    I often here that using woodchips will cause a loss of fetility due to a lack of nitrogen however gowing potatoes in woodchips provides a friable mulch which as it breaks down feeds the potato plant and holds on to moisture creating the ideal gorwing conditions for potatoes. Grow organic no dig potatoes and enjoy a tasty staple full of nutrition.

    here's how i planted these potatoes - Harvesting Potatoes Grown In Wood Chips

      I’m going to try growing mine in woodchips. I grow mine in grow bags and stack them side by side with some kind of small trey on the bottom with loose dirt. I fill the trey with water and then pretty much forget about it until they’re ready.
      Nice of you to include your family.

    Brilliant! Exactly what I needed to see at this moment. I have a spot where the wind blew away a shed and nothing had been growing there before, for decades. I amended the soil some where I planted tomatoes. They grew ok, but didn't thrive. So, in crop rotation, I was trying to figure what do with that bed, and this is it. I get free woodchips from the city yard.
    Love this, and the kids are such a joy to watch. Good on you as a father giving them great life skills in the garden. Pure gold!

    I have a limited number of tree pots in which to grow potatoes, so I'm going to try this with some of the mountain of woodchips we already have, which is normally used as mulch. I'm even wondering if I should use some of the more composted woodchip to top off the buckets (at the moment, there is 4" in the bottom, then the potatoes, then enough compost to cover) as the growth comes through, rather than use precious compost (I make a huge amount, but it all has to be riddled out to be used).

      Hello and thanks for the tips. I was unaware of the need to keep them moist. You grow Carrots pretty much the same as me soil wise except mine are in the ground not buckets.
      Ref ants and the container grown spuds. They are outside and watered in dry spells otherwise it’s dear old natures job. Perhaps I should keep the soil damp and not leave it to go dry. I have heard that dry containers attract ants. I am going to try your way using woodchips though.
      Again thanks very much. My best to your family and especially the little budding gardeners.

      I’ll have a look ... there’s always set backs no matter what you do .. like life lol... I’m constantly learning what works and doesn’t ... what makes me laugh is 4 years I’ve been using woodchip for various things then no dig and most thought I was stupid ... now this year their all doing it as they’ve seen how much less of weeds I have and how my plants seem to thrive even though I’m
      Not putting anything in the soil ... have to be an inspiration to make others see lol ... anyway great to see your fab garden/allotment and the enjoyment it’s brings to you and all your followers 🤗🥔

    Did you find out about the "poison" after you spread the mulch? Didn't seem to affect your harvest....I have tons and tons of chips, but even after several years they don't seem to be as well composted as yours.....

    • @MyFamilyGarden

      Yes after spreading it I saw the damage on my interplanted broad beans.

    By the way what sort of wood chips did you use to grow your potato chips

    • @MyFamilyGarden
      @MyFamilyGarden  3 роки тому +1

      It's a good method, and by the end of the year they've composted down enough to use as mulch for the rest of the garden. I use any woodchips I can get hold of lol

      Thank you. Yes absolutely, if you don't have access to the ground to grow in you can use containers. i grow a lot of veg like potatoes and carrots in containers (I've done a few video's on that) take a look at this bed that can be set up using cheap wood, there's a lot you can grow in it ua-cam.com/video/zwgl-QRYTng/v-deo.html

    Great video! Thank you for posting this. I'd love to know if there is any difference in the flavour of the potato when grown in soil vs woodchips?

      Personally i don't think so, but they come out a lot cleaner and are less insect damaged
