If you start the sprouted potatoes at the bottom of the bucket with only a small amount of soil...then as the green tops grow up, you put some more soil in. So only a a bit of the greens showing.. keep doing that as the greens grow higher and higher.. then yes harvest when greens dry off.. you will get 3 times MORE potatoes 😁👍👍👍much love from Christchurch NewZealand 🌸
Thanks for your experience, how many kilos of potatoes did you harvest
Make sure you use the right potato for that method. Potatoes are determinate and indeterminate like their cousin the Tomato. Indeterminate you "hill" determinate you don't.
That is only true if you are growing an indeterminate variety of potatoes. If you are growing a determinate variety then you would be wasting your time as determinate varieties only grow one layer of taters. You really need to know whether your potato is determinate or indeterminate variety. Very much like tomatoes. Indeterminates will grow all season long while determinates are ready to harvest all around the same time.
For those not in NZ - we have pretty much no determinate varieties here in New Zealand (Ref.TuiGarden). We do, however, have a huge kiwi culture of growing mountains of potatoes in our back yards as if our lives depend on it. :D If a Mainlander (Sth Islander) says they're growing a "lot" of potatoes, don't bother asking them to weigh their yeild .... it's a lot.
Yeah, called “hilling”.
After harvesting, don't wash the potatoes. It shortens the shelf life of the potatoes. Store them a cool, dark place and wash them as you use them.
Great hint
Genius 😮😅
@@user-yw5jd7by9g I imagine self-preserving microorganisms in that little bit of dirt💧🌱🗝
Yes! I learned that the hard way. Great tip.
I used to follow this tip but I always end up with flies coming from the bag & spoiling the potatoes, within 5 days. 🤢 NOW I rinse them off & put in the fridge, it lasts longer than a month... London life lol
When I was a UN Peacekeeper in East Timor in my spare time I taught our local employee how to grow potatoes in old car tyres, You start the same way as shown here but as the potato starts to grow taller you put another tyre on and put in more dirt. We got to about 4 tyres high then let them grow. It produced a good supply. I taught our employee and told him to teach his neighbours in his village. I also taught him to make liquid fertiliser by soaking a bucket of cow and pig droppings in water for a week and then using the liquid. And I taught how to make compost. The country is one of the poorest in the world and people can't afford fertiliser so I hoped to impart some basic knowledge to help them feed their families.
Where you learn all this? Do you have a channel? Thanks😊

The taste of home grown potatoes cooked right after harvesting is very, very good. You can really taste the freshness compared to store bought.
I can attest to this, grew my first ones this year and the flavor is actually noticeably better!

Harvesting potatoes that way must be the most satisfying thing ever.
I love this set up. No kneeling or bending involved and a method that can be used over and over. Thank you!
thank you, can you help me share this video with your friends?
@@Johngarden Yes, of course I can :-) Could I ask a question please? Is it best to buy seed potatoes for this garden? Some people say they use the kind from the supermarkets but I have also heard this is incorrect.
Yeah, anything to save on the back in garden! Only issue I have is the yield seems very low. 6/7 potato’s from 3/4 planted. I wonder if bigger pots would help with greater numbers.
@@matthewkendall1861 Absolutely. I think the bucket idea is good for people with limited space but if you have a bit of backyard why not go bigger? Just keep it raised.
@@leedrury3435 I leave the fruits and veggies I pick on the regular for my raised beds. The potatoes unfortunately still get the ground space as I usually just harvest them all at once.
Have you ever tried putting just a small amount of soil plant potatoes. Then as the get taller keep adding soil not covering the top of the plant . Once they reach the top of the bucket they will keep growing tell flowers. This way your yield will be higher .
i will try, thanks for your opinion
Depends what type of potato.
This species grows on one level, by the looks of it, so planting by the same method you and I use will still result in just one layer of potatoes.
Like you, I put in two inches of soil, put the potatoes in and cover them with two inches of soil. I let the shoots grow four inches tall and cover them in four inches of soil and a carry on doing that, each time the shoots grow a further four inches, until the soil is an inch below the rim of the container.
These potatoes look like early variety new potatoes, which I normally harvest late May, early June.
@@billyandrew yes only indeterminate varieties will grow more as soil is heaped up, these appear to be determinate
Thanks for sharing
@@5801160052086 how can you tell the difference between determinate and indeterminate?
Plants are amazing. The producers in nature. Much respect for plants . Plants are amazing. The producers in nature. Much respect for plants .
you should explain what you are doing;
why do you put coal in the bottom?
why phosphate?
how many potatos per bucket did you plant?
why did you cut some out when they sprouted?
whats with the rice and bananas?
how often do you water?
looks like you grew 10 per bucket, isnt it cheaper to go to the store
ikr, this drives me nuts!
Autism
I don't know much but can answer a few
Adding coal, don't know but it might be for nutrition purposes
Phosphate as a fertilizer
There should be 6-8 inches distance between each potato you sow. So it would be 1-2 max potatoes in one bucket
Cutting sprouts, so max nutrition is given to the potatoes, it will save energy of plant and will give more nutrition to the potatoes, and eventually result in bigger potatoes
So about watering the potatoes. Potatoes love water to check do this trick, check the soil 2 inches deep, if it feel moist so don't need to give water and if it's dry give it water and then double check it to make sure that soil is fully moist
Rice and banana, don't know maybe for nutritional purposes🤔😂
Oh 1 more thing,
While flowering, sometimes when you don't prune early it grows potatoes berries type of thingy on flowering part, don't eat them most of them must be poisonous
Make sure to prune flowering part it will help growing potatoes more
Try growing in soil bed instead of growing bags or bucket, it will give more bigger sized potatoes
Wow! Where have been all my life. In the mid 1990s, I was practicing home grown urban vegetables with my children, but never knew this methodology with potatoes. Thank you so much for your tutoring.
Try growing potatoes with this method at home, and let me know the results
So this a whole new Craft of growing?
❤
Have a nice day@@MoisesJrMacias-ji8sj
Thanks for your 'tubering'...........
There is nothing like having home grown potatoes. Last year I was able to grow some potatoes in a cardboard box. By the time I was ready to harvest them the box was almost fallen apart but it was still strong enough to hold the dirt and potatoes inside. Then when I was done I just composted the box into one of my raised beds.
Don't use cardboard, you should plant potatoes in plastic containers
What about planting them on bags?
You can put chicken wire around your boxes to hold them together
@@justice4dalton Good ideas @jimbox114
@@Johngarden why not use cardboard boxes?
I bought some round bags lined from Wilkos years ago
They have handles and with a small backyard, grew some amazing potatoes
It was easy just had to water them.
I even put in another bah, runner beans
Again, great success but fed them with comfrey
I grew tomatoes, herbs, rhubarb etc in a small space
Not a lot, no land, but did what I could
The taste of said produce was good
If you cut the seed potatoes you get more plants. Just leave at least one eye ( sprout on each cut piece.
AWESOME Just sent this to my brother-in-law this would be a great addition to his garden. Glad I found your video.
The more eyes/shoots you leave on the potatoes the more potatoes are produced, however, they're always small.
This I do with my first (Earlies) crop and I harvest them late May to early June. These I use in salads.
My second, harvested in late July to early August and third harvest, Sept - Jan, (Mains) I take off all but two eyes, which produces much larger potatoes.
Think of the seed potato as a battery and the shoots as appliances. The more appliances the quicker the battery becomes drained.
How many kilograms is your potato harvest?
excellent comment pal!
We've just planted our potatoes-- very short season-- and I leave 2-3 eyes for bigger spuds, yum!
Hi John. I get between, say eight and twelve kg per 30 litre tub.
I went peat-free a few years ago and the yield dropped dramatically, but recovered, after I began using fermented nettles as my main feed, once they've been given their usual fish and bonemeal start.
@@Johngarden 7:52
So my grandma was right. You wait til the plant goes yellow and dies to harvest the potatoes. I thought she was crazy but this video proves her right.
Absolutely perfect method! It's amazing indeed. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching, can you help me share it?
Hello everyone, who love farming ❤❤❤
Me,I love farming
They could have yielded more if you had placed them deeper in the soil initially. They would have produced along the whole length from (6 inches) down, to the point of emerging out of the soil. Then they would have continued above the soil where you would cover with extra mound.
so right
Great tip...year round..it says...but how do potatoes survive in these buckets in the cold an snow here in Michigan? 😊ty
@@conniefuller7370ohio here... I wonder the same
Only if they are an indeterminate variety - determinate varieties yield all at the same time - whereas indeterminate continue to produce (as with tomatoes) - hence the need for 'hilling' up and beyond
Also, in cold zones you will need a heated greenhouse/solarium to 'grow all year around'
I wish people would include what zones/regions they are growing plants in so others don't waste their time thinking they can do exactly the same thing at the same time of year or all year round to find out it didn't work and they wasted so much time effort & money.
Correct! That's the first thing I saw.......wasted a lot of room for the new potatoes below the seed potato. People don't realize they grow from the seed potato up, not down below.
THIS SET UP IS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!! Thank you for sharing and God bless!!
Good method of growing potatoes
haha
I love ur channel
Ive grown potatoes in containers for the past 4 years. Really works out well.
How many potatoes have you harvested?
@@Johngarden I only use 5 containers and get maybe 10 or so out of each one. They aren't large, the size of a chicken egg or a bit larger.
When the potatoes are small, you should add organic fertilizer to make the tubers more nutritious@@geod3589
Did you use the white stuff that's recommended in Garden's video to grow the potatoes?
yes@@jjk1894
Wow! Pretty nice harvest! I think I will give it a go myself. 😊
واہ واہ زبردست بہت زیادہ اچھے ۔ ❤❤❤
Wonderful video, thanks for sharing your Wisdom with us! God Bless you!
I am new to gardening and appreciate all of these videos and appreciate those that take time to make them. Where do you get coal? What does the rice and banana do and can you use that mixture on plants like tomato, bell peppers, green beans etc...
banana has potassium which is important for tuber development
Never seen coal like that. Is it burned already so that actually it is coal ash?
so right@@metsrus
Charcoal to drain the soil, to prevent the potatoes from rotting@@thriverprivate3383
@@Johngarden Thanks for the clarity on the coal question. Just noticed that it is not dark? What coal is this?
From Tanzania ... Kazi Nzuriiiii 🥰
I have not tried doing potatoes, but this is so satisfying that I have to try! I’ve seen a lot of people that do the potatoes in boxes or some type of contraption made to wear when the potatoes are ready you just open it and boom they all fall out. It’s just so cool and satisfying.
😅❤
Grew a bag of potatoes with a bag of potatoes ,only took 6 months
Aka you dead by now
Lol😂
Potatoes, homegrown are so tasty. I have a "green living" crop of last year's swiss chard which has seeded itself in the raised bed where I have planted my potatoes. Both crops have grown in empathy with one another. A beneficial growing method for potato and chard and two veggies for my tummy to enjoy😊
Potatoes wow is good ❤
You can only grow potatoes all year round if you have light and warmth, so it depends on you climate zone or technical equipment. there are some potato sorts who grow slowly during cold times (early potatoes).
Can you grow potatoes in a greenhouse this winter?
@@Johngarden you can plant potatoes in winter in greenhouse (or deep enough so that the potatoes do not freeze) to have an earlier harvest in early summer. but for harvest in winter or spring you would need a greenhouse warm enough so that the soil is not frozen (well above 0°C) and enough sun or grow light. this all depends on where you live on earth or if energy is very cheap. most countries import or use stored vegetables during winter. - Everyone who is growing his own food has my respect. Much joy and a good harvest!
yeah the title is misleading
In Ireland here,,,never grew anything or have knowledge of it,,,can I plant potatoes now in January or is it too cold?
@@rasher6290too cold if you have no greenhouse and if your soil is frozen, wait for mid April and also look out for gardening channels/books or ask the older people. It really is joyful to see your own plants grow. Good luck.
K. Thank you for the good tip. Hope my effort is worth it. Traditionally Good Friday is when to start planting potatoes.
This concept is fantastic, it's a great blueprint and you can get creative with the esthetics by painting the frame and the buckets .
This was fun to watch - I can't wait to start growing my own potatoes - thank you for sharing :)
Homegrown potatoes must be delicious

The harvest is bountiful this year
Good job 👍
thank for watching!
Wooow 4 potatoes planted, 5 harvested. Goood job!
kakaka
My thoughts exactly.
Im starting a garden at my house to grow food. Im going to try this method. Im also going to buy a large freezer to store cooked veggies.
Refreshing and satisfying
Love your bucket setup!
Question: what is the purpose of pruning the green shoots with scissors?
avoid diseases from soil i think
pruning shoots, leaving only 2 to 3 buds, the new potatoes will be big and fast for tubers.
The less shoots, the faster they grow. The plant has limited resources. In the initial stage, it's better to let a few main shoots grow tall and strong and then top the container with soil. Also, shoots that are close to the soil are more prone to fungal infection
তুমার আলুর চাষ দেখে খুব সুন্দর এবং ভাল লেগেছে আমিও চাষ করব
You can also do that in layers so those who are lower down had a lo ger time to develop and you will get potatoes twice.
Now I just need a banana plantation and rice paddy to support my potato crop😂
what?
That rich soil plus the banana ice cream 😋😋 those potatoes are thankful for your love
This set up is really brilliant
This is so amazing, the hay you used keeps the moisture in the soil. The banana and the rice helps the potatoes to grow with the starches they both have. Am I right? Please let me know! Your potatoes look wonderful!!!
It's not just the starches. It's also the potassium in the bananas helps develop more solid roots (i.e., potatoes).
yes, use what you have at home to grow clean potatoes and save money, any questions?
@@jcb3393 That's right!

Great sharing sir.
What soil are you using? Is there any manure or any fertilizer? Apart from the one you added? (Phosphate fertilizer)
hey there, thank you for this video, very good :) Can you explain the coal? I'm in New Zealand and we refer to coal as the black one used for fire
Not sure, but I think it was ashes from a fire. Aka the burnt coals.
I'm wondering the same thing. Here in America, "coal" means the same as in NZ.
I'm not quite sure either, but the things looked like they were molded. Maybe this person took some damp ashes and pressed them into a smaller pot. But if this is an important step, why do they not clarify that?
may be ashes from his grand mother lol :)
Allow the soil to drain quickly so that the potatoes do not become waterlogged (potatoes are easy to rot if they become waterlogged).
Cao thủ sắp đặt. Tuyệt vời quá John ơi?
Genuine way of growing potatoes
my only question is that when you removed the plants they came up without potatoes attached, leaving earth behind...and then there seemed to be a lot of potatoes in the earth below but not joined to the plant and without evidence that they were joined...thank you could you explain this
The plant usually comes from the ‘starter’ potatoes which either break down as the other s grow or becomes hard small and dark so wouldn’t look like the others. When I pulled my plants up this year, I only had one tiny undergrown one attached rest had nothing and I only had half of one starter left at the bottom 😂
Because it's fake
@@miguelduarte75 Yeah, because you don't know how to do it, so... must not be real. This is real.
We grow a lot of potatoes in a raised bed we did the same pulling the stems leaving the root crops in the bottom.Potatoes has tiny roots it separates from the vines when it is pulled.This planting potato video is real.Kudos to the creator!
Wahoo that's nice thank you for the knowledge shared 🎉
Can you grow potatoes with this method at home?

I really love farming planting potatoes is a good idea ❤
i went back and rewatched the harvest. im new to growing but have seen ppl harvest and i see several things that just aint right. from no tubers clinging to the roots to the skin already skined over which im told by gardeners takes a couple days, to the dirt rinsing off way too easy
I distrust it, when the person who post these videos, doesn't give answers.
I’ve grown potatoes in tubs 2 years in a row now and you do find new potatoes in the soil not attached to roots, how that happens I don’t know but it does.
@@PennyLane66 but every time i see a harvest, yes many arent connected but ive never seen in real life a situation where none are attatched
As someone who has never planted a thing, I found this very interesting. Are those just regular potatoes you started with? Like the kind bought at the store? Can you just keep going using the previous harvest to make more?
If you buy potatoes at the store make sure they're organically grown. The commercial growers spray their potatoes with sprout inhibitors so they won't sprout before someone buys them, and buying potatoes that won't sprout kind of renders them useless for people who want them to sprout!
The ones that you buy at the store will eventually sprout and you can still plant them. Rinsing them off really well as soon as you get them. If you know you want to use them to grow more potatoes does help. I’ve grown quite a few potatoes from those that I didn’t eat and sprouted. I don’t think they mentioned it here but sweet potatoes are a little different so don’t try that with them you would need to watch another video lol.
@@someonewhoknows1891 Thank you.
I will choose the best potatoes for seeding for the next crop.
I grew tomatoes from the seeds of store bought tomatoes. From 2 beefsteak tomatoes, we ended up with hundreds of smaller tomatoes that I used in salads & made sauces.
Very clever ideal ...
When I work planting potatoes we cut each eye as a chunk then planted them in prepared ground & got a great lot of potatoes.
at 6 i see peanut shells too!?
Where do you grow peanuts?
Hi my friend how are you doing today 😊
I like the elevated design to make it easier on your back. Though it probably could be lower, in case you wanted to lift the buckets out
Can you grow potatoes with this method at home?
Water > plastic & time
Not a good combination as very susceptible to mold growth
Same idea but skip water & plastic & keep in cool , dark & dry place
Think will have a better end result :)
Watching from Nairobi Kenya
The addition of rice and banana has me perplexed. I'm guessing they're adding as a fertilizer and potatoes do need potassium, which banana peels have in great amounts. However, the amount that would transfer into the soil after 60 days of growth would be minimal.
besides the potassium, I wonder if it perhaps makes them naturally sweeter potatoes before harvesting
It's just asking for pests. Snails, slugs, flies, rodents...
Greetings, love this idea, I will be adding lockable rollers so that the structure can be moved into full sun at will. Would love to know what the dimensions and materials used. ❤
I think the bucket is the only measurement tool you need, I think for height its up to you--but I think a standard counter is like 40 something inches. They used 5 gallon buckets, press a bucket to the edge of a board and start building rectangles around it, your 2nd 90 degree angle will be the hardest to determine (correctly--its just the width of the bucket from the two linear boards), but you can do it. It is all just built around a bucket, and I don't think you need any measurements. They used old wood for this, wood you just find around, people tear down chicken sheds or old porches all the time. I would use deck screws personally to tie it all together, but deck screws are kind of spendy, and probably overkill for this project. Even nails would be fine and I am not a fan of nails.
I wouldn't do much to make this pretty, but the rollers are a good idea so your table will need more rigidity (cross supports) near the legs.. especially if you need bigger rollers to roll over grass or anything other than a patio or deck.

Vielen besten Dank für die Anregungen .
Jeden Tag das Herantragen der Giesskanne und noch gute Erde dazutun : der Aufwand über Monate ist doch enorm , zumal man die Giesskanne jedes Mal an jedem Tag auch hochheben muss und hin und verschleppen muss .
Ein Wasserschlauch zu den Pflanzen wäre angenehmer .
Der Aufwand mit dem Spezial-Dünger ( gekochter Reis mit Bananen und Gurken ) nach ca. 3 Monaten finde ich eigentlich etwas übertrieben . Wieso reicht denn da nicht ein üblicher Dünger anstatt noch essbare Lebensmittel an die Kartoffelerde zu tun ?
