How many Potatoes can I grow from one Potato?

In this video I did a little experiment to see how many potatoes would grow from one potato?.....results were very interesting!
Product I use and love:
Reusable Seed Starting Trays:

What's your favourite thing to grow? I would love to know so leave a comment below! :)

Been having good luck this year with Beefsteak Tomatoes, first one was huge.

[@outinthesticks1035]

A neighbor, for years now sets a potato on the ground, and sets a tire around it then fills with dirt . After the potato grows a foot high he puts another tire on and fills with dirt . Keeps repeating all summer . Gets a stack about 6 feet high by fall , claims up to fifty lbs from one seed . Takes daily water though

[@outinthesticks1035]

I don't have a particular favorite thing , potatoes, carrots , beets , cauliflower, herbs , cucumbers, corn , everything tastes better

[@risslittleveggiepatch]

Wow!! That’s cool! I need to try that! Haha!

[@risslittleveggiepatch]

Yes they definitely all taste better when grown yourself!! Actually corn would be my other favourite thing to grow and eat! Fingers crossed for a bumper crop this Spring! 🙂

[@outinthesticks1035]

@@risslittleveggiepatch I don't try much corn . Our growing season is to short , we get one feed a year , even at that it will freeze about every third year

New Subscriber! I love growing potatoes. Especially in buckets as it's so much easier. Great job getting 14 from one seed potato. The past 2 years I've had terrible issues with Slugs eating my leaves. I'll have to figure that out before next March.

[@risslittleveggiepatch]

Thanks so much for subscribing Mark! Yes I think it so much easier in pots but o didn’t watch a video recently of someone who did a comparison of growing on buckets and in a raised bed and they got a lot more in the bed! So I’m going to have to try that now and see what results I get. We don’t get many slugs here as it’s not wet enough so I can’t help with that. Is there a beer remedy or something for slugs? Like putting a plate with beer on it next to your plants?

[@Alycanj]

I am glad I found your channel, I always wanted to start growing potatoes in a container, new sub, must say you are the prettiest potato grower I have seen, and best dressed.

[@risslittleveggiepatch]

Thanks so much for subscribing! And thankyou for the compliment! ☺️

[@hannahsmith1130]

Great idea to see how many you could grow! Very helpful for us novices! Thanks for the great video Larissa!

[@risslittleveggiepatch]

Thanks so much Hannah! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 🙂🥔

[@queeniesongs]

Thanks for this! I have been discouraged about growing potatoes because I wasn't sure what to expect and oddly enough I think I have been doing it wrong in past seasons. I will try again next spring.

[@risslittleveggiepatch]

Never give up! Potatoes are so worth it! 🙂🥔

[@leahturner5775]

It's like unwrapping presents at Christmas - just not sure what and how many you'll get! Awesome video Larissa!

Thanks Leah! It is like Christmas. I think that’s why love growing potatoes! 🙂🥔

Thanks Leon! The taste is incomparable! 🙂🫛🥦🥔

[@ibrstellar1080]

I'm in the UK so ideal potato growing climate so it must be hard keeing them well watered in OZ, I use wicks in my buckets with a drip tray to allow the plants to suck the moisture up and had good results and mulching with cut grass and straw is also beneficial. Weel done and good luck.

[@risslittleveggiepatch]

Thanks so much. Yes it certainly gets a bit dry here. I had the ones in pots with a drip tray underneath also. I was actually surprised how moist the soil was still when I harvested them. My next goal is grow bigger ones! 🙂🥔

[@ibrstellar1080]

@@risslittleveggiepatch I'm trying to grow Queensland blue pumpkins and might struggle to get large pumpkins but you must have grown some downunder?, I put two old sports socks in the middle of my potato buckets that simply drwas the moisture to the top of the bucket and my potatoes grew larger in those buckets without so give it a go as I find doing your own experiments that work best for your garden.

[@jpeel2066]

That's a decent amount of potatoes from just 4 plants. Great video. All the best 🇬🇧.

[@risslittleveggiepatch]

Thanks! I was pretty impressed! 🙂 thanks for watching! 🙏🏼

I grow potatoes in net house.and give water through drip irrigation.I like your technique.I will follow your technique.Thank you.

Sounds great! I would love to hear how that goes for you! 🙂

New subscriber, from Melbourne. I’ve just planted my potatoes and this week I’ll start the zucchini’s and tomatoes.

[@risslittleveggiepatch]

Thanks so much for subscribing! It’s nice to find other aussies with gardening channels. I’ll follow you back! 🙂

[@mrMacGoover]

Did you pre-grow slips from your seed potatoes and then plant those?

[@risslittleveggiepatch]

I bought seed potato from the nursery which were already chatted and planted straight into pots! 🙂

[@mrMacGoover]

@@risslittleveggiepatch I have never heard of this term (chatted) what does it mean please? Thanks.

[@stuart7999]

For a pot that size i would be using 3 x seed potatoes placed an inch from the bottom , if your only putting 1 seed potatoe in the pot then a 10 litre pot or 10" wide x 10"deep pot is perfect. nice harvest though..

[@risslittleveggiepatch]

Thanks Stuart. This was an experiment to see if giving them more space they would grow bigger or more abundant. I am going to be harvesting my next experiment tomorrow which was two potato seeds in the same sized pot which I’m excited to see how many and how big they are! 🙂🥔

defo the most attractive potato harvesting video i,ve ever seen.

[@risslittleveggiepatch]

Thankyou ☺️

[@squid7998]

If you are using the hot composting method to make compost, you could probably put that used soil in your compost, and the heat should kill any bad bacteria and potato seeds from it

[@risslittleveggiepatch]

Thanks for the advice squid. I’m using a tumbler compost bin and it’s the end of Winter here so I don’t think it would get quite hot enough to kill whatever is in the soil. I ended up putting the soil in a flower garden bed that needed topping up so was put to good use! ☺️

[@squid7998]

@risslittleveggiepatch that's a good point, most videos I've seen are from Americans so didn't realise but I'm guessing your Australian aswell then cause its winter here for me too, are you allowed to have chickens where you live cause they could help with the composting while producing some eggs to eat

[@risslittleveggiepatch]

@@squid7998 yes I’m in Australia! I would love to have some chickens. We are allowed to have them here which is great! I just have to convince my partner that it’s a good idea! 🤣

@risslittleveggiepatch try telling him it's only the roosters that will bother him with loud crowing so he probably won't even notice the quiet hens lol

@@risslittleveggiepatch de rien c'est avec plaisir

[@loki7441]

Hi, That looks like 'Galling' on the white star. Its usually caused by watering issues .Just rub them off before eating, if they are looking a bit bad just cut the bad part off. Never eat a potato that's gone green from light contact. Give you a sore tummy and at worst feel off for a day or two. Your mulch kept the light off.

[@risslittleveggiepatch]

Thanks for the advice Loki! None of them were green thank goodness! 🙂🙏🏼

[@georgecarlin2656]

The somewhat heavy breathing while harvesting - one can tell you mean business :)

[@risslittleveggiepatch]

Haha, I didn’t realise how heavy I was breathing until I put the video together. I did have a blocked nose at the time and it’s hard work moving those heavy pots around! 🤣

[@georgecarlin2656]

@@risslittleveggiepatch same here, I have to keep the phone close to my mouth otherwise one can't hear what I'm saying, and then when I watch my video I cringe a little, especially if I chew on a carrot or something :)

I'm about to dump my patato buckets soon😳...I'm worried now because I didn't plant the whole seed patato just cut them into several shoots 🤔 I was concerned with overcrowding

[@risslittleveggiepatch]

That should be fine Dennis as long as each section had an eye you will get potatoes! Let me know how you go when you dump them!! 🙂
