Plant Potatoes This Way for Huge Harvest

[@DaisyCreekFarms]

People have been asking about Iron Phosphate, here is the link to Iron Phosphate product: amzn.to/3TRFm5E and coconut coir amzn.to/3KAZFS7

[@feetsoap4266]

Only 2 chits per potato, I have to take some off. My potatoes are full of chits.

[@noeldeal8087]

What if you wanted to grow the. Leaves longer for a bigger harvest. Later

[@noongourfain]

Never heard them called "chits". We always called them "eyes" Thanks.

[@mompofelski4191]

Never knew to limit to two chits. Never knew to cut off extra chits. Never knew the size factor. I've been growing potatoes a long time and never knew these things. Last years I had LOTS of small potatoes. Thank you for a new strategy. I will follow these good pieces of advice.

Thank you so much! In my ignorance, if I had seen those "cured" potatoes, I would have thrown them out, thinking they were ruined! Ignorance is not bliss. Blessed is the man who knows how to garden well. Thank you for explaining things as you work.

[@breekime9880]

I appreciate this so much! You're clear, concise, and to the point. I hate how other KZbin videos try and act loud and juvenile like the viewers are young kids instead of adults looking to learn. Thank you. I learned so much! I'm following now.

[@petergreenwald9639]

Just to the point. I hope to retire in a few years and move to a rural area. As a kid we planted about 2 acres in between apple, pear, and cherry trees. There were days in summer we kids never came home to eat till supper time. Just picked our way through the day. I dreamed of a suit and tie job my whole childhood. Now I want my boots, gloves, and a big dung heap to plant in.

I have watched a lot of videos about planting potatoes and your video has given the clearest most informative explanations of the how -to’s I have seen! Keep on with this excellent content! Thanks for all your dedication to providing excellent content!

Never had such a definitive explanation about growing potatoes... Thanks for sharing!!!

[@HerefordGal]

Thank you for another great video. I'm from Idaho so I didn't think I could learn anything new but I did... I always thought the more chits the better! I also love how you get right to business instead of talking about what happened the last week on your homestead before getting to the "meat and potatoes" of what we're watching for 😂

8:29 holy cow, that was an incredible video! I wish I saw you last year when I tried potatoes for the first time. Watched all kinds of videos and none of them told me the information that you just gave. You had me so intrigued during your video that I never wandered off of what you were saying.

[@benbiagioni9906]

You just got nominated for the Nobel potato prize.

[@donaldduck830]

Whoa, this is a really bad video full of bad advice. Potatoes, like most other stuff, like neutral soil. Depending on your base ph, you might even need to increase ph. I do and use calcium and magnesium carbonate. Even worse is the next crap: Earwigs are beneficial critters that feed on aphids and lice. Do not fight them. The CCP killed all the starlings since they tought they ate the seeds and that resulted in an insect plague, trying to kill earwigs is as bad as that. Please, remove this video due to the misinformation.

[@douglasnevill1273]

Thx. Last year I planted potatoes, They did not do very well and I wasn't going to try again but after watching this video I'm going to plant potatoes again. Thank you for the to the point helpful video you are without doubt my favorite channel to watch for gardening!

Great video! Last year I planted the chips. I cut them the same as the ones you are discarding. I had that very best harvest, and I believe 90% of what I planted started new plants. The more potato you leave in the ground is just a handful of mush later when you're digging them up. This worked for me

[@kericarlson1194]

This is the most informative potato growing video I've ever seen. Thank you for posting it! I tires growing potatos for the first time last year and it was an epic failure, not one tuber.

I saved my mother's and aunt's potato peels for for a couple weeks and planted them in a a row near the fence along the back of the garden. A couple weeks layer I planted more of the accumulated peels. The peelings in my row produced almost the same amount of potatoes as the same length of the "properly" planted seed potato rows. They definitely were thicker peels than what I would make!

[@DaisyCreekFarms]

Just from peels? I have to try this! Thanks for sharing!

[@carmenortiz5294]

I read, some time ago, that during the Great Depression, that is what people used to do. Eat most of it and plant the peelings with some of the potato meat, not just a very thin piece of peel, of course. Have never tried it.

[@edb3877]

@@DaisyCreekFarms The best potatoes we ever grew came from potato peelings that were dumped into the compost pile, along with a lot of other kitchen waste. These things were HUGE! And they were all volunteers, not planted intentionally by us. But that happy accident sure does point the way towards better potato crops.
