in central Calif and some nights during winter get in 40’s. Wondering since they’re in a bucket if I could just put them in the garage at night and then outside in warm sun all day.
@@sheRaRa101 seems reasonable
We are now ready for 2023
Check out Macy ranch farms for some worm castings!
Can I use coco coir instead of peat moss?
You should add a link to the harvest video in the description.
Wil deteriorated leaves work in place of peet moss , emergency situation?
I threw some soft potatoes into my compost bin. A month later I have sprouting potatoes in my bin, so today I transplanted them into a bucket that I drilled bottom holes in with the soil from the compost bin.
What I want to know is after the bush has grown up how will I know when to harvest?
I must have had tomato seeds in there too because my soil produces lots of tomato plants...
and we need to know how many potatoes you get in one bucket?
I know you've probably found out by now, but most potatoes should be harvested when the visible part of the plant is dying.
Can this be done inside?
Where is your green house from? Im looking for one like that
Would you suggest placing rocks in the bottom before adding the soil to improve drainage? Something I usually do when growing potted plants.
I have my chitted potatoes ready to go! Here goes nothing! 🌱🥔
When you use that soil do you need to add any bone or blood meal?
You're chittin me !
How much does that yield?
How much water should I add approximately each week? Thinking of doing this indoors during cold winters.
Can I grow potatoes in a bucket inside this fall and winter?
Does the bucket need to be food grade? Or just washed out
Can I use this method w grow bags
Absolutely!!
I found a potato in my cupboard and it’s got looooonnnggg roots on it but I don’t know what way I’m meant to plant it 😂 they look like roots but I’m not sure because they come up from the potato and then go down towards the potato and wrap around it.
yes, those are little rhizomes/tubers growing off of the original potato! cool isn't it?
I have 3 foot growth in bucket today June 1 2023, plants starting to produce blossoms, should I remove them or let them grow? Thanks, 1st time trying to grow taters.
I live on the 5th floor apartment, will it still grow in my balcony?
How seeds per 5 gallon pale can be added?
I've had pretty good luck in the past with taters. Not hard to grow.
So you added 3 into that bucket.. What is the yield usually like? Was thinking of using a trash can cause it's bigger and can add more of the seed pieces..
maybe 5 - 8 pounds of potatoes would be considered a good harvest.
