I'm a (really) old lifetime home gardener. I've come to the conclusion that growing vegetable is relatively simple. No gimmicks or weird additives needed. I've tried every method imaginable and I've come to the conclusion that all you need is compost, water and mulch to succeed in gardening. This is a good video.
@GrowfullywithJenna3 жыл бұрын
It's funny you mention this. My dad & I were just having a conversation about all the old farmers around our area who had great gardens for many years and came to the conclusion that the 'secret' was just lots & lots of composted cow manure 😆. We as humans are really good at complicating things that should be simple. I believe you are right- compost, water & mulch go nearly all the way to a successful garden. I might add that success requires the gardener to be observant as well (and good seeds don't hurt). Thank you for your insight & I hope you have a wonderful day!

My method is the trashcan method! Take a 55 gallon trashcan and pop some holes in it for drainage. Take some miracle grow soil and fill the can up about 2-3 inches. Put the seed potatoes in and fill it just enough to bury them and give them a good pat down and add water! As the potatoes grow add dirt all the way up to where the leaves are barely visible. Keep doing this for about a month and OMG the sheer amount of potatoes you can get is astonishing! From 5 seed potatoes I got nearly 40lbs my first try!

Good video with great instructions.. Not a fan of this method, just me I guess. I have grown potatoes conventionally for 50 years in the home garden and played with towers, tires, buckets, grow bags, wooden boxes the last 10 years. I have found the above ground problematic mainly because of the heat. Soil temps during the day on average 10 degrees warmer which is fine the first third of the cycle. They start out well but the last month or two depending on variety just don't continue to prosper as the ones beside them in the ground. Lot of small potatoes. As far as maintenance a slight nod to the above ground planting and harvesting but easily require double the watering so over a three month period conventional much less time invested. I can see where someone who has never grown potatoes likes the novelty but 5 lbs of potatoes after investing in the seed, grow bag, soil, fertilizer, and time isn't much of a return. I'm down to a 6 by 8ft plot for my potatoes and plant 10lbs of seed potatoes. Average yield is about 120lbs which usually lasts 10 to 12 months for two people. In my opinion could never produce that yield above ground in the same sq footage. I apologize for the negative comment but feel strongly if someone wants to grow potatoes they're better of sticking with how they have been doing it for hundreds of years regardless of available space. Spend your time and money improving your soil even if its only a 4ft x 4ft plot.

Thanks for sharing your opinion! I tend to agree with you- the 'traditional' method will always be my go-to.

Plus, it really is a fun project for young kids! Take care & enjoy your potatoes!

Jenna, would you say your growing bag was about 2/3 filled with soil when you started? I’m hoping to plant potatoes very soon. Thanks.
@GrowfullywithJenna3 жыл бұрын
Hi Lois, I'd say it was close to 1/2 full at the time of planting. You want to leave plenty of room to add soil/mulch as your potatoes grow. Happy planting!

Great video! The first time I planted potatoes I used high nitrogen fertilizer... I had the most beautiful potato plants (tall, dark green leaves, bushy), but the most puny root system you ever saw. I learned my lesson as the old farmers laughed at me, "Nitrogen is good for above ground crops, but it doesn't do much for anything below the surface of the soil" :D

Hey Jenna, I'm in your area. My question is when is the last date I can get irish potatoes in the ground and still get a harvest? I want to harvest as late as I can so I can use those potatoes for seed potatoes the next year without them chitting early. PS LOVE YOUR CHANNEL Been sharing it!
@GrowfullywithJenna2 жыл бұрын
Hello! In the spring, I try not to plant later than early May. You can also do a late summer planting for fall harvest- an early to mid July planting time usually works well for me- the trick is just getting those potatoes lots of water through July & August. Thanks so much for the kind words!

I planted Magic Molly Potatoes along with Red Norland and Red Pontiac. They are 90 day potatoes. The instructions on the Magic Molly are as follows: HARVEST: Small, "new" potatoes can be harvested beginning about 7-8 weeks after planting. Main crop tubers are harvested in fall. After foliage has died back, leave tubers in the ground for 2 weeks to set skin. Dig tubers, brush off soil, and allow skins to dry before storing. Store in a cool but not freezing 40°F (4.4°C) dark, humid place. ☝️mine are in grow bags, can I harvest “new potatoes” and leave the main tubers for the fall? It doesn’t make sense in a grow bag does it? My stems are starting to brown and they have flowered, I planted in late March so they’d be 90 days by the end of June. Should I harvest them all then or wait until fall?
@GrowfullywithJenna2 жыл бұрын
When I plant in March, I generally harvest in June... maybe July for later varieties. I think that 'fall' mention is for folks who plant later in the season. If the stems have already flowered and are now starting to brown and die back, your potatoes wont' produce any additional tubers and once that foliage has died back the existing tubers won't get any larger. No need to wait to harvest.

Hi Jenna, just found your video. I live in Phoenix, AZ. I'm going to try root veggies since the summer veggies did so poorly. I grow in pots or sacks, small yard, too much clay. Can you suggest the right compost to try for root veggies? Can you also recommend the right temp to start planting? Phoenix stays hot until late September. Many thanks. You're a great teacher.
@GrowfullywithJenna3 жыл бұрын
Hi Sylvia, I'm glad you found my video & that you're trying root veggies! Any high-quality compost is great for root veggies. I go with mushroom compost because I have a good local source, or use homemade. With fall planted root crops, I generally use my first fall frost date as a guideline and count backwards. It looks like Phoenix has an estimated first fall frost of December 27, so most root crops could be started about 60 days prior to that.

What ratio would you recommend when it comes to the compost, peat, and potting soil? I have Yukon Gold seed potatoes on the way to me in southern Ohio from Gurney's, and am growing in 30 gal bags. Thank you!
@GrowfullywithJenna2 жыл бұрын
I just kind of eyeballed it, but it probably ended up being 1/2 potting soil (ProMix), 1/4 compost and 1/4 peat. You could probably even go a little heavier on the compost and lighter on the peat (since most potting mixes are peat based anyways) and potatoes would appreciate the extra nutrients.

thank you for the videos and the great information - in your 20-gallon bags - how many (I guess pounds) of potatoes do you harvest at one time? Want to figure how many of the grow tubs to get for our family for next year. Thank you and have a great day.

Hello & thanks for stopping by my channel! I've actually never weighed a harvest, but I'm getting ready to harvest the 3 bags I have planted in the next couple of days and will let you know the yield as soon as I do so. My guess is 1-3 lbs. per bag, but as you can imagine, yield can be affected by many things- the variety you choose to grow, soil, fertility, water etc. At any rate, thank you for the great question, and I'll report back soon!
@GrowfullywithJenna4 жыл бұрын
Harvested the first tub this morning- 5 1/2 lbs. This was a generic red seed potato I picked up from a local greenhouse, so I'm not sure what variety is actually was. I've got some Purple Viking in a later planted tub and expect that yield to be at least slightly larger, as I know Purple Viking to be a high yielder.

Hey lady, I'm not sure if you are making money from your KZbin channel yet, but if you aren't, you totally could. Your content is well enough for you to have your own website, and you can get affiliated with a lot of different companies. Some of those garden companies offer a decent amount of benefits between donating things to you so you can share about the product, offering you compensation for making a video, or you could just get affiliated and provide people a discount link, or a purchase link. You already share tips for people, so if you got affiliated with some different companies that you value and believe in, and if anyone wanted to buy, you would get a percentage since you helped to connect the person to the useful product. Just saying. You are really professional, clear, informative, and you've got a sweet personality. You deserve to get paid for the time and effort you put in sharing information. Keep a look out for Home and Haven in the next year or so. My hunnie and I are fixing up our property and jumping into the KZbin community.

My wife saves 1 potato from just about every bag the smallest out the bunch ! She throws it in a tub of saw dust we have ! We mist it with water one a month and in spring we have more sprouts than we can possibly plant ! I am under the impression you plant gmo and leave it be for a few generations it will return to a more natural state ! The way I hybridize them and use the new seed from year after year ! One day big potato is going to have an issue with my heirlooms !
