Thanks for uploading this video. How often do you water the tubs after the potatoes are planted and with how much water do you use? I haven’t had much success in the last two years with the first earlies and it might be the volume of water I used - or rather, didn’t.

Great video. Always enjoy a comparison of fertilizers/soil. The best fertilizer (in my opinion) is worm castings. Plants love the castings and grow/produce like crazy. No wonder it’s called black gold. Maybe give it a try. Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹

I’m confused. I keep reading to take the lid off so the seedlings get air as soon as they emerge from the soil. But you can’t remove the lid and also give it light with the Yaungel. I purchased one and unsure what to do when seedlings emerge.

New subscriber from Montgomery county, Texas 🙏 Great content , we get very hot here , just went through a week with no power ,due to hurricane Beryl from the gulf of Mexico. I started planted our potatoes in grow bags about 4 yrs ago ,due to my bad back issues Its so much easier to harvest like you did , just dumping them out in a wheelbarrow. Im using 15 gallon grow bags ,and they are ready to be harvested ,but putting in the sunroom to let the dirt dry out for about aweek , or should I pull them now ? As I dont want rotten potatoes?. I also plant our sweet potatoes/ yams in grow bags also , as its harder to plant in ground and constantly covering with more dirt or hay/ straw . Yes here in hot texas , my tomatoes have taken a hit , but getting ready to pull my determinate tomatoes, as they are done , our indeterminate tomatoes, Got blown over during the storm , but I got out there with my 2 granddaughters ( they love learning & helping in our garden ) . I look forward to watching more of your content . Mrs josette Montgomery county, Texas 🙏

I may consider growing in pots next year if we have another wet winter and early spring like we did this year. I have an allotment and I was late getting the potatoes into the ground because of the weather, so haven't harvested them yet but must do in the next week or so. Just looking at the plants they don't look as good as last year and I am not expecting a particularly good harvest. In respect of 6x, I've used it in the past and it is good stuff. Also makes a great compost tea for giving plants a quick boost; the tea of which I offered to one of my fellow plot holders who's plants were looking a bit sickly.

Hiya ....this week some of my lettuces bolted which got me thinking about your potato compost experiment ...while you had slightly more spuds when you left the flowers on would it be quantity over quality after all potato flowering is the plant going to seed ...it would be interesting if there is a difference in taste as is often the case where other veggie plants have blown ...?

We keep all the tiny ones too. My wife will make brown gravy(beef flavored) and cook them in it. It makes a great side dish which she calls "New Potatoes". Oh and yes, it's been a difficult growing season this year and I averaged roughly what you had in mostly 10" pots. I have around 15 pounds of potatoes(so far, as I still have 12 more pots to go). At least we don't have the smoke from Canada covering the skies this year, which last year caused all my Red Sun shallots to bolt. I couldn't get a new set this year, but did get Dutch shallots and Yellow Potato onions. Happy gardening!

I agree. But I reuse the compost on the beds as a soil conditioner after. You could just keep reusing it and add a fertiliser each year. Still nicee to grow your own

I buy two of the large bags of compressed compost from Wickes and dilute it with my home made compost, sieved garden soil and last year’s compost mix. I add a couple of handfuls of fish, blood and bone so the cost is not excessive for me, but I am only growing for my wife and myself so I don’t need a lot. However, this year I also tried the “no dig” method of growing earlies and second earlies. I just made a slit in the soil with a trowel about six inches deep, planted the potatoes and as they grew I spread grass cuttings around the potatoes. They were harvested in mid July and I am very pleased with the results and I will certainly grow my early and second early potatoes like this next year but I will also grow my maincrop potatoes in six 30 litre .

I have seen large slugs clambering over a single length of copper tape, I now use two bands of copper tape and this has stemmed my losses. Also, rather than keeping unused plant pots in my shed, I spread them around the garden, upside down. Slugs and snails roost inside the pots and so I can collect them easily. At first, I collected 5-10 per pot, but after a couple of weeks, the numbers started to diminish, so I think I am having an impact.

Wish I could share this extremely hot spell we're having here in Chicagoland. (95f/35c right now). I'm having the opposite problem....need shade cloth and daily long watering sessions to pull through this very early hot streak. Rabbits and something weird happening to the cabbages is my only issues thus far. But we're gardeners and always on the alert for the next threat. Here's hoping your weather improves. Lovely tour of your growing space.
