Good update!
This seems like a good idea! Splendid harvest.
It will be exciting too see how the potatoes you`ll get from the seeds will look like. So when you after some generations get a "clean" strain that grows true from seed, you`ll have an great advantage. You`ll be able to renew the "blood" of your potatoes, and by doing so, get rid of years entangled diseases on the crop.
Last year I tried do do some research about crossing potatoes.
When I read the potato types were diploid, triploid, tetraploid, hexaploid and pentaploid, -I got a little confuced. 😉
Not all strains could directly be crossed, as I understood. I didn`t go much further too learn more about this issue, because it was somehow complex stuff. If I cross strains, I`ll be crossing fingers first, hoping the potatoes are "compatible" with eachother. I should have taken more time too learn more about this.
I really like this idea Jay, super cool! I've been thinking about doing something like that but I wasn't sure how I was going to do it. Well done and great video. Thank You!
Hey Jay, ya all got some good potatoe harvest, seems like this technique gave ya good results,…yep, chilly over there, over here, its been a really rainy september, with what climate the clouded skies bring, there's also a slight chill in the air, probably on account of the rain,…take care good buddy, thumbs up and thankin' ya for the COOL Share!
Looks good. I bet the more compost you work into the clay the better it will be. Have you tried sand to help loosen up the clay? Wonder if perlite will help with clay.
Looked like it all went well Jay.. Might try planting some quinoa out in our no dig bed out the front.. Will be interesting to see how the potato seeds go too.. Cheers Jay

I bet those potatoes will be delicious.
Definitely not a bad year for potatoes for you. Great harvest!

Hi Jay, very nice potato harvest. Putting the compost on top was a good idea and it obviously worked well for you. God bless.

Good video and harvest.
