Your positivity and good vibes are SO infectious!! I've watched some of your videos in the evenings, and they are so calming and comforting. Thank you for doing what you do--both regenerative gardening-wise, and just by being who you are!
Awesome stuff, and so cool to have a southern hemisphere gardening vlog with similar climate to us here in Christchurch. And LOL at the "refreshing" drink, mmm, flour!
I LOVE seeing what you are growing and when. I'm stuck up here in the NW tassie and NO shops are open for yet another week. I'm so glad I purchased some gardening supplies before we got closed down. I pot planted some potatoes yesterday, and have been following your layering method to plant other veg. Im excited to transform my whole yard into an edible paradise. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Its gold for me that I've found a tassie, gardening mentor.
fantastic! I am growing spuds this summer the 3 ways you have shown us for the very firts time and they are all growing, keep your videos coming Hannah you are so much fun and inspiring!!
We had some growing in an on open bag of soil for a while. Just cut the end off and stood it upright by the fence. At the time we didn't have a spud bed and didn't want the main bed to get taken over, but we had this one little purple potato plant appear from some relocated dirt. Since then we've used an few open bags to smother some really weedy ground and grown some pumpkin and zucchini. So if you can only afford a $3.50 bag of dirt and you are low on space, you can still grow something.
Love your content very informative. Thankyou so much. I was going to put my seed potatos in over winter and layer mulch over the top so we get an early crop.
Tanya Buchanan I’m in Qld too, wide Bay Area, and it’s a bit wild to wrap my head around that we can’t plant potatoes here yet because of frost but in some parts in Tas it’s do able 🤣
Pillowcase will work (we use the bags that our 5kg oats come in) but the bottom will break down during the growing season, so you need to put it on a tray of sorts (or put it outside.) Single use only :) lovely video thanks!
Love your channel! Here in austria we have a method called hay-potatoe, which I tried this year. I put the potatoes directly on the mowed lawn and then just covered them with about 30cm of hay. When the plant grows, i'll cover it again. Hope it will work :)
Lovely video and great spirit :) If you have a chance could you give us an idea of your sowing times (either early and main crop) and varieties of potatoes you use for those periods? I always get confused by first early, second early and main crop , what that happens and which variety might be considered (we love those Dutch creams you're planting there). We're in Tassie too so it's good to know from you and your experience. Thank you!
love potatoes, grow them all throughout poland,ukraine,russia you look like you are a family member of mine you look similar to me you live in tasmania my ancestors where rather the first people to go there some way or another you are related to me :
When you say ‘compost’, it looks like you are talking about the hay? (I think?) what type of dried grass/hay is this compost? I’m in Perth, WA - and I don’t have any hay, but I have loads of native tree leaves and sticks (eucalpyts, wattles, etc) that we’ve been mulching up - can we use this instead? Or else what do we look for? Ps. Thank you this is the BEST video on all these methods that I have seen and I’ve been searching for weeks!!!👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍
Okay looks good but what about the mound of used decomposed compost as it would probably have lot of grass runner around the side how could you control that to reuse the old compost?
I haven't. If using fresh clippings it might be too hot as it's such strong nitrogen. If using dry, brown clippings then sure thing. Add lots of water and some manure/compost/blood and bone :-)
@@GoodLifePermaculture thanks, our current home we've lived in 10 years and I know it's gardening cycle enough to experiment with success away from the suppliers recommendations , however we are looking for a acreage somewhere and a lot of the places we look are new to us , so I was hoping there might have been a web site to make me aware of a more micro climate 😁 ahh well guess learning it all over again will be part of the thrill 😁thank you anyway
I am in NSW, (1/09/2022) Mid North Coast and my local nursery sold me one kilo of potoatoes to plant. So early Spring, i noticed you mixed compost and garden veggies soil (I suppose) ! Does it work better with compost only in Pots? thanks for your reply....my first time this year!
How did all your spuds turn out? We have just made a vaguely ruth stout esc potato bed for the first time this year and already our nasty couch grass is dominating and bullying our poor potato plants! We might have better luck next year when I can try and thin out the grass more and more and add more deep mulch!
i have big bushy Ukrainian eyebrows and hairy legs at 18 years old I have hunted multiple deer with my hands and am not afraid of lacerations to my skin or flesh, it is rather encouraged as I enjoy the healing process.
You're so gorgeous. We're hoping to move down to Tassie in the next 5 years, we already have a home there that we rent out and our aim is to find a plot that we can grow our own food and have the odd animal or two to help with milk and weeding :) Thank you Hannah (not sure your's is with a H or not) I love what you're doing and for now while we're in SA I'm following to we can grow here.
Hi Hannah! Question, do you use a program to track where you have planted things year to year or do you just write it down? I ask for crop rotation purposes.
I like the part when ypu saod cheers mate lol. I got garnet sweet potatoes, bonaitos, and jewel sweet potatoes growing in a gigantic tub. There's also cassava growing in there lol maaaad tuber diversity going on lol
Hmmm. Potatoes don't want any sun on them at all (otherwise they go green/poisonous). All three options have the potatoes 100% buried, so no sunshine on them at all. The garden/pot needs to be in full sun so the soil gets enough warmth for the plants to grow. That make sense?
Brilliant video describing different ways to plants and grow potatoes. Well done!
Your positivity and good vibes are SO infectious!! I've watched some of your videos in the evenings, and they are so calming and comforting. Thank you for doing what you do--both regenerative gardening-wise, and just by being who you are!
Reviewing potato growing and your happy personality 👍💖💕💗🌺
Awesome stuff, and so cool to have a southern hemisphere gardening vlog with similar climate to us here in Christchurch. And LOL at the "refreshing" drink, mmm, flour!
Thank you. Please keep making more videos!
that soil for potatoes look amazing, I hope you grew plenty of them
So happy to see a no-dig version in there, it's the best way to grow 😍
As always Hannah, you make me smile with your fantastic personality!
Love it! Holy heck, you must have got a TONNE of spuds!!

Love your vibes!! Absolutely awesome video. We are growing potatoes for the first time this year and using grow bags 😁
This is great, I thought that the potato growing season was over, I'll have to give this a shot!
Love your videos, please keep them coming xx

Love No Dig - great that you’re letting people know about the benefits 👍
Would love a video about organically dealing with pests eating your veggies!! Esp. whitefly and catterpillars- white cabbage butterfly
Thank you for these amazing videos! 🙌🏻
great stuff, really enjoyed watching this thank you!
I cant wait to grow potatoes this year, I have to wait until October here near Toowoomba though, thankyou for another video😊

@@Katelyn_Neilsen Yup, we're very close to the ocean here which moderates our temp :-)
Good Life Permaculture that would be very helpful. Not looking forward to all our frosts coming up. 😬 although better than some areas.
Loving all these videos :)
Pillowcase will work (we use the bags that our 5kg oats come in) but the bottom will break down during the growing season, so you need to put it on a tray of sorts (or put it outside.) Single use only :) lovely video thanks!
Yes, def a single use option only!
hehe "goodbye world!" love these vids :)
Thank you for these videos I'm loving them
Cheers Hannah! I’m gonna do both the in pot and no dig methods. They seem to require the least amount of effort :-)
Love your channel!

Who doesn't love a spud great work

Much better sound today. Love that new mic. What kind is it? Lovin your tips.
Ha ha - yes we managed to get a "rode wireless go" microphone :-)
Good videos
This beautiful young woman always cheers me up 😘
Another great video! Thanks!!
Hey, where are your boots from? Love them!!
Rossi boots
@@GoodLifePermaculture Thanks! Ill be looking them up 😄
Cant wait for the next video, take care!

No, I'm talking about the brown soil-looking stuff being compost :-)
so how did they go?
Okay looks good but what about the mound of used decomposed compost as it would probably have lot of grass runner around the side how could you control that to reuse the old compost?
Have u tried growing spuds in grass clippings on a no dig base?
I haven't. If using fresh clippings it might be too hot as it's such strong nitrogen. If using dry, brown clippings then sure thing. Add lots of water and some manure/compost/blood and bone :-)
Good Life Permaculture thanks 🙂
How do you know if your property is low to no frost?
Observation :-). Or if you've just moved there, ask your neighbours.

If you bought compost you could possible grow them in the bag the compost came in, right?
Sure thing! Just pop some drainage holes in the bottom :-)

Hello you lovely people. I’m going to be trying this. May I ask on average, how many potatoes can you expect from each plant?
Depends on lots of variabilities Tracey (soil health, water, quality of seed potato etc). :-)
Good Life Permaculture thanks Hanna. 🌞
You sat the potatoe up to get sun in the pot, but down low in the no dig garden so it didn't get sun. Can you explain that thanks. Bit confused 😜
Hmmm. Potatoes don't want any sun on them at all (otherwise they go green/poisonous). All three options have the potatoes 100% buried, so no sunshine on them at all. The garden/pot needs to be in full sun so the soil gets enough warmth for the plants to grow. That make sense?
Yummmy

Yussss - thanks for clarifying. So many details - I always forget something :-)

Don't worry - I did lots of prep before filming. Everything takes effort :-)
