Today we take our seed potato sections from a previous video and plant them in our buckets! I’m using 5 gallon buckets from Ace Hardware, but you can use whatever container you’ve got lying around the house.
I mixed up some compost, peat moss, and perlite, along with a handful of worm castings for the soil mix. After laying down 4″ of soil, I placed two seed potato chunks down and covered up with 6″ of soil, then watered it in.

Does it matter so much in Florida if potatoes or other veggies are “in season” because of our consistent climate?
Does the color of the bucket matter? Do black buckets get too hot from the sun?
I'm just really trying to find out how to store the potatoes after cut so they harden off. Store in dark and cool? Is it ok if it gets some light? How long do they take to scan over? Thanks!
how much water u give the plants and u have holes in the bottom of the bucket?
Isn't this the method for Indeterminate potatoes, NOT for determinate potatoes?
Does anyone have a suggestion for peat moss and perilite brands? I am afraid of using things that don’t clearly say it can be used for vegetables like Miracle Grow brands
I was always unhappy with the results of growing potatoes in buckets and containers, they never got very big and just didn't seem to produce very well over all
Put them in the ground if you can
how did you become not chinese?
So did these not grow?? I dont see a follow up video.
Never saw a follow up video how'd the potatoes turn out did it work?
WOW WOW WOWWWW… TFS Be Blessed
Love this channel. Not only am I learning from Kevin but from all the amazing comments. Thank you so much!
Your videos are soooo helpful and informative!!
That drawing and explanation really helped a first timer like me.<3
I'd like to reccomend growing taters in a bucket. I planted some in the ground and some in buckets this year. The last month it has rained almost every day and the ditch off of my property is blocked up so its flooded my garden. I had to pull my potatoes early and some were already rotten. The plants in the buckets are fine.
Best demonstration ever…
It gives me a full understanding of what I need to know.
Thank you.
How long does it generally take for them potatoes to grown and ready for harvest in a 5 gallon bucket? Thank you for the drawing, it helps a lot to understand. Did you call them sweet potatoes?
So Blessed be Allah The Best of creators 23:14 Qur'an
If you have too many seed potatoes can you save them? They are already sprouting.
Can you please make a seed to harvest video of Sweet potato? Please please please?
The drawings on the side of the bucket REALLY helped/helps a LOT !!! Thank you for your detailed explanation always !!!
Aqq
Very informative video. keep it up.
I have noticed brown patches on my potato leaf which I have planted in bucket. What could be the reason?
What if plant is growing but no flower bloom?
Why the overhead lights, are they for photos or to stimulate eye and shoot development?
You demonstrate so well ,love it !
Cant believe i haven’t subscribed a long time ago sheesh
I take it these did not do so well since I can't find the second part!
I really wish you are my crew if there was ever a zombie apocalypse
I've seen a couple of these 5 gallon bucket potato grow things, ya'll know 5 gallon normal growing pots are a lot cheaper right?
