I've never tried this before, but I'm seeing if I can plant potatoes and let them grow in a pot instead of in a garden bed. Who knows! Video Rating: 4 / 5
I put sticks in my pots. Small problem, cat plays with sticks, pulls them
out and pees in the containers. Now I spray the outside of the containers
with vinegar. Seems to help 🙂
My cat has not bothered the gourd pots. I`m very happy about that!
@kokonutbaby1 yeah you over-watered,potatoes are durable and dont need much
of anything
Nice video. I once discovered very small potatoes growing inside my compost
bin when I was digging it out in the spring. I was so excited. Gathered
them up & took them to show my 94 yr old mother our “Irish pataters”. Left
them at her doorstep & went back to shovelling & distr. the compost. When I
came back – the potatoes were gone…my mother had steamed them up & ate
them !!! Thks for sharing your technique !
Did you post a finale to this? I just tooth-picked and placed the potato
halves into cups, but, when I returned to my computer, I failed to find
your concluding video!?!? I’d like to see how they came out in the end.
Do not place the potatoes in water and light because this turns them green
and green potatoes are poisonous to us if eaten I’ve just been told. Place
your seedlings in a brown paper bag and keep in a cool dark cupboard and
check on them once a week until they have sprouted enough new shoots pot
up. The seedling potatoes need at least 3 shoots each, so if the seeds have
6 shoots or more cut them in half and make 2 seedlings, the cut will dry up
after about 24hrs and then place in a paper bag.
The potatoes grow from the sides of the shoots that grow from the seeds, so
as the plant growth grows upward lots of potatoes grow from the sides of
this plant growth causing lots more to grow as you add more compost to the
sack. Placing potatoes only 4 inches from the top of the bucket leaves no
room for potatoes to grow because they cannot grow below the seed potatoes,
it works great for me, I expect 30 to 40 good sized baking potatoes from a
100ltr sack. Use only fresh good quality compost.
so does it take 3 months or longer to grow a mature potatoe? I got a late
start in spring, around end of May so this is mid July and i checked on
some in container where plants looked like dying and the spuds were small
and some very tiny and i think one had rotted cuz it was gooey and smelled
bad…am wondering if i am watering too much also..i do it once a day but
its been hot here in arkansas so far this summer 90s F.
Hi Caramia, Glad you like it. Jerry
I must admit though Jerry, I like the way you start your potatoes and will
try it my self, Thanks for another great video.
Please watch my video and offer as much advise or tips that you can. I
really love your videos and I think you are a Fantastic gardener!! Please
leave me a comment.. Thanks
You’re welcome!
u need to plant them at the bottom of the pot and soil up as they
sprout…youll get a lot more potatoes
Small pot for the 2 potatoes,even for just one,but better that nothing,nice
idea but have a beeter one.Just let the chosen potato sit in a open paper
bag and they will start the bud and once they start to schrivel just divide
up the potato with one or 2 buds Let the cuts dry for a few days and they
will be ready for planting.
It took about a week.
Love your video. Thanks
Hi, Funny story. Thanks for writing. Jerry
I had a bag of potatoes that sat in a bag for a couple of moths. They have
growth everywhere. I just planted them. Thanks for the tips!
thanks for the tips.! 🙂
Thanks for the info! Jerry
Hi, I tried the bag procedure, but have had faster and better luck doing it
this way. Whatever works for you. Thanks for sharing! Jerry
Thanks you for sharing. I have the some 7gal pots from teh hydroponics
store for $1.80 . The potatoes are spouting nicely in a warm cardboard box
thnks to your info . =D
why are you putting them in water? Just put them in a paper bag and keep
them in the dark…they will sprout…also plant them in the bottom of the
container covered by the dirt and as they emerge and grow 2-4 inches…add
more dirt and that way you will get more potatoes by the time the leaves
are above the container. Its called hilling…this is kids stuff.
Hi Sarah- watched the vid and wondering about the length of the growing
season. Seemed quite a long time? Didn’t you get produce in 3 months?
pco636 you are right about green potatoes, only if eaten , this gentleman
is not eating them , he is using them has seed potatoes
this is the way you grow sweet potatoes, not regular ones
you’d have more potatoes if you started them at the bottom of the bucket
