When you say leaf mulch do you mean just leaves?I have bagged leaves for summer compost..is that ok?
Thank you for this video. How much sun would you suggest for the potatoes?
First year grower, and this tutorial was perfect. Thank you
This video is great, simple and to the point with everything you need to know. I like how you keep it informative and not overly complicated and scary.
Hi Jenna! Thanks for this video. I’m going to grow my potatoes in fabric pots this year. My question for you is, after yoy harvest the potatoes, what do you do with the soil in the containers? Do you reuse for potatoes again or use in flower beds? I grew one bag full of potatoes last year as an experiment and now I’m wondering what plants I can use fhe soil for. Thanks again! Appreciate all your videos.
I’m planting potatoes today (for the first time), but we’re expected to get several days of steady rain. Do I need to cover the newly-planted grow bags or move them out of the rain so they don’t get too wet?
You're a great teacher very well explained and I thank you:-)
My method is the trashcan method!
Take a 55 gallon trashcan and pop some holes in it for drainage. Take some miracle grow soil and fill the can up about 2-3 inches. Put the seed potatoes in and fill it just enough to bury them and give them a good pat down and add water!
As the potatoes grow add dirt all the way up to where the leaves are barely visible. Keep doing this for about a month and OMG the sheer amount of potatoes you can get is astonishing!
From 5 seed potatoes I got nearly 40lbs my first try!
Tubman good information.
This is a great video. I'm using grow bags for potatoes this year and I was wondering what you do with the the containers when the season is over. Empty them…leave them full…?
Best demo ever!
What r mine drooped over?
Great video. I live in NC. When should I plant? I plan to use a container.
made a recent discovery, i ust had a potato peel and its growing a potato plant. Pretty Bad ass, needs extra care though
Great video! You hit all the important points and very to the point.

Thank you ,the easiest video of how to grow , the other video 15 20 minutes of nothing.
Should I just do 1 potato per 7 gallon grow bag?
That was way more than a cup
