How We Plant Potatoes Using the Ruth Stout Method | Deep Mulch Gardening | Guten Yardening
In this video, we show you what we are planting and how to plant in our Ruth Stout bed.

This season marks the second season where we are growing potatoes in our modified Ruth Stout hay bed.

Last season was our first attempt at Ruth Stout gardening, and the potatoes we grew (Yukon Gold and Norland Red) were successful, but there were not as many as we would have liked.

We believe that each year, the decomposing hay is going to improve, and that should mean that this year’s planting should result in even more potatoes than the previous year.

This year, we planted three new to us varieties, Red Lasoda potatoes, Mega-Chip Kennebec Potatoes, and Yellow Finn potatoes. Each of these are mid-season potatoes that should take about 100 days to harvest.

We are so excited to see what a difference a year makes with our Ruth Stout bed, and to follow the progress of these potatoes.

Thanks for watching.

Looking forward to seeing the progress. Another channel I've watched is Wayland Smalley and he follows the Ruth Stout method with great results. The more different gardening methods I see the more I want to try. My next step is to talk my wife into selling our suburban home w/a small yard and buy something in the country. Of course that would also mean that I'd have to quit my job to tend to all the chickens and gardening chores which in turn means she'd have to get a second job.

I have access to chopped straw. Is there any advantage to using that over long straw?
