If you start the sprouted potatoes at the bottom of the bucket with only a small amount of soil...then as the green tops grow up, you put some more soil in. So only a a bit of the greens showing.. keep doing that as the greens grow higher and higher.. then yes harvest when greens dry off.. you will get 3 times MORE potatoes 😁👍👍👍much love from Christchurch NewZealand 🌸

When I was a UN Peacekeeper in East Timor in my spare time I taught our local employee how to grow potatoes in old car tyres, You start the same way as shown here but as the potato starts to grow taller you put another tyre on and put in more dirt. We got to about 4 tyres high then let them grow. It produced a good supply. I taught our employee and told him to teach his neighbours in his village. I also taught him to make liquid fertiliser by soaking a bucket of cow and pig droppings in water for a week and then using the liquid. And I taught how to make compost. The country is one of the poorest in the world and people can't afford fertiliser so I hoped to impart some basic knowledge to help them feed their families.

After harvesting, don't wash the potatoes. It shortens the shelf life of the potatoes. Store them a cool, dark place and wash them as you use them.

Harvesting potatoes that way must be the most satisfying thing ever.

I love this set up. No kneeling or bending involved and a method that can be used over and over. Thank you!

The taste of home grown potatoes cooked right after harvesting is very, very good. You can really taste the freshness compared to store bought.

My friend's grand mother used to do this with olf tires, Lay out a tire, fill with soil, plant your starter potatoes. Once the spouts get to a foot tall, add another tire and fill with more soil. By the end of the season she would have 5 or 6 tires stacked and filled with tators! Then just pull a tire off as needed. the rest you just pull out, leave them dirty, and put in a cool place with no light. Growing in a basement with a southern window does work as well. I did that myself in Wisconsin and it was wonderful to have fresh tators all winter.

Wow! Where have been all my life. In the mid 1990s, I was practicing home grown urban vegetables with my children, but never knew this methodology with potatoes. Thank you so much for your tutoring.

I bought some round bags lined from Wilkos years ago
They have handles and with a small backyard, grew some amazing potatoes
It was easy just had to water them.
I even put in another bah, runner beans
Again, great success but fed them with comfrey
I grew tomatoes, herbs, rhubarb etc in a small space
Not a lot, no land, but did what I could
The taste of said produce was good

There is nothing like having home grown potatoes. Last year I was able to grow some potatoes in a cardboard box. By the time I was ready to harvest them the box was almost fallen apart but it was still strong enough to hold the dirt and potatoes inside. Then when I was done I just composted the box into one of my raised beds.

I have not tried doing potatoes, but this is so satisfying that I have to try! I’ve seen a lot of people that do the potatoes in boxes or some type of contraption made to wear when the potatoes are ready you just open it and boom they all fall out. It’s just so cool and satisfying.

I am new to gardening and appreciate all of these videos and appreciate those that take time to make them. Where do you get coal? What does the rice and banana do and can you use that mixture on plants like tomato, bell peppers, green beans etc...

The more eyes/shoots you leave on the potatoes the more potatoes are produced, however, they're always small.
This I do with my first (Earlies) crop and I harvest them late May to early June. These I use in salads.

My second, harvested in late July to early August and third harvest, Sept - Jan, (Mains) I take off all but two eyes, which produces much larger potatoes.

Think of the seed potato as a battery and the shoots as appliances. The more appliances the quicker the battery becomes drained.

Potatoes, homegrown are so tasty. I have a "green living" crop of last year's swiss chard which has seeded itself in the raised bed where I have planted my potatoes. Both crops have grown in empathy with one another. A beneficial growing method for potato and chard and two veggies for my tummy to enjoy😊

Have you ever tried putting just a small amount of soil plant potatoes. Then as the get taller keep adding soil not covering the top of the plant . Once they reach the top of the bucket they will keep growing tell flowers. This way your yield will be higher .
