Let the Grocery Store Chit Your Potatoes For Free – and it’s DAY THREE of our 31 Days of Giving!
Day 03 of our 31 Days of Guten Gardening Gardening Gift Giving focuses on growing potatoes in buckets, how to get free buckets for gardening, and how to get the grocery store to chit your potatoes for you.
In an earlier video in this giving garden series, I showed you the buckets that we got for free from our local grocery store bakery, and in this video, I show you how we are planting storebought potatoes in these buckets. These are potatoes that the grocery store chitted for us!
Basically, this is an inexpensive way to try growing potatoes indoors. We are using a strategy for growing potatoes that has worked well for us in the past, but we are using free buckets this time for the growing containers.
We hope you this video on how to grow potatoes in buckets.
Today’s winner gets the rite in the rain notebook, which can be found here if you want to buy your own:

Nice gift! Congrats
Congratulations to the winner! Used those when I had an internship for my local conservation district, and they are really nice! Went surprise swimming more than once, and never any damage.
My dad buys buckets from the bakery at Walmart to use for mixing resin in. They aren't free anymore, but they always have a ton.
Every couple months, I pull out the drawers in my parent's fridge and gather the little potatoes that fall off the back of the top shelf. They've usually sprouted. I have a lot for chitting right now, but something decimated all the ones I had planted outside, and I've not moved my setup yet.
Congratulations to the winner! Need to go to the grocery store to get some grow containers. This a great idea.
My local albertson saves me all their buckets and I appreciate them. I not only grow in them I use them for food storage with mylar and keep reserved water in them
Could I grow potatoes indoors in my "summer" grow bags?
Great video ! Lots of ideas for saving money for gardeners. Thank you for sharing!
I did this as well this year.
What a great idea to check with local bakeries for buckets!
I'll be checking out my local bakery. Congratulations!
Congratulations. That is a cool notebook. 📓
Could you do a series on healthier potatoes with lower glycemic indexes? We have lots of diabetic family members so white potatoes are out, but I've learned that the blue/purple potatoes are much more friendly and that they have a high vitamin C content as well (All Blue potatoes).
Congratulations to today's winner! I used Rite in the Rain small notebooks for my students on our annual big field trip. They work fantastic!
Congrats to the winner! I used that brand of potato earlier this year when a few started to chit and they did well for me! They were yummy.
Free stuff is always good
Congratulations to the winner! I used to get buckets all the time. My hubby used to work at an ice cream factory. He retired two years ago.
I have a few potatoes that have chatted that I wanted to try going indoors. Thanks for showing how easy it is.
My Husband is a line cook and has brought home food grade buckets for me from his work. The buckets he brought home used to have pickles in them. Food service places like restaurants, delis, bakeries, cafes, cafeterias, etc probably have food grade buckets you could get for free. Just got to be brave enough to ask.
G'day from Australia , dont put me in the comp , postage will send you broke , i hit the deli at the sper markets , they get olives , slaw and other such things in 4-5 gall buckets , i've about 40 so far , still collecting ( ive 80 pots with various veges at present )
Congratulations to the Day 3 winner! Great prize! I have a source for free food-safe buckets, because a family member works for a sandwich shop that has large buckets for pickles, and they just toss them when empty. I will be joining you in the potato-growing adventure. Thanks for the helpful information!
I have an endless supply of buckets because a local bakery throws theirs out every day. I’ve been growing potatoes in buckets for several years now, but I plan to scale up production this year with multiple plantings throughout the year. I’m also going to try multilevel planting this year: after planting potatoes at the bottom, I’m going to add another 3-4” of soil and plant another layer. Since early potatoes produce tubers only at the root level and not all the way up the stem I’m going to try for extra production in each bucket
Hey hey from iowaaaaay! Is that a Kwik star??
Congratulations winner!
I like to put a square of landscape fabric in the bottom of my containers so the medium doesn't fall out. It's very cool to reuse free buckets! I will definitely ask for some next time I go grocery shopping 🙂
Congratulations 🎉 . That's a great idea to try for potatoes to try different kinds .
Congratulations to the winner. Good luck for the next draw. I never thought of planting potatoes indoors, just an amazing idea🙂
Can't wait to hit my local store for some free buckets. I'll bring the kids. They can't say no to kids, right?
I grow potatoes in buckets also
Congratulations Melissa!
I really appreciate this video. I like how transparent you are with getting the on sale potatoes for seed and free buckets and actually demonstrating your practices with those things. This content also comes at perfect timing for me, since I am currently trying to plan for the spring, and one of things I want to do this year is an experiment where I grow potatoes in buckets alongside grow bags and see which would work best for me as a standard practice. I attempted grow bags last year, but life happened and I did not hill them at all and ended up with very small potatoes.
Zone 6 Midwest here live in a apartment and I have a patio but it's shaded by heavy trees…Last spring I did tomato plants I planted nine cherry tomato plants in buckets I have to guard against squirrels I had pretty good success this year I'm doing potatoes and sweet potatoes
This is great idea especially in mise infested areas
This is great idea especially in mise infested areas
I've tried several places for buckets, but no luck yet 😑
Great find on your potatos!
Congratulations to winner number three. Could Have Been Me but not this time.
I have to say about 2 months ago I bought a bag of those same type potatoes they were a mixture of purple and white fingerling and some baby reds. I planted the purple and they came up about 2 weeks later and are nearly ready to harvest. The baby red has not sprouted and I fear that it is rotten. But the white fingerling have all started to chit finally. I am looking forward to some winter potatoes here in Florida. Hope I'm next on the winter list as always great videos and wonderful information.
I was able to get buckets at local supermarket I never thought of growing potatoes indoors This is interesting
Thank you for the step by step instructions
Congratulations Melissa!
Thank you for the constant instructions and ideas! Also, wanted to remind everyone to periodically check that you are still subscribed to this channel. This is the second time this year somehow it unsubscribed me to this channel. Idky but glad i checked! Grow Green!
Congrats
Congrats winner! 🥳
Even in my area where we can grow outside during the wintertime, it's hard to find seed potatoes. My current crop of potatoes consists of both potatoes I grew myself and some store bought potatoes that were already starting to chit. Congrats to the winner!
I will try to obtain some of does buckets on the store and I will try to buy some chip potatoes to try to grow them, sounds like a great idea
Congrats to all winners
hope we can win
I have to pay $2.25 from our Mennonite Country bulk store for lidded buckets,but I am ok with that price. ❤️
Congratulations winner #3
