There are both determinate and non determinant potatoes - the Warba that Jordan grew as mentioned, is actually a determinant (early variety so not much skin) so he didn't have to hill them. Most seed potatoes that we can get are determinate.
Great to see! Good points on growing Jordan. Your worm castings made my garden direct sow go from a B to a A+. My Marigolds first days were potted in them. I am stunned that the seedlings that all fit together in a 9' pot grew into enormous beautiful thriving bloom producing ...magnifacance...... the bush variety grew three feet tall🧑🌾👍 You sell black gold brother. I've tried other worm castings , I will always come back to you. Hopefully you will do your winter sale with consultation. I'll double down on worm castings grab a coco and chat with you again. I'm going to ask for a worm farm for Christmas to supplement my own. Thanks for teaching and gratitude for the spirit you bring. Deep bow Jordan!
Excellent Jord !! Lots of learning. Cecile and Jennifer were our favorite potatoes this year!! Actually just finished Potatoe salad for dinner yum !! Let's go !! J&C 🌱🥔🌱
Hi, Thank you very much for all your fantastic tips. I planted potatoes and got attacked by bugs. What should I do differently this time? Also, I live in a very hot country and don't have a garage to store them after harvesting - any advise?Thanks once again. Augusta
What about container potatoes? Can you use this same soil mix? I've had issues with root rot in other plants when I didn't use a container soil. My last two years of potatoes have been very sad, so I'm excited to try these changes this year!
Great video! I'm wondering though why you're planting the potatoes whole. Is there a benefit to that--bigger plants vs cutting the seed potato into pieces with an eye each?
Great question! Either way works, this way is guaranteed growth with there being multiple eyes in the soil. If you don't have an abundance of potatoes to plant whole, it's great to cut it up and use each eye :)
I have all my seed potatoes ready - but now I like the idea of the staggered planting. Is there a way to keep the seed potatoes until June 1st and July 1st? I can start today with my May planting. But I am afraid the seed potatoes won't last until July and it will be hard to find them here at that time in Ontario
I just throw them on top of the soil and cover them with lots of straw or hay and water really well. (This year I used twigs and needles thanks to hurricane Fiona.) I'll go back in the fall and harvest a nice clean crop. I find they need contact with soil but they don't need to be buried.
@@bgtuc84 How would I know you were waiting. What kind of update are you looking for? I harvested the potatoes. I ate them. I started it all over a few weeks ago.
I bought seed potatoes last year & they all sprouted quickly & planted out in May/early june as they were beginning to get moldy. Stores seemed to get sold out by April & i couldn’t stop the sprouting. Should the seed potatoes be kept in a cooler/darker space to prevent slower sprouting? Thank you Jordan
@@julia1234 Amazing! So I think the peak of Summer would be a bit too or maybe too hot - so I would start some earlier on in the Spring, and then another crop towards the end of summer so they grow while it cools down. With that being said, the best way to learn is just by experimenting, so for this year you could plant say 5 Seed Potatoes in August, 5 more in October, and 5 more in February and then see how each of them do from a yield perspective - this is exactly how I learn everything I know from a gardening perspective :)

Potatoes are one of my favourite crops. Super easy. Provide a bunch of food. And did I mention they’re super easy?
One of the best indeed!
Thanks, I am doing my planting in Uganda.

Yumm! Yeah I'm really excited for next season on them, feel like I got a really good crop plan!

Great video! I really like all the experiments you show!
Thx so much! Make sure you've subscribed to see the ones this coming season, let me just say, there are A LOT!
Well it's mid-July and I'm going to plant some potatoes see how it goes. I've never done potatoes before.
Go for it! I’m excited for you :)

Yes you can! Good luck this year :)
Hi Jordan, How, far apart should the potatoes be when planted

How do you deal with pests? I have some grubs or something that’s eating my leaves.
u can use certified organic potatoes..my experience...100 percent sprout..

Do you have an update on this method? I have been waiting over a year to hear from you? I check everyday and you have not updated.

Thank you Jordan
I would definitely suggest that yes :) Good luck!
Where do you live ?? We are in Australia and I can’t find info about best time to plant (lots of conflicting info) 🌻
I'm in Vancouver Canada, which is Zone 7B. Where abouts in australia are you?

Were these indeterminate storage potatoes?
They were Warba Seed Potatoes!
Whot tipe potatos is in usa most use?
I'm not sure :) I'm out in Canada!
Has anyone stored potatoes in baking soda?
I see you are also using containers
Do you have a video on planning potatoes in containers if not how many gallons do you recommend for potatoes?
