Very helpful about growing potatoes. My potatoe plants are flowering and about 2 ft. High. This is my first
year planting them. I fertilized just once in the planting of them. Eager for my son to come home from the
Service to have the fun of digging and eating them. Used Black Angus Gold Compost this year as my only
Fertilizer. So this will be a surprise — one way or another— and it helps to have faith and a senseoh humor
In the garden. Radishes were spindly and stringy; bolted almost at once. Pruned them back to see if that helps..
But it didn't. We're also very hot radishes. tms poet Ohio
Luke, great video and I appreciate the simplicity of it. I am a lifetime gardener (too many decades) and I recommend your videos & stores to everyone that asks me "how do you do that?". This year, I was given a potato as something of a joke. Now, the joke will be on them as I produce potatoes for the first time!!
Nice video to get huge potatoes
thanks, thats what Im planting right now.
How late in the season do you plant potatoes?
Also worth a mention is that potatoes like a lower Ph, similar to tomatoes, even lower. I use pine needles and gypsum to naturally lower it.
I do the exact same thing and they always come out small I never get larger ones bigger than a golf ball
Ok. Need some ideas for growing potatoes guerilla garden style.
How much sulfur? How do add to make the bed more acidic?
Love
saw the headline and thought "Oh god"
Thanks, I hope to give this a try. When do I plant ?
You’re cute bru
What happens when you have a thick, bumpy skin on potatoes?
Looking for help, I have tried potatoes twice, seem to get good amount of growth, but when I dig them up, there are holes, from small pits to basically half if the tuber gone. When I dig through the soil, all I'm seeing is the little pill bugs. Do they eat holes in potatoes?
Couldn’t find the chitting video.
My favorite potatoes to plant are, Red Pontiac, Kennebec, and Russet
how longs harvest time give or take?
Hi! I came across your video when I was searching how to mound potatoes. I only have one garden bed and it is about two thirds the size of yours. I planted potatoes in just over half the bed. Do you have any suggestions about what to grow in the rest of the bed that would make good companions for potatoes? Look forward to your suggestions. God bless. ✨
Not a potatoe questio0n but onion. If I plant the scallions I get from the grocery store, will they grow larger onions? brand new gardner, sorry.
Hi Luke, I bought 3bags of your Trifecta! Going to grow potatoes for the first time. So excited. Thank you for explaining it all so well.
I am so curious as to wether they need to be in beds?
Where's the best place, price wise, to get Trifecta Plus? Where's a good place to get sweet potato seed potato. I want to make my own plants. And do I need to use additional fertilizer after using Trifecta Plus. I'm preparing my raised bed now for Spring. Thanks.
Hey Luke, not sure if you will see this but…I live in NY, zone 7a and I had some store bought potatoes start to sprout (a few from the fridge and a few in their bags). It is November 8th..do you think I could plant them in the ground and mulch them for spring growth? I don't want them to rot but I also don't want to waste my time if they will die over the winter. I would also like to open this question to everyone as well. Thanks in advance!
Hello✋ our soil is clayey and dry and has tropical climate..
so how frequently we need to water just after sowing?
Hi Luke. Couldn’t help wondering what you had sprinkled around your onion raised bed in the potato clip.
I love this video buddy but you've made a couple of minor errors. Potatoes are Stem tubours. Implying the direction of growth for new tubours is upwards.
So hilling provides a few advantages. in theory hilling should increase yield because putting new stem growth under the soil triggers the stem to produce more tubours, although how much that improves yield is a disputed. It does however 'blanche' the top layer of Potatoes, preventing them from going green; and it's a very efficient method of weed control.
Also Chitting potatoes is as much about getting shoots started as it is hardening cut edges of clones. Try getting your whole Potatoes laid out in a cool ventilated spot for a few weeks before you intend to plant. If you can get the shoots going before it's time to plant it's like getting a 2-3 week head start which could have huge impacts on yeild.
Nothing really wrong with what you're doing tho! Love the channel just thought I'd offer another opinion!
We really like the variety you can have if you grow your own.
My wife loves the Terra Rosa variety.
I liked the purple ones, but our climate doesn't seem to favor them much.
I would like to know what perfect potato soil would test at, if one were to get a soil sample run.
Anyone know?
