I have been using your seed potatoes for a few years now. I love all the different varieties I have planted. Potatoes are SO easy to grow!
We're glad you like them! Thanks!
Thanks I've been growing your Red Norland and Prarie Blush in this kind of container for 3 years and they work excellently.
Great to hear!
So informative! I didn't know about those paint pens! Picked up a couple other tips as well. Thanks so much for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video! Please show a fall planting video for zone 6B/7A. I love your products!
Where are you located? Jim
Thank you! As a newbie, this video was very helpful especially as I intend on using the bags.
Glad it was helpful!
Love these videos you guys are doing. I learn something every time I watch one thank you so much!
Glad you like it! More to come!
Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure!
Please update us on the progress of the growth of these potatoes. I bought anirondack seed potato from you. They were planted on April12th and are still growing, I have found a couple marble size potatoes so I think it will be awhile before they are ready to harvest. Thanks for sharing.
That's our plan Shirley. Once we're done planting we'll be better able to pay attention to our Smart Pots. Jim
@@jimgerritsen6843 Jim, can you tell me how much agro thrive and granular fertilizer to use and how often. First time potato grower. Thanks
@@shirleyk623 Shirley, sorry, I'm not familiar with Agro Thrive. Also, if the granular fertilizer is conventional fertilizer you will need to be sure to lay it a couple of inches below the seed piece. You must avoid contact with the seed piece by conventional fertilizer or the seed piece may may get burned. Jim
Do you eventually fill the bags as the vines grow?
Yes, Susan, as the plants grow we'll fill-in with Fort Vee Compost until the Smart Bags are full. Jim
Great video
Thank you!
@@woodprairie I learned a lot and have my list that I'm going to buy for my fall planting in my zone.
Glad to hear it! we are trying to film and post everything we can
Satisfying
Thanks!
Do you come back and add more soil/compost after they emerge? Please make a follow-up video on how it goes from here (sorry, I'm a newbie). Thanks!
Yes we come back and add more soil. Will do!
Be good to know what’s in the fertilizer - mostly rock dust, apparently
Thank you for this. I live in idaho do i still have time to plant the pinj blush
Good video! I tried growing (your) potatoes last year in grow bags. It was my first time growing potatoes. I think it went pretty well…but I got overwhelmed with other things in the garden and I think I harvested them waaay too late. I read something that said I shouldn’t eat a potato that had started to sprout.
Anyway, here’s the question: once the potatoes grow leave, I should cover the bottom few leaves with soil or straw, right? What do you use? If straw, is the “weedless” straw ok? Or does weedless necessarily mean the straw has been treated with an herbicide?
Thanks for your help!
The leaves are your Solar Energy factories so to the greatest extent you can, I would avoid burying leaves. If growing in Grow Bags you can simple bury the seed deeper and let the soil media serve as your "hilling" material. Alternately, you cover soil with a thick layer of straw, hay or leaves to prevent developing tubers from getting exposed to light. Jim
