Useful tips on growing potatoes this is my first time growing them. I used kitchen potatoes that were growing shoots and planted out in a large pot. Potatoes now growing for about two months…lots of leaves at the top it’s a good idea to keep a note of the date planted 😀

Those baskets are great mate. I learned building up wasn't required in buckets when last year I got lazy and just topped them and had same crop size. I built up because my grandfather did.

In buckets it doesn't matter, in the ground it makes sense if there's danger of frost or if the potatoes start popping out, so to stop them from going green

You're spot on about the control aspect of buckets, I get the same control in our raised beds at the plot. Enjoy your harvest when it comes, nice one mate!

What a treat. Straight forward information, and practical advice. I found your article in my gardening magazine, and was very impressed with the kitchen sink idea! I’ve just taken over the gardening from my husband who can’t get around much now, and I’m still learning of course. The most important bit was when you said I didn’t have to earth up the potato’s! I’m trying my hand at tomatoes and potato’s this year, so thanks so much.

Hi Ann, glad you liked the article, I write for that magazine each month. Sorry to hear about your husband, it must be hard for him. The main reasons to earth up potatoes is to protect them from frost and to stop any potatoes growing at the surface from turning green

New to your channel. No clue how I got here but happy. LOL. Planning to start next week for fall harvest. Will use organic potatoes (only to ensure sprouting - I'm not obsessed with organic even though that's what I wind up doing) and buckets, but will swath each bucket in shade cloth. This is a very hot climate until mid to late October. Never did frost last year. So I do have to control for our heat for the next few months. I love how clearly and concisely you presented this.

Nice video. Do you not add any fertiliser though? I use 30L bags for maincrop potatoes and just grow Sarpo Mira now. Always a varied crop, not always good. What do you get from a main crop bucket just using homemade compost if you don't mnd me asking?

Salam brother, unfortunately I missed the timing last year for potatos (couldn't find seeds being sold) but time flies and we're coming to the season again so I am just preparing! 1. I see you have planted the first earlies here in two layers - to confirm, did you do that for your first earlies/main crop? Just checking as I can only find seed potatos as 1kg minimum so trying not to waste them 2. Bit of a noddy question but I understand seed potatos are potentially posionous. When I eventually harvest how am I supposed to know which one was the seed potato so I make sure I don't harvest that? When I do harvest potatos, can they be washed and cooked/used immediately or should they be brushed/stored first? 3. As I can afford a little more to optimise the potato results, would you recommend fertiliser and if so, when and which one would work? I appreciate we can't use fish, blood and bone for edibles 4. I have cats at home and I have a feeling they will play around with the potatos if left indoors on a windowsill. Can they be left outside on the windowsill in the garden to chit or is that not advisable? Thanks again
