[@earlinejackson8151]

I had a friend years ago that was allergic to many things, her worst allergies were to any and all petroleum products, including fertilizer, and to all members of the grass family. She grew most of her own vegetables, of course all organic. She prepared her potato bed by sprinkling bone meal and blood meal on the ground, then covered it with about 2 inches of dry leaves, then put the potatoes where she wanted them and covered them with 12 inches of loose straw. When the potatoes had 3-5 leaves above the straw, she covered them with another 12 inches of straw. She did this ‘layering’ until the bed was about 5 feet high(every time she put straw on, of course the rain, and watering them, packed it down) when ready to harvest, she literally peeled back a layer of straw and picked up the cleanest, most perfect potatoes I have ever seen. Beautiful red skinned potatoes that tasted wonderful! Every layer of straw removed revealed another layer of potatoes! From a 4’X 10’ patch, she got enough potatoes for a family of 6 for a year! She gave me some, and several other neighbors too. She was a good friend, RIP Leonie.

Thank you for making me a gardening addict.... it’s so fun to grow something and I hope they survive and continue to grow. I also planted a bunch of mammoth sunflowers in our bioswells just to make others smile.

I'm in PEI and accidentally grew potatoes this year after I placed old potatoes in my compost. It was a happy accident! 😁

[@jtharp9265]

Here in Texas , along with all food has gone up alot , I started planting everything this spring ,especially potatoes as here in Montgomery County, Texas a 5 pound bag is costing now $5.98 even Sam's & Costco has a limit on their 10 pound of russett baking potatoes of 2 bags per customer and they are costing $8.99 when last year they were $1.99 for a 10 pound bag, plus the fingerlings that me an my husband love are costing for a 1 1/2 pound of melody of yellow,red & purple bag just cost me $3.98 . Our meat has doubled ,we r planning on going in on a 1/2 cow & pig and splitting the cost with our older Sons, everything has went up .it's getting very scarry and also in the surrounding states & Florida. Thank you for such a great video ,I planted some on our land & some in pots ...actually tomorrow I'm planting more since we can garden year around here . God bless you & amazing video ...

[@jessicamiller7539]

Kevin it's so true about potatoes being easy to grow. I tried last season with some 'overrripe' potatoes leftover from my Aldi shop. Threw them in a round 60cm plastic pot filled with bagged compost and bagged, rotted manure. Mulched with sugar cane mulch. Irrigated for a spell, then turned irrigation off for ages as we had an unseasonably rainy summer. Went to empty out the pot a few weeks ago cos I wanted to move it and though it would just be filled with failed potatoes and spent growing soil. Nope! Got like 30 potatoes out of that bad boy. Can't wait to scale up next season! From Zone 9b in Australia.

[@epicgardening]

NICE!

[@onegurl9]

Too COOL!

[@darrenmurray861]

I think that counting your losses at the first sign of blight is definitely the right idea. Blight spreads ridiculously fast, especially here in the wet UK and when growing in the allotment, where I could only visit weekly, the whole crop could be affected.

I love your channel, seriously it's a great one. You dont blather on, you have a personality and you even talk about your flaws in growing... I love it, thank you. Perfect for a somewhat beginner on a budget like me. Now., I got some potatoes from a friend and they're ready to be planted for sure. She told me to plant it, cover with dirt. Let it grow to 6 inches high and cover again, let it grow again and cover again. Then harvest at 6 inch tall. Have you ever heard of this?

[@C_Dubs_World]

You gotta sprinkle some shredded cheese and bacon bits on the smashed potatoes about 15 minutes before they're done. Then a little dollop of sour cream to top them right before eating.

[@Eaode]

n some chive or scallion on top too

[@KonjikiKonjiki]

I so appreciate this video!!! My folks did a great job feeding a family of five with the help of a giant garden that they always planted three long rows of potatoes in. I remember how much work it was, and they stopped doing it after a rainy, rainy fall one year turned everything into soup and made harvesting impossible. Never wanted to dedicate some of my grow pots to taters because they take so danged long, and new potatoes are pretty cheap at the store. HowEVER, this method has me considering starting my own small potato patch now! Thanks so much!

Lazy potatoes! I like how with this method you don't have to worry if the potatoes are determinate or indeterminate. Thanks, Kevin!

[@GardenIdeas01]

Agree with you with this method is easy, happy gardening

[@lalystar4230]

honestly, you still could. but it's never really necessary unless you're trying to maximise your yield. The way I do it is I just plant a bunch and whenever I need potatoes, I'll dig up whatever I need, while letting the plant just sit there and do it's thing and whenever a plant starts yellowing, I'll just pull up that plant and harvest it... xD But that is mid season, if I'm going to use the potatoes very soon. If I'm going to store them long term (for use during the winter and into spring). I'll cut back the plant, let the spuds sit for a couple days and only then harvest them. then let them sit out in the open for a day before bringing them in. It's what I've been taught the potatoes need to toughen up their skin so they store better. not sure if it's true, but I do it anyways :P
