I'm 61 years old, spent my first 30 years on a farm. We kept a small 1.25 acre garden. Had taters every year. My father grew up in the Great Depression, farming, his father, farmer. Your phrasing was offensive to every farmer I ever knew. Never planted them like your thumbnail picture. Potatoes do not grow on top of the ground. They evolved to sprout from where they grew. Underground. I have 3 potato plants growing now that I set from 1 cut potato and planted separately. Old farmers could teach you young, well educated, geniuses a few things.
I’m sorry that you found the picture offensive. It was meant to show what a seed potato looks like when it sprouts and it is ready to be planted. If you watch the video, I talk about how seed potatoes need to be covered with 6-8 inches of soil, but that is because I planted determinate potatoes. I explain how indeterminate potatoes have to be hilled, which I apologized for not being able to show how to do that because I have a container garden. Then, I mentioned that there were other channels that did show how to plant those varieties if you wanted to learn. When I lived on my farm, I was able to plant indeterminate potatoes, but unfortunately I’m now living in the city. I found it to be more productive to plant determinate potatoes in the containers because I could plant quick growing crops, like spinach and radishes, on the top of the soil to utilize the space for growing more vegetables. I’m greatful to still be able to garden using containers, but I really miss my farm because I’m a lot more limited now in what I can grow. I hope that you now understand why I used that picture.
@@asatur_YT The plants only yielded about 4 kg because they developed early blight. I used copper to treat the plants, but the disease eventually still spread to the potatoes. Why do you suggest planting a maximum of two pounds?
