Okay, growing up on a farm, facts:
As I stated previously Foam boxes have chemicals in them. If desperate to use it, once only because the sun and heat causes chemicals to break down the foam, which gets into the root system and in the food you eat.
Secondly, potatoes can take 3 months to 6 months to grow fully.
Thirdly, some potatoes won't produce many potatoes because they are hybrid or have been sprayed with no sprout.
Fourthly, if can use the potatoes and if you don’t cut them properly and feed them, the crop won't be plentiful.
Fifthly, it's cheaper to buy them. lol
If you want to grow food.
Get the soil tested and use ceramic sealed or porcelain pots, and don't grow them like in this video unless you want to die younger.
Seriously this not how to grow potatoes
Thank you for sharing your insights! It's important to be mindful of the potential risks when using certain materials for planting.
Do you have any questions?
Demo is easy to understand .I can do it myself in my garden.
For the ppl commenting about the styrofoam got it.. where they are growing they use what they can..so modify it. Very good, useful informative video. Thanks for posting.
Knowledge gain from this is very useful even in home gardening
Interesting fact "Polystyrene foam contains the chemical styrene, which has been linked to cancer, vision and hearing loss, impaired memory and concentration, and nervous system effects".
I never got why people would choose to grow anything in plastic or styrofoam. Adding chemicals to your food. No way they got this many potatoes either, the dirt magically displace itself out of the box to make room for 100 potatoes 😂
Thank you for sharing that information. This video is annoying on so many levels but now also potentially deadly! This prick should be made to eat all of his tiny potatoes raw!!
I would just do this with a wood box
@beffis1980 depends if the wood has been treated and a lot of times it's treated with Arsenic
Just by untreated timber
Interesting...any chance you could add a quick 1 sentence explanation under each element you are adding? Like when you have the caption "dried leaves" maybe add "dried leaves to________" or the like? That would make finding alternatives easier to find if need be.
Thank you for the suggestion! I'll make sure to add more explanations under each element in the future.
Have you ever grown potatoes in Styrofoam containers?
Yeah, definitely explain the reason behind using cement. Is it sealing off that side of the potato to protect from rot?
Cement mulch prevents rotting in the potato set, protects it until it grows roots, etc.@@lNerdsNamedMicah
9@@lNerdsNamedMicah
It's been nice following you. Please, keep the good work up
got some boxes today defo trying it with potatoes. thanks
Have you tried waiting for the vines to begin to die back? The potatoes should continue to grow until the plant begins to die off. Bigger potatoes...
Who knew potatoes had a master plan to outlast the neighboring plants?
Glad im not the only 1 who snags tators off liveing plant just take few ya need & cover back up. Havent had any luck replanting a striped plant tho. Never seems to make more.
Gorgeous!
WAO‼ it's very amazing😊
The tire method in the back too lol
Saw that one in The Mother Earth News back in 1970.
PECCATO CHE CONTAMINA TODO CON LA PLÁSTICA
I appreciate your feedback, let's find eco-friendly alternatives together.
Great ❤
Where did you buy the potatoes that are on the ground??
Aloe & cement umm yeah id never thought of either of those
Love video sharing, Thank you😍😍😍
Thank my friend
Siento que debió dejarlas. Un poco más de tiempo y que no debía destruir las cajas
Thanks for the heads up! I'll be more careful with the boxes next time.
Thise freehand circles tho... ❤
I appreciate how the circles weren't perfectly spaced (I'm not judging), but the freehand circle has a PhD in 360 Degrees. 😂
Humans are wild.
It's like the potatoes are having a party in those foam boxes!
The aloe seems nice and maybe helpful, but quite time consuming. Cement? That seems very strange…wish he said why he uses it. And I agree with all other comments, including great freehand circles. Mine are laughable.
What was the reason behind dipping potato pieces in cement?
Cement mulch prevents rotting in the potato set, protects it until it grows roots, etc.
Don't use cement buy the proper powder for them
😂😂😂well said. Acting to smart
Cement and styrofoam for potatoes!I don’t think so!
One has to improvise
Good
What is the cement for
cement to heal potato cuts
What is use of that middle bottle 😮
I'm guessing you add water on top of the compost that you add into the bottle. Compost and water through that bottle , I'm guessing
Plastic bottles containing organic fertilizer from kitchen waste
wow! see how dry are those potatoes coming out of the ground?
Those potatoes really reached for the stars, didn't they?
like to see full tour of ur farm
Get ready for the full farm experience! Don't forget your virtual boots.
We grow potatoes every year and all ours are still connected to the roots when we dig them up unlike yours. It's crazy that only your small ones are still connected to the roots, but the larger ones have miraculously self-disconnected. In one box your potatoes were all on one level like they had been placed there for clicks and likes. I guess I could be wrong but in nature nothing is uniform, so I am a little suspicious for sure. ;)
Ah, the mystery of the self-disconnecting potatoes! Nature has its own way of keeping us on our toes.
True so true :)@@DIYGardenIdeas
RUclipsrs are mostly fake information. Buying many potatoes from supermarket and make a video.

I can get the boxes but not dried banana leaves as I'm in the uk lol
Keep pushing through, you'll find a way to get those banana leaves!
Foam boxes have chemicals in it.
Does your house have a Styrofoam box?
@@DIYGardenIdeas Yes. But I am aware they are a fire hazard. I used them for temporary storage to protect stuff from getting wet.
Good. IDEA. Grow. Good. HETHY. Veg. Thanks
Good Afternoon
Potato and other , yup it's nice present and guide.
Thank you for your method , very helpful .
Who knew potato farming could be so exciting, right?
I assure you there's easier ways to grow potatoes.
Well, where's the fun in easy when you can have a potato adventure?
@@DIYGardenIdeas 😆 🤣
Can you give me any more ideas?@@kewlztertc5386
@DIYGardenIdeas yeah,
Step 1: let potato spud/sprout
Step 2: cut potato into segments with sprouts.
Step 3: lay plastic on ground cover with nutrient rich soil and compost to create a raised bed.
Step 4: plant potato segments.
Harvest potatoes by pulling up plastic and shifting soil.
@@kewlztertc5386sounds similar in work load
Muito ótimo suas batatas
Thank you so much for the kind words!
Parabéns pelo seu vídeo 👏
Who knew growing potatoes in foam boxes could be so exciting, right?
Quiero hacerlo 😊
Ready to grow your own potato empire, huh? 😄
you try do it now, let's go
chia sẻ rất hay
Hmmmmm... Does the foam keep the tubers from being attached to the plant when you harvest them? That's what this video shows.
That's a great observation! The foam really does help prevent the potatoes from sticking to the plant during harvest.
What's the purpose of the cement?
Hi sir, what funtion the bottle in the center box?
The bottle in the center box is actually a clever watering system to ensure the potatoes grow well!
@@DIYGardenIdeas I see..So, should water be placed in a bottle simultaneously with the watering of the potato tree?
yes sir@@Al-Fitan
@@DIYGardenIdeas Thank you sir for some explanation. I'm going to try to do as you practice it because I've done it before, but everything doesn't work out and the potatoes get damaged in the ground. I want to keep learning how to plant it well.
What is the powder substance that is used to dip the cut edge of the potato in? Quick Crete? Concrete? Or is a root innaculant?
Cement

Cement powder
Cement mulch prevents rotting in the potato set, protects it until it grows roots
Las papas mas grandes, fueron colocadas esto es falso por que ese tamaño es imposible q salga debido a q las plantas estan muy juntas y entre ellas se absorven los nutrientes las vedaderas papas que cosecho fueron las pequeñas juntas a la raiz, si notan las papas mas grandes salen sin raiz, video falso no engañes a los seguidores, soy ingeniero agronomo
Wow, thanks for the heads up! It's cool to learn about the real potato-growing secrets from a pro like you!
Was it ash you rubbed . Give us names of items . Thank . I love your videos.
Cement
yes kaka @@akahlumhelaurina1270
Ceme.nt
Good luck ❤
Good🌹🌹🌹
How does cement helps?
It prevents the set from rot, most of the old time farmers in Tasmania Australia used this method along with a dusting of super mix in on the potato sets as they were being sown in the furrows.

Hmmmm bigger potatoes have no roots? Why are they disconnected to the roots while under/inside the soil?😮
Can't the boxes be reused?
You'd think 🤔🤔🤔
This looks like they’re being reused for something… yeah?
Thank you for your question! Yes, the foam box can definitely be reused for planting.
Por q le echas semento?
It was rice husk. No seeds..
There is definitely not enough light to grow strong potato bushes. You can see the stems are super weak.
If uou ever grew potato, you know that potato will be attached to stems. Looks like they just added big potato during harvest and what actually grows is 2-3 small potatoes on each bush
The mature potatoes will detach from the parent plant so smaller ones are able to continue to mature.
Maybe the potatoes are just camera shy and prefer to hide behind the scenes!
I'm exhausted watching this video
What is the green leaf that is being rubbed on the potatoes at the beginning?
What does it do?
Its alovera leaf,use as growth hormone
Aloviera
@@baskarseeniramasamy9188 Thank you for the information.
Aloe vera. It’s a root enhancement or can be used in place of cloning gel or powder. It works really well too but was entirely unnecessary in this application. Plus please DO NOT grow any food in polystyrene as it has so many problems including it can cause cancer & rapid brain damage..
this video needs to be removed!! 😠
it is alovera . stimulating the germination of potatoes
What is the grey stuff ?
Cement 😅😮
Cement powder

I guess is experiment done by small container.. which only 5potatoes only..
Ящики жалко сломали😂😂😂
Those boxes must have been no match for the mighty potato plants! Time to upgrade to sturdier containers.
@@DIYGardenIdeas respect from Russia 👍👍👍🔥🔥🤝🤝🇷🇺🌲🐻🐯🌲🇷🇺
He should have waited for one or two more months before harvesting 😮
Maybe he's just really eager to reap the rewards!
He isn't getting all that many tubers. It looks that way because he is crowding the plants so heavily and using fertilizer when he waters.
Looks like the tubers are trying to break free from the crowd!
Do potatoes taste better right out of the soil
Absolutely, fresh potatoes straight from the ground are unbeatable!
At fourteen minutes in I’m out! Just plant em in dirt. Or if you’re going to plant them in pots, why go through all those other steps?
That’s not the root crop they just put it in the soil my goodness You guys fool yourself 😂😂😂
G😅ood
is Christmas coming then?
Cement is good for what?
cement to heal potato cuts
👍😄
love you. my friend :)
🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔
I’m sorry, I can’t help myself. Organic soil ? Is there any other kind ?
Miracle grow soil. Chemical fertilizers added vs natural composted soil that's full of microbes and nutrients.
Much better old tradition of growing potatoes..
Experiment is done by small container... and only 6 pieces..
Don't use cement! Use sulphur. Prevents rot on cut surfaces of potatoes.
Thanks for the tip! I'll give sulphur a try next time.
The aloe Vera tho
yes
Cụ nhỏ quá
***CONGRATULATIONS*** 🎶 👏🎉♥️gb😋🍠🌱🥔🌱☝️
And other countries in the world dont get rice hushkes
Any substrate will do. It's simply for air and drainage.
You can replace it with sawdust
Ваш способ выращивания не правильный! Делаю проще, - Выкапываю канавку в грунте, глубиной на штык лопаты, и шириной в два лопаты, на всю длину канавы. Бросаю на дно канавы немного сухой соломы, - Далее кладу картофель с ростками, на расстоянии около 40 сантиметров друг от друга, и раскладываю на всю длину канавки. Поперёк канавки бросаю сухие ветки от деревьев, или кустарников, а затем сверху на ветки снова бросаю солому, либо сухую траву. Сама картофель при этом не закапывается землёй, а реально лежит на земле в канавке. Картофель сам, без помощи хозяина земельного участка, формирует корневую систему и корни картофеля частично проникают в грунт, а ботва растения растёт и под ветками в канавке и над ветками. Ботва, которая находится в канавке под ветками, формирует множество Фалликулов (мелких плодов картофеля) которые получают достаточное количество кислорода для всей корневой системы растения. Плоды картофеля усиленно набирают толщину и вес, и практически через 70 - 90 дней можно собирать урожай. Плоды картофеля при этом отличного качества, ровные без гнили и болезней картофеля! Вкусовые качества отличные, картофель достаточно крупный!
Thank you for sharing your method! It's always interesting to hear different approaches to gardening.
Wow, your potato-growing method sounds so cool! I might have to give it a try in my own garden. Thanks for the tip!
This is C.A.P.
The mystery of the magical potato harvest revealed!
I prefer cage free potatoes.
Thank you for sharing your preference!
Why not saying what country his from and the actual ingredients hus using
i'm japan
Not a hope you grew that amount in them small boxs growing potatoes 3 generations in my family and i sure this is only in your imagination well done though looks like your getting the attention anyways
But do u paint um with aloe??? Weird
По стеблю видно плохой урожай и Сонлнце мало поподало
Hey, have you thought about giving those potatoes some extra sunshine? They might need a little boost to grow bigger!
Cement?! Weird 🤪
It acts just like garden lime sealing the potatoe up
Poor Harvest,Every plant should give 6-10 twist size potatoes😡
Thanks for the heads up about the harvest, I'll make sure to check on those twisty potatoes!
Horrible spindley, under nourished potato plants with a yield of tiny little seed potato quality tubers.
Video needs to be played at 2x to be watchable but this is a very poor cultivation method.
Aloe Vera step was unnecessary
Oh. it is essential, stimulating the germination of potatoes
What do you think about this method of growing potatoes?
I grew them in barrels this year but will try your method to compare. You make growing look easy. Can I ask why you put cement on the cut potato?
Я думаю способ может быть любой, но выкопан картофель рано!
The cement keeps the potatoes in place and adds a touch of sophistication to their growth process!
@@amypendragon5129
I hope that you eat all your tiny tiny weeny potatoes & get the massive health problems that come from growing food in polystyrene..
Cement??? Toxic as!!!!
😂😂this is fake clip. ...and some bunch of potatoes grew that was only bunch includes
Oh funny at the end of the video all those big taters are store bought put into the ground. That system is neat, but not that productive. Be more truthful. Just like those vids of people building swimming pools in the dessert.
Slab je prinos krompira
Sorry to hear that your potato yield is low. Have you tried using foam boxes for planting?
If you remove the fake potatoes that he’s obviously added for video purposes he hardly has more potatoes than he used to grow them. & the end bit where the😮are weighing potatoes is also fake because there’s no way those potatoes grew in those boxes. This is a total hoax & not to mention the health problems that growing any food in polystyrene has including cancer & brain damage.
Hey man this is not an good idea you need suppose to give some extra time let them to dry all the leaves and branches then only you can find a better and bigger size of potatoes🥔
Thanks for the tip! I'll keep that in mind for future videos.
Tiny tiny iddy biddy potatoes! Unless you count the ones that he added that were up to 4 to 5 times larger than the actual ones that were attached to the vines when he pulled them out
The amount of actual potatoes yielded is less than the potatoes that he used to cultivate..
unless u count the larger ones that he fraudulently added for likes and thumbs ups.. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
I ate your potatoes 🤢
and now I’m feeling cancer and brain damage 🤮
WHY?!?!
👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
