HGV Grow Potatoes How to speed up the chitting process in seed potatoes experiment start to finish.

This short video shows how it's done from start to finish. From no chits to lots of chits in just 2 weeks! See the Before and see the After. It's something you may want to try with your potato's, it worked for me. RECOMMENDED I have now produced a number of videos that show vegetables being sown, being grown and harvested, the whole story. I have prefixed / suffixed them with: 'HGV How to start to finish'. THERE ARE LOTS OF LINKS BELOW THAT WILL TAKE YOU TOO THE VIDEO THAT YOU WANT TO WATCH.

Cheers again, with your tips this will be my year.

How awesome! I just ran out back with a flashlight and filled up some buckets with my homemade compost and put potatoes in to chit them. Google has nothing on you friend, I love learning from your experiments, thank you!

I've found that putting potatoes in the fridge for a couple of weeks, get them out and store them at room temperature and they will sprout, I think the fridge temperature makes the chemicals or hormones or whatever a potato has go into winter mode so once back in warmer temperatures their chemicals or hormones think it's spring 😉

Last year I ordered some seed potatoes planted them the same day and they grew I had loads of spuds. I never knew you were meant to keep them for a while before planting opps I must have just got lucky. My dad used to plant potato skins with the chits on them and they used to grow, I remember him going through my mums potato peelings. Ive not tried that but I remember it worked

[donaldduke]

Great video. Thanks for sharing it. I learned a lot. What I learned from this video is that if you just plant your potatoes they will grow chits which are just roots and they will sprout and spread and produce more potatoes so there is only one reason I see to chit your potatoes - if you don't have enough potatoes and plan to cut them and plant the pieces.

Wow!! What an amazing chitting methods! Makes great sense! Thanks so much! Molly gave me a chuckle when she barked! Lol

[cazee]

That's Molly saying "come on dad, get 'em grown so I can eat them!" Great video. My chits are also from shop bought for eating and they were in the dark and forgotten about. When I remembered them they are ready to plant now, can't wait. Love your vids, so much info and easy to understand. Plus get to see Molly!

[rosewood]

I buy organic potatoes from the grocer and they always grow... Now you got me growing in egg cartons That is a great idea Jim thank you.... Nice air flow...

[mikerevendale]

Wow! That's great! Thanks! I guess I can plant my fall potatoes in hills without waiting for the to sprout first.

[davidward]

I've just started a allotment so need all the help I can get, these videos are ideal for me being a first time gardener.? the instructions are very clear and precise and I like it when things don't work out as that's probably what will happen to me, thank you. D

[jcproject]

Thank you for posting your experiment. I'm going to do that too instead of waiting for the potato to chit on the egg tray.
