We had hundreds of questions and comments on how we would keep our
harvest fresh for the winter and early spring months. In this episode I
will show you how we do that, and the steps to curing the harvest
properly since that is the first and most critical step.
Here are the burlap bags we got: http://amzn.to/2cYqJsS

Stop blabbing. Our ancestors didn't use fans.
as you were saying "You don't want to wash them." I was reminded that five minutes earlier I washed my potatoes.
Very helpful. Preparing for the upcoming growing season and want to successfully store onions and potatoes this year.
Too slow gotta go
If you were to buy potatoes and onions in bulk from a farm would they be cured?
Do you have to cure it before safe eating or is it just for long storing purposes? What other veg has to be cured?
Can you use the humidity gauge that requested for a garbage can root cellar? Do you have any recommendations? Thanks
What about a root cellar? seen one built into a large mound of dirt. It happened to contain bushels of apples.
Excellent video just the right length. I just dug up my experimental potatoes from my grow bag and wanted to know how to cure them. You seem to have done it in a spare room vs. a basement. Since i don’t have a basement, can i do that as well?
Where do you store them when drying them out In the basement or under the house?
i want to be successful farmers after return to my country
InsyaAllah
So I guess this won't work for store bought potatoes since they are already washed??
Ops i washed mine. Well good to know for next harvest
Ty for the video
Fantastic. Thank you
Do you have to cure potatoes? I harvested mine and they were really small and I just put them in my kitchen on the counter for a few weeks now and I haven’t eaten any. I have no idea the average temperature they’ve been in so now I’m nervous
Wow I live in Texas. 55 degrees in maybe a week in the winter. Summer is 105 on a good day…
Potato farmers leave them in the ground for two weeks after the vines are dead. This sets the skins so they are not so thin and delicate. I clip the vines off two weeks before I want to harvest them.
You almost have a million subs, and you only get 50,000 views per vid?
25-30% humidity in AZ? Hmmmm…temp inside house controllable, but humidity? Eek! It’s May 26, 2021 and outside humidity is 13% and indoors is 14%… recommendations?
So you cut the necks before you dried or after??
He look drunk or hungover lol or high idn which one but his skin is so flushed I wouldn’t trust nothing he says cus he doesn’t even look healthy and it is known proven facts to not store onion near potatoes bcus the potatoes will sprout
I knew you'd have the answer! Thanks for everything Luke. You actually inspired me to write a book!
I'm so glad you share all your knowledge. your my go to channel for everything regarding my garden. Thanks man
Is it OK if you cure potatoes and onions together in the same room? Because I heard that the gases from one could make the other rot?
30% humidity for potatoes? I thought potatoes needed to be stored at 95%?
If you ran a fan on them continuously for 2 weeks… You could probably buy them cheaper than the price of the electricity it took. I'm just saying.
I LIVE IN A VERY HOT CLIMATE SO IM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO. I LL BUY SOME PLASTIC VEG RACKS I THINK BUT KEEP MY ONIONS AND POTATOES ON A SEPERATE SHELF.
What would you suggest in Florida for storing potatoes and onions root sellers are not really common here
I am a little confused about how you cure potatoes. Do you lay them on the tarp too? If so, wouldn't the light affect them negatively?
