I never tried potatoes in my Greenstalk. I try it this year. These green stalks are really amazing. You can really plant everything. Thank you for this video-very insightful
Fantastic video! I grow potatoes every year. Never have grown them in a vertical garden. I'll have to try it this summer. Thanks 🤗
Another great video-new gardeners can learn such valuable information from you! Thank you, friend!
My seed potatoes came up in 3 days! I am happy I re watched your potato post! Thank you as always for Sharing your experience with us all! Bless you!
Thank you so much for letting me know!
I really liked the format of this video. So many times gardening channels will plant something and forget it so you never know how they turned out. This is fascinating way to grow potatoes, it's kind of like a treasure hunt when you dump the tiers into the kiddie pool. I would think the fingerlings would be great for the greenstalk. Hmmmm I may need to rethink one of my greenstalks this year.
Thank you so much! These are very hard videos to produce, many taking over a year! I glad you appreciate them. Happy Gardening!
You’re welcome. Quality is better than quantity. I enjoy all of your content and hit play right away.
Thanks for your tips! I just got my first GreenStalk this year, on Black Friday, and they have a lid for the water reservoir at the top, so I got that too. The covers are really expensive though, $99 for each type. Might have to wait on a sale for that one.
Great video. Thanks for sharing your knowhow and experience. Much appreciated!
Thank you for sharing this video with us! We purchased a GreenStalk vertical 5 tower for the first time this year and we love it. We’re growing lettuce, kale, spinach, Zinnia flowers, and strawberries! Never thought one could grow potatoes in it!!!
Sounds great!
Great planting video! Please take us along as everything grows, very exciting.
I always love your videos! I am so excited to start gardening.
Me too!!
I did an experiment this winter...I planted up 3 containers with chitted potatoes to see if they'd grow indoors. I kept them in a sunny window, watered, fertilized, and wouldn't ya know it worked! The harvest was small and kind of pale in color, but it was enough for a small batch of potato salad 🤣🥔👍
Wonderful!
Awesome. I'm gonna try that!
Excellent video!
I learn so much from your videos. Thank you so much for sharing!
You are so welcome!
Such a great tutorial.
Thank you so much! I appreciate your support.
Thank You!
You're welcome!
Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it. subscribe for more!
I sm growing fingerling potatoes in my greenstalk. They are doing great. Should be ready for harvest next month.
Wonderful! I have some recipes on my channel for them!
@@RainbowGardens I will be sure to check that out. Thank you🤗
I just came across your channel. Wonderful information. We have 2 greenstalk planters that we are trying for the first time this year. So far so good.
P.S. can you use Perlite instead of vermiculite at the same ratio?
Small harvest because they aren't deep enough. Use the GS for other items better suited to shallow planting.
I got my Greenstalk this season after so many great videos from you (thanks!). So far so good, although next time I might need to tweak the soil mixture ratios. It's drying a little too fast for hot/dry Texas weather. But that's okay, just need to water a bit more often. I love the small footprint for the yard.
Thanks for sharing! You are probably able to grow year round in Texas? I grew spinach all through the fall, winter, and it's still thriving here in the spring, zone 6b.
@@RainbowGardens yep! You can do salad mixes pretty much all winter. Even if we do get the random frost it isn't enough to bother them. Same with carrots and other cold tolerant plants.
@@LynnDot Sounds wonderful. I started gardening in zone 8b, northeast Florida, wonderful growing weather most of the time, except for late summer! Whew!
@@RainbowGardens
Did you use fingerling _seed_ potatoes? Where does one find those?
I'd like to try growing potatoes and those fingerlings look like just the ticket for my needs. I've never seen them before!
Congrats on your new 14lb harvest!
These kinds of videos really make me want a Greenstalk! Maybe for my bday (May).
Yay! I'm a May baby too!
@@RainbowGardens
How tall is the unit when it's completed? Do you have trouble working the top tier?
Do you have recommendations for which type veggies work best top tiers to bottom?
Can you grow cantaloupe and small melons in this unit? Or is there another type container you recommend?
Edit: Great videos!
@@RainbowGardens Oh my gosh! They are having a sale for my birthday! (Ok, maybe it’s for Mother’s Day). I guess I need to get one now! No excuses! 🌱
Hi new subscriber
Why don’t we want to use the potatoes that have sprouted, please I’m a new Gardner and didn’t know this about potatoes. Thanks for sharing
I plant the potatoes when the sprouts are very short and green. When they are long and white, they are not good for planting.
Did you get 10 lbs of potatoes from one tier or 10 lbs from the whole greenstalk?
Seems like a pain in the rear to fill, stack and empty then refill and restack for potatoes then followon crops.
It's much easier than weeding and watering a regular garden. Plus, no animal damage!
can you plant them in the middle of the planter as well even though those new leaves from the original potato wont reach any sunlight?
That's a good question. I don't plant them there because, as you mentioned, potatoes love the sun. But also, I need some room for the potatoes in each pocket to expand, and the will grow into the center. I like garden experiments, so if you try it, let us know how it goes! Happy Gardening!
I am waiting on my potatoes to arrive- yay. I got 2 varieties- determinate- because they don't need to be hilled. However, what I need to know is- how many per pot? It says 12 to 18 inches per plants for spacing. I'm thinking only 2 plants per level. Any tips?
I had great results planting 1 per pocket, 6 per tier.
Can you tell me how deep each greenstalk container is?
Sure, the Original Greenstalk has 10" tall tiers and the new "Leaf" has tiers which are 7" tall. You can find the leaf on their website: lddy.no/3l75
Where do you get your compost, thank you, have a great day.
I make it and also buy some at specialty nursery centers. The big box stores do not have a good selectin of compost but I can pick up a couple of bags there too.
Looking for the bug cover
It is on presale now on their website. I think they will be in later this month. lddy.no/3l75
Did you put a seed potatoes in each pocket of every tier? If you alternated pockets did you leave those pockets empty or what were you able to plant in them? I got my first Greenstalk last week and im planting tomorrow:) Did they get any water at planting time in the pockets?
One in each pocket. If it's warm, go ahead and water your soil good. They'll be up in no time!
@@RainbowGardens is it better to plant them in top or bottom tiers. And would I do same for sweet potatoes or did you plant those any differently. Thankyou 😊🌻
First time using the Greenstalk. How deep did you plant them?
I think around 3 to 4 inches
@@RainbowGardens thank you.
Just got the Greenstalk might give this a try. QUESTION.... How do you store your potatoes. i usually store the ones from the store in a cool dry dark space like a basement. but if you have a lot of them could you store them in trash bags or would that keep to much moisture in. Maybe a big plastic bin?
No, don't store them in a plastic bag. I put them in a cool dark place, single layer with ventilation.
I love this! How many seed potatoes did you buy to for the Greenstalk? Is 1 lb enough?
I used 30 seed potatoes. I forgot how much they weighed.
Roughly how many potatoes were grown on each tier? I know you planted 1 per section of the 6 divided sections on each tier. Thank you :)
I get 4 pounds of potatoes per tier, planted one potato per pocket, when I grow the smaller varieties. Here's a video which should help: th-cam.com/video/vE6iUT3rmEg/w-d-xo.html
@@RainbowGardens Thank you! What a fun thing to grow in them!
You can just use your own potatoes as seed potatoes year after year, buy once!
You sure can! Just have to store them properly so they do not over sprout before the next season.
Not advisable. Just use stem cuttings. Saves you 2 months trying to grow a 3-inch seedling.
Too michntime wasted in showing the sign or writings!:(
Will not watch your video again… EVER
This is a man…ha! So obvious
Seriously? That's very funny....
