Potatoes in containers experiment - harvest

[@sureshsewraj9805]

Ricardo, my brother, you 4:50 amaze me every single time with your awesome videos! You are a real investigator to reach newer highs!! Dutch saying "if you don't try you don't know"!!

[@lifeof_sim]

I'm glad you tried something new. It's interesting to see the difference in size from each yield. Definitely keep playing with it

I had tried the same layering experiment this year. Unfortunately a giant pine tree fell onto my potato bags back in July, so I only got early potatoes once we uncovered the area. Win some, lose some… Let’s try again next year! 😊

Wow. I’m glad no one got hurt. Good luck. Let me know how it works out for you.

thank you for the video , we've been growing in pots for a while and balancing out the soil has been tricky, getting nutrients to stay in the soil a big issue , as almost as soon as they are free they drain out , so this year im using manure from cows mixed in 2 months before planting and a hand full of worms and worm castings in each pot , we'll see how that goes , but growing in pots is still our best option here in the desert country

I usually amend the soil with fertilizer. Roughly 5-10-10. It’s always worked well - except for this last time. Perhaps I will add some good compost next time?! I haven’t thought about using manure.

@@ricorodi dont forget the worms to make the mix perfect for plants

@@dimboolabladeworks7927 Good idea. I have a compost heap, full of them. 👍👍

Speaking as a person from Ireland, potatoes can be fickle a-holes!

[@ricorodi]

True. But they can be rewarding too. I spent 9 months working in Ireland and I love what they do with stage potato - never knew one could cook it so many ways. 😋

Did you perhaps use a different soil ,you definitely got much more on the 1st batch 😋😋😋

[@ricorodi]

Thanks for the suggestion. I used the same soil, but I amended it properly. I don’t think it was that. I suspect the weather 🤔

Next product will be better … keep experimenting but this time carrot’s maybe 😂😂😂😂
