How to Grow Potatoes in a 5 Gallon Bucket (Part 2 of 2)

[@jdevries6245]

So that's what I am doing wrong! Lol! Thank you for your videos and knowledge! Can't wait to get started right this time. 🙏 Blessings!

[@recoveringsoul755]

Which thing? This was such a great video, detailed, explained and showed everything. Not sure if the potatos I have are "determinate". I'll read more comments. Does it hurt the potatoes if bugs eat the leaves? I'm guessing those flowers get fertilized. Looked like they were in shade most of the time. Full sun? I've got a sweet potato slip I want to try too.

My gosh, here it is April 1, 2020 when the world is falling apart and I should have been onto this knowledge years ago. God Bless you both for putting this step-by-step out there. It really is discouraging when sites show you how to plant a seed, then show you the finished product, without all the in between "how to's". You guys are my new how-to channel and I pray you are able to stay on the air as long as possible. Finally, finally, I will be able to grow a potato! LOL. (I've subscribed, thumbed it up, and clicked the bell)!

This is the best gardening video I have ever watched, hands down. I absolutely love the fact that you explain the entire process the plant is going through. I am a visual learner and the combination of illustration, explanation and demonstration helps to understand as well as retain the knowledge. You make a phenomenal teacher! I can't wait to plant my potatoes!

[@tulsaprepperdad6674]

Big facts! I wish there were more videos like this

[@WalterTonetto]

*We live in a disjunctive age, the Zeitgeist of ‘cancel culture’ and other abominations!* _I THOROUGHLY enjoyed your immensely focused and intelligent scriptural depictions of the plant’s growth phases, and the practical applications! And the prayer at the end, the warmness of its authenticity, gave me a deep inner glow: remembrance where ALL our blessings derive from! AMEN!_

[@patriciahartman8334]

30:47 This is the very best potato’s instruction I’ve ever seen! Thanks sooo much for such wonderful instructions! The time you spent with the diagram and videos is priceless! I feel like I had a college level class and I actually learned how to grow potatoes. And you a made it free! You’re a generous and blessed man that really knows how to teach! Thank you and may God bless you abundantly!

I stumbled on your channel while searching for gardening tips. We live in Upstate NY and my grandpa was a farmer, but he died when I was younger and they had to sell the farm off. I have always had a heart for farming and growing my own food and with all going on here in NY with corona virus and not wanting to go out much to the market, we decided to start our own garden on the property. I so appreciated the detailed drawings and explanations and I LOVED that you gave honor to God in your closing! What a blessing... Thank you for your detailed explanations and you both did a great job working together.

I was reading the comments and wish to make 2 more comments. I think in a previous video, you said you were exp military. So am I, and this is the military style of teaching people from many backgrounds. Teach to the lowest level of their experience, and take the time to be thorough. In taught military and civilians in electronic theory, and this method worked for me. Also wanted to say a Big God Bless to both of you. This is going to help many in these times.

Hollis and Nancy, I cannot begin to tell you how happy I am that I stumbled upon your videos tonight. It's now 3:36 am and I'm STILL watching! LOL Right now I'm steadily taking notes on how to grow taters in the 5 gal buckets. Besides loving how incredibly informative you are, I'm especially excited because ya'll are the first veggie growers I've found on YT that's even remotely close to me...I'm just outside of Warrenton in Virginia, so everything you're teaching actually applies to Meeee! One question though...WHEN should I start my buckets? Today is Thursday, March 28th...it's still in the 20s & 30s in the mornings but into the 50s, 60s, and even a couple of 70s by about 1 or 2 in the afternoon the last couple of weeks. Thank you so very much for sharing your talents and giving so much of your time to us. Making these videos can be very time-consuming so I don't know how you can make these and still have time to do all your other gardening too...I'm impressed! I'm a disabled granny who's looking at some intense health issues coming down the pike (1st of 3 surgeries coming April 19th), but you have me all amped up and excited about getting some successful gardening done in between recoveries. If all goes well, I won't be AS disabled as I am right now and I'm blessed to have help from one of my sons. You both are a Godsend and you've given me something to look forward to. Bless you both for showing up on my path when you did. All in God's time, right? Right! I look forward to your response and to watching the rest of your videos. I have sooo much to learn!
