I have about 10 saved varieties to plant at the weekend after I empty my temporary compost bins all going into containers. My attempt to grow a giant potato I cured my single cut chit for 24hrs and put it in a small pot and planted those at the weekend in a no dig straw covered bed so I can remove with ease the small ones so the biggest gets all the energy. Good luck Mark.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
Great effort Terry having 10 different varieties, think I'd lose track of that many 👍🌱👍
@@marksallotmentplot 👍❤️❤️👍
Quality content as always. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Tony O'Neil does 2 and 2 on different levels for the determinate varieties. And just 2 for the indeterminate main crop potatoes. I thought the size of potato was also due to how many chits are growing. Rub off all except one for bigger spuds. But earlies are nicer small and covered in butter😂❤ I use 30 litre tubs too
Happy Saturday, Mark! Greetings from the US. 🥰🌱❤️ Love a fun experiment! It’ll be neat to see the result of this. 😊 This’ll be my 2nd year growing potatoes, so I’m aiming to get larger, jacket sized ones hopefully. 😂💕 Sowing mine this weekend!
You had me at "nice big chunky jacket potatoes" - nice one!
Well done with the labels!
Hi Mark, great video on planting potatoes in buckets. I grow mine in 30L, too, and do well. Growing, Kestral, charlotte & Estima. Thanks for sharing and take care 😊
Very much like the SSPC2024 method Mark 🙂
Its a great way to do them Steve, especially when trying to get bigger potatoes out the buckets 👍🌱👍
Cheers Mark 🌱🌱
Hi Mark I've bought an extra 10 30L pots so will have 30 altogether, I always sow main crop 2 potatoes per bucket, I reuse the compost but I add fish blood and bonemeal, hoof and horn and chicken pellets, and a potato fertiliser from Elixir garden supplies, varieties I'm growing are Cara Maris Piper and Picasso, I add straw on the top to keep moisture in, I will never go back to digging a trench etc, wish I done them in the buckets years ago, so clean and slug free, take care, Steve Colwell
fab experiment Mark. Very much looking forward to the outcome. I have sown my carrots in buckets for the first time, this year. Growing sweet candle, Norfolk and Sugar Snax Also considering growing parsnips in buckets too. Happy gardening 🙂
Hiya Mark. It’ll be interesting to see how your two buckets compare with yields. I am consistently blown away by now many spuds you can get from even a single seed potato. I do Steve Houses sspc each year and it demonstrates this nicely. I have most of my potatoes out now - all in buckets - just need to get the Pink Fir Apples out and that’s me. Hope our weather cheers up a bit; it’s been grey and gloomy for too long up here don’t you think? All the best. Mags
😅did 3 tubs this morning of cara just got 3 tubs of late main to do in a few weeks hopefully get some good weather to do some seeds soon
I’ve done all mine this way and they are just poking through the straw-fingers crossed
Hopefully they'll turn out well.
Took mine up to the allotment today as I was fed up with bashing my shin on the handle of the buckets in the greenhouse 😂😂😂
Hi Mark , I've just started planting my second early Charlotte's in 30 lite pots today ironically, I found it really hard work as I sieved my old compost from flower pots and only got 4 out of 8 done and I was on about 5 hours lol mind you I was sidetracked listening to Durham's cricket match , I have posted a couple of pics on my Instagram page and wondered if I was making things harder than it should have been, any ideas gratefully received 👍
I planted mine in a bed this year to save compost. Back breaking but all done now haha Desiree, Rocket and Maris Piper 😃
Fantastisch Good work mark you the best te moostuin te compost the patatos planting Good weekend fried 🥔👍🌤🌱☕️🏵🦺
Great video Mark! We have Maris Pipers and Desiree this year. I ordered a 10kg tub of blood fish and bone from that same company and they sent me 9kg of pelleted levington B, F and bone instead! Not sure whether to get a full refund or accept their part refund and keep the stuff? Not used the pelleted stuff before and probably ok for beds but not small pots!
Super Good work Mark you the best te moostiun patatoes planting te potten the Compost thans te video men good weekend friend 🌱🥔🌿⛅👍🧤🎽☕
