Growing Potatoes Indoors. Why not? The long-awaited Part 2 of the 3-part series where we take regular grocery store potatoes, sprout them, and plant them under grow lights indoors.
We’re doing all that in this episode, PLUS we are building the best indoor, customizable potato growing bed that has ever existed, LOL! Join in on the fun as we try to figure out whether or not growing potatoes indoors is a good idea, or at least economically feasible! 🙂

This is such an exciting experiment!! Adding the front wall as you hill…brilliant! Wishing you lots of success!!
Probably could of done chicken wire on the bottom with weed fabric on top to keep the soil in. Also would be cool to have some type of door on bottom. You could haverst and not bother what's growing above it.
The indoor container is brilliant. Thanks for sharing.
This is a cool project. I've never seen someone grow potatoes under lights before
Why not just use pots?
waaaaaaaa I want to see the awesome results now! 🙂
Man I forgot about this one! Now I am excited to see how this goes again 🙂 Thanks
i watch a ton of gardening videos from a variety of people, i find your information the most relatable. the way you present information has helped me tremendously. thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us in an easy to digest way!
What is the end game? Indoor commercial growing like tomato? Where are we going with this? This is genius. This could end world hunger. We could teach this in prisons. Inmates could have a 2nd chance at life after parole, with a nonprofit indoor potato farm.
I call this potting up business – "fast starting" the potato plants.
Potatoes are maybe the least demanding of all plants one can grow. Temperature within proper ranges is perhaps their single real "need"

As I understand potatoes, only indeterminate varieties need hilling. Determinate varieties do not. Is this correct?
Hi Jeff, love your videos they’re so informative, and enjoyable. You do a wonderful job explaining how, when and why you do thing the way you garden. Thanks keep up the great work.
Why don't you use just growing bags? just the way as Tony o Neill do from simplify gardening?
Good information as always. I need to get my "Carpenter" to make me another raised bed for all the potatoes I have!! Keep those videos coming. I am guessing you are from somewhere in Canada? No. Calif. here.
Thank you. Will be looking for part 1 as missed it.

What is the tool you are using to scrape the dirt?
HOW do you produce so much great content! I'm shocked with your quality and productivity. Great job!
Potatoes! That's my number one producing crop! I can't harvest watermelon but I can harvest several hundred pounds of taters.
I’m fairly new to gardening. I wonder why you aren’t trying the bucket method but indoors? I’m thinking of trying that but am I missing something? Could that work?
I've got to try this! Great video as always Jeff!
Hi Jeff, fun and interesting to see u cut and build a home for the potatoes. Please, show us some building projects for the plants; can´t wait! This aspect is crucial, so please show us! It´s also fun to see how other people are doing it. I do also build stuff for my garden, the conservatory and also in my home; yes I am a woman, but it´s still fun, done it all my life… The concrete part of stuff adds quality to life, doesnt it!
I have never thought of growing potatoes indoors. I was thinking my grow tent might work well for such a project.
I REALLY like your potato bed build!!! I just wish I had that kind of woodwork skill.
I might give it a try. Thank you for sharing this.
I like your videos
Is it possible to do this in a grow bag? I don’t have access to wood working tools. How would I go about growing them in a bag?
I also can’t make my own compost. Do you know of a good preferably affordable brand? I will also probably use peat moss as it’s more easily accessible.
