- In this video we share the full cycle of PLANTING Potatoes right through to HARVESTING 166 lbs in April and MAY. We share planting and harvesting tips on how to grow No-Dig Potatoes too.
Potatoes are one of the BEST crops you can grow for self sufficient gardening in a temperate climate and we like to maximise their food value by growing an extra EARLY crop that we harvest in May, perfectly timed as our stored Potatoes from Winter are starting to go past their best.
We are Dan & Laurie and our land is called Freedom Forest - Its 3 acres in the South of England where we are creating an edible oasis and trying to provide as much for ourselves, from our land as possible and we are completely off grid.
Our food growing journey began together in 2017 when we created our first No Dig Lasagne bed. Every year we grow more and more and now we are currently around 60-70% self sufficient in our food needs.
Our style and methods are inspired by permaculture and we try to be thoughtful about how and what we do, to be as gentle on the planet as possible.
In our videos you can follow our journey as we share our experiences and what we get up to at Freedom Forest.
We are MASSIVELY grateful that you choose to watch our Videos and support us in this way already, however, If you appreciate and get value from what we share and would like to help us a little more, you can become a Freedom Forest Patreon (link below).
It takes us about a day to film each video and another few evenings to edit it, Patreon provides a way you can support what we do with any size donation you wish, it could simply be the value of a packet of seeds! We have many projects coming up, as well as wanting to improve our videos by having a 2nd camera and maybe even a drone one day to make our videos even more detailed and better quality for you to enjoy! You can help make it viable for us to keep putting the time into making these videos by becoming a Patreon. In return your name will appear in the end credits of our videos and we'll message you a password for the 'members area' of our website where we share more of our favourite recipes exclusively for our Patreon's 💚

Hi Folks, If you can only grow Potatoes outside - we highly recommend growing 'Sarpo' Potatoes - Check out the playlist link here to see more about this disease resistant variety of Potatoes 👉 th-cam.com/play/PLOidPRQofoMOgQ9S5Re23iE0d1np_8reJ.html

Hey thanks - glad you enjoyed it. Its such a good way to utilise polytunnel space in the winter, each year our aim is to get better at using our undercover spaces to maximum on their potential and harvests. Hope all is going well with your 2 plots - did your tomatoes make it through the cold spell ok in the tunnel? ✌️🌿
