![Turn ONE Sweet Potato Into 100 LBS Of Sweet Potatoes By Growing SWEET POTATO SLIPS! [Complete Guide]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/0igp5IzO21g/mqdefault.jpg)
People have been asking about Iron Phosphate, here is the link to Iron Phosphate product: amzn.to/3TRFm5E and coconut coir amzn.to/3KAZFS7
Only 2 chits per potato, I have to take some off.
My potatoes are full of chits.
@@feetsoap4266 Better find out before planting rather than after, amirite? 😎
What if you wanted to grow the. Leaves longer for a bigger harvest. Later
Never heard them called "chits".
We always called them "eyes"
Thanks.
This link leads not to an iron phosphate product but to a pesticide.
Thanks! I love this guy. He knows his chit.
😂❤
Limit your chits to just 2 chits.
Chit happens
You’re chitting me!
Har😂
Never knew to limit to two chits. Never knew to cut off extra chits. Never knew the size factor. I've been growing potatoes a long time and never knew these things. Last years I had LOTS of small potatoes. Thank you for a new strategy. I will follow these good pieces of advice.
Me either. Now I know what to do differently this year. Some of my potatoes came out the size of marbles
:)
Me too! 😊 ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Same here.
I’d never heard that information either. Great video!!
Those are the magic words for me..."I like to keep my videos short and to the point". OMGosh so many people just blab on and on. I appreciate that Jag. This means I am going to see what other videos you have. Never heard of this 2 chit method. I am going to try it this spring. Thank you
Glad you liked the video!
lol it’s usually Americans that have the long winded videos 😂
@@Rosesraspberries72 Some people just like to hear themselves talk, haha
Me too haven't heard
So so true....where is the off button.. Years ago I jokingly asked a friend if she had one.
Thank you so much! In my ignorance, if I had seen those "cured" potatoes, I would have thrown them out, thinking they were ruined! Ignorance is not bliss. Blessed is the man who knows how to garden well. Thank you for explaining things as you work.
I appreciate this so much! You're clear, concise, and to the point. I hate how other UA-cam videos try and act loud and juvenile like the viewers are young kids instead of adults looking to learn. Thank you. I learned so much! I'm following now.
Glad you like the video!
Just to the point. I hope to retire in a few years and move to a rural area. As a kid we planted about 2 acres in between apple, pear, and cherry trees. There were days in summer we kids never came home to eat till supper time. Just picked our way through the day. I dreamed of a suit and tie job my whole childhood. Now I want my boots, gloves, and a big dung heap to plant in.
Holy cow - the things I've learned from you about planting potatoes! Amazing! I love the fact that you inform us quickly and succinctly! Thanks Jag!!!
Glad you like the content! :)
Please what is the pink thing u put in the soil sorry I’m french n don’t understand all about this named
It's Iron Phosphate amzn.to/3TRFm5E
You just got nominated for the Nobel potato prize.
Whoa, this is a really bad video full of bad advice. Potatoes, like most other stuff, like neutral soil. Depending on your base ph, you might even need to increase ph. I do and use calcium and magnesium carbonate.
Even worse is the next crap: Earwigs are beneficial critters that feed on aphids and lice. Do not fight them. The CCP killed all the starlings since they tought they ate the seeds and that resulted in an insect plague, trying to kill earwigs is as bad as that.
Please, remove this video due to the misinformation.
Thank you I didn't know about the 2 chits just thought the more eyes on the potatoes the better 🥔 😊 👍
I just cant believe how they have access to just such a large variety of fruits , trees and plants. Feels like they live in paradise. Fresh produce right on their door step , surrounded by nature and enjoyed together in a close knit family and community! All the money in the world cant buy what they have.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us and with a warm smile. I agree with others that you get to the information quickly and succinctly. I appreciate that. Other gardeners repeat the same information over and over and their video goes on too long.
Great potato video. I always planted my potatoes with as many chits as possible, and my crops were not the best. This year, I am going to remove the chits down to just a couple. Thank you!
Did you notice any difference?
I have watched a lot of videos about planting potatoes and your video has given the clearest most informative explanations of the how -to’s I have seen! Keep on with this excellent content! Thanks for all your dedication to providing excellent content!
Thank you very much for the kind and encouraging words, means a lot!
Yes, I second that! I’ve been doing a lot of research to start my first potato season and, Jag, you and your channel are simply the best!
Good morning from Arizona, I've been watching your videos since I saw the one about your grandfather very wise man, reminds me of my great grandfather, lived till 108 but he loved plant and grow he garden, I should have payed more attention, very glad to find your videos, I'm learning a lot, thank you
Thank you for another great video. I'm from Idaho so I didn't think I could learn anything new but I did... I always thought the more chits the better! I also love how you get right to business instead of talking about what happened the last week on your homestead before getting to the "meat and potatoes" of what we're watching for 😂
I have planted potatoes for many years and never knew to eliminate the grow buds to get bigger potatoes. I always got all different sizes. I will try your method this year👍😊Thank you
8:29 holy cow, that was an incredible video! I wish I saw you last year when I tried potatoes for the first time. Watched all kinds of videos and none of them told me the information that you just gave. You had me so intrigued during your video that I never wandered off of what you were saying.
Hi Mr. Singh♥️
Thank you soo very much for showing in full detail how to step by step to plant potatoes.
I plan on planting properly and growing potatoes 💯👍
Never had such a definitive explanation about growing potatoes... Thanks for sharing!!!
I never knew about the two-chit rule. I guess now I know why my potato harvest has been so bad. Thank you and take care
Wow, excellent, concise video! I learned so much without having to hear music, listen to endless chatter, or no talking only pointing without explanation. I'm ready to binge watch your videos! Thank you.
Thx. Last year I planted potatoes, They did not do very well and I wasn't going to try again but after watching this video I'm going to plant potatoes again. Thank you for the to the point helpful video you are without doubt my favorite channel to watch for gardening!
we got alot of small ones too. weplanted lots of long leggy chits
Try adding 1 tablespoon epson salt, to a gallon of water, & watering.
Thanks for explaining all this! Much appreciated- I never knew why I got lots of small potatoes. I have SUBSCRIBED!
Of all of the videos I’ve seen on potatoes which is a ton, I was learning from you no sooner after you started talking. Thank you so very much for this information because I can bet next to no one knows this stuff
Thank you for your wisdom. You have shown me what I did wrong last year.
Getting potatoes has always been hit or miss fir me. I will try this. Thanks for your ideas. They are always helpful.
Great video! Last year I planted the chips. I cut them the same as the ones you are discarding. I had that very best harvest, and I believe 90% of what I planted started new plants. The more potato you leave in the ground is just a handful of mush later when you're digging them up. This worked for me
This is the most informative potato growing video I've ever seen. Thank you for posting it! I tires growing potatos for the first time last year and it was an epic failure, not one tuber. I resigned to just not being good at it but this video gave me hope that if I follow your steps I will have success next time
Glad the info was helpful :)
Yeah and it was nice and fast 🙌🥔
Also look up what type of food your plants need to thrive I heard potatoes like more acidity like blueberry plants just a hint of knowledge I am planting this weekend looking for the right feed for the soil for potatoes
I don't believe it any fool can grow potatoes, being good at it is a different matter.
I saved my mother's and aunt's potato peels for for a couple weeks and planted them in a a row near the fence along the back of the garden. A couple weeks layer I planted more of the accumulated peels. The peelings in my row produced almost the same amount of potatoes as the same length of the "properly" planted seed potato rows. They definitely were thicker peels than what I would make!
Just from peels? I have to try this! Thanks for sharing!
I read, some time ago, that during the Great Depression, that is what people used to do. Eat most of it and plant the peelings with some of the potato meat, not just a very thin piece of peel, of course. Have never tried it.
@@DaisyCreekFarms The best potatoes we ever grew came from potato peelings that were dumped into the compost
pile, along with a lot of other kitchen waste. These things were HUGE! And they were all volunteers, not planted intentionally by us. But
that happy accident sure does point the way towards better potato crops.
@@DaisyCreekFarms Yep! In good soil, it doesn't take very much for a potato to get started.
@@DaisyCreekFarms do you hill your plants to promote more potatoes?
Appreciate all your sharing very much. I buy a 50 lb box russets every Fall but I store them in a dark cool cupboard from a local farm, they last us all winter til April. The last few do sprout but were leggy and white so I just composted them. Will bring my box out real soon to a light spot and try to grow some for the first time. Thanks for acknowledging amendments for sandy soil, my garden soil is basically old riverbed sandy and gravelly. Love all your content and feel blessed to receive the heart felt sharing of your gardening wisdom. :))
First time here but i will say you are awesome right up my alley communicate extremely well and to the point! No over explaining what a breath of fresh air! I love it! I'll be back for more can't wait!
Glad you liked the video! :)
Just found your site. I'm from England and like your other viewers I've learned a lot. Been growing spuds for years but never knew about reducing the chits to two. I'll soon be planting mine so I'll be really keen to see this method..Thank you..
👍👍
I just planted potatoes yesterday, I am going to dig them out and do the right thing and have best harvest 🙏
I did not know about only keeping two chits on potatoes. I love to garden even tho my garden is small and i love to learn more and new things about gardening. Thank you!
Informative without the current weather forecast and long introduction. Bless for the speedy video 🙌
I love your videos. They're so clear and not too long. Thanks!
Thanks for this video. I'm a big kitchen scrap gardener and have not had success with my potatoes and now I know why, too many chits and I didn't allow them to cure a week after cutting. I guess I need to dig up everything I've already planted
if your a kitchen scrap gardener put your banana peels in the dirt for the potatoes
Splendid, thank you! Have grown potatoes for more than thirty years and love to learn how to do it still better :) .
You are the absolute best Jag .thanks for such an informative video .I cant wait to try this method out.
Wow, just a few seconds into program & I’ve learned something new. Thank you ‼️
Such great advices! Thank you, can't wait to have the proper place to try all the things I'm learning from you. Dreams Come true ✨✨✨
Well I was looking for information on how to plant my potatoes.I wish that I found this video about a week earlier.So i'm headed outside to dig deeper holes for my potatoes Thank you so much.
Wow! I've been gardening for a few decades and I have never heard such positive & beneficial growing information as I have in this one video!
I can't believe that I have not known any of this stuff about Potatos and no one else has taught it! (Especially about the potatoes only having two chits to grow!) No wonder I have not had the success I would have liked to have had. I now have to watch all of his videos to gain more gardening wisdom!
Thank you so much for sharing this with us!! 🌱🌿🌾☘🌱🌿🌵🌱
🗣 _(Plus l LUV listening to English with an Indian accent!)_
Thank you for the kind words!
@@DaisyCreekFarms You are quite knowledgeable and it is much appreciated that you share the knowledge you have gained with experience. There are many UA-cam channels that _go on and on_ but really say nothing.. or rehash Garden advice they've learned from others. But when I see someone like you that both loves what you do _and loves to share it with others of like mind_ it is a great thing! Plus you're positive and upbeat attitude shows through... to the Newbie in gardening and self-sufficiency or people like me who have done it for awhile. So that's why I take the time to thank you~ 🤗🙏😇🙏🤗
Very good video. You show where I screwed up last year. Now that I'm ready to prepare my spuds for chit growing......I'll be heading in the right direction. Now, I see why all my spuds were small, and took a long time for them to mature....Thanks :)
Thank you ! I just shared this with several people who are trying potatoes for the first time. Great info.. I never knew about limiting the chits. I'll be planting mine this weekend & using a lot of your methods. Blessings from NW Florida!
Did you get a better yield?
@@Swampe84 the potatoes were bigger. Unfortunately an armadillo took out a lot of the garden in that area, so my harvest was enough for a couple of meals. Replanting for a fall crop.
@brendanelson1027 Great news about the potatoe size. My variety is a small one, so anything to increase size is welcome.
Too bad about the armadillo #@!&%$!!!
They have to have at least 2 chits to cut them.... if it's full like that one...I cut them down further and they grow fine.
Excellent video on a topic that has confounded me for many years! Thank you! Thank you!
My grandfathers method of growing award winning potatoes was to remove all chits except the best one.
He would get 3 lb potatoes for the county fair contest.
Edit: the downside is you only get 1,or 2, 3 at most.
Awesome!
What do you mean only get 1 or 2,3? Do you mean plants or potatoes?
@@Navajosun Granny Smiths apples!
@@steb430 oh, apples. Ok. Thanks. 🙄
@@Navajosun one giant, 2 big, 3 excellent sized potatoes. It puts a whole plants strength into 1 stalk.
we call the chits eyes in my part and plant with three instead of two, may try two this spring but my biggest problem is with scab, I lost an entire crop of Red Ponicacs last year, my other variety Kennebec was fine just didn't produce much
Thank you for explaining the organic fertilizer ratio, and how that ratio changes as the potatoes grow- very interesting (and helpful!)
Wow , Excellent Presentation 👏 ... Man , You Really Got Your
CHIT Together . Thank You 😁 😊 🙏
lol
Excellent presenter! Friendly, concise information, good pace, well spoken, a pleasure to watch. Thank you.
I will try ur technique this year
I have been baffled for a long time as to why my potatoes are so small. Thanks to you I'll be cutting off all but 2 chits from now on.
You are very kind! Thank you for helping us❤ GOD bless you sir❤ Greetings from Croatia
You are welcome! Thank you for watching!
Great detailed video! Thank you ❤ I’m going to plant my chitted potatoes now…
I’ve heard of cutting off the extra chits to get larger potatoes. But I’ve never heard how well you explained the sizes for cutting and not cutting. My wife and I would love to see a follow up video of this one.
Thank you from Zone 5b
Thank you, you have explained this so well
Thank you for explaining the Chits procedure!!!
I do like how you get to the point with lots of helpful information
Glad to hear it! :)
I thought I was chitting, but I wasn’t. I just left lots of little seed potatoes in a box in my greenhouse, cut some in half. So now the rule of two chits per spud - and the rule of wrist for planting depth. Nice and easy. Thank you. I like the way you organise your little container beds, it will help me plan better in bigger beds. First video I have seen that explained all those things so simply. I am quite a newbie and the dragons of the allotment committee have been at me almost since I started last year. I really learned something here, thanks again fella. 👍
Ahhhh, that is why I harvested many tomatoes but they were in various sizes last season. Thank you for explaining the reason why!
Wow at last some basic simple information! Even the difference between rooty spuds and chit spuds was helpful!
I’ve been studying “ growing potatoes “ & found your video the one I’m going with.Short,to the point.Thankyou.Australia 😎👍
I was raised in a working vegetable farm. You give great advice for beginners!! Love your accent.
Thanks for the kind words!
GREAT info!! I will try this, come spring. 2023 is "The Year Of The Garden".... Make it happen people!!
You are excellent at explaining and showing - thank you.
Good Chit
Thank you!!! To much information!! I am learning a lot from your videos! Very short and to the point. ❤
Clear and to the point. I learned a lot. Look forward to planting next year as I have already made my mistakes this year.
😂😂 me too 😆
I like your attitude!! 😎 That's what I tell my kids. Did something go wrong? Did you do it the long way? Didn't come out perfectly? (Like my dry black bean brownies, lol) Well, there's always, "Next time!" 🕰
You always have such great advice thanks for sharing
Excellent videos. I really like how clear and concise they are.
Thanks Jag Singh, for explaining the details while demonstrating them at the same time. Nice video.
Wow Thank you for sharing now I know how to plant my potatoes.
Getting ready to start planting potatoes. Learned something never knew or made a difference. Just 2 seeding. And box is great being small area to plant. Thanks 👍👍👍👍👍
No matter how old I get, I always learn something new...thank you for your video....NZ
Great information never knew the limit of chits did know about drying potatoes cardboard boxes are great!
I wondered why my potatoes and sweet potatoes were so small. Now I know. I’ll try your method this year.
Thanks! Now I am going to have to watch this again and take notes.
Me either. I've been planting my potatoes wrong. Thank you for the info Jag.
Thank you thank you very much it helped me a lot i've been growing potatoes for years and I didn't know jack thank you
I've absolutely no interest in growing potatoes but that didn't stop me from absorbing all 8 and half minutes of this video.
Keep doing you, Jag-- it's working!
😂 love that lol
Fur to grow my food with natural stuff so for earwigs I would sprinkle cinnamon they hate cinnamon
Yep, they hate cinnamon/And I sow mastard between my plants.They hate the smell of their roots
Wonderful advice and excellent guidance for a newbie potato grower! ⭐Great video ⭐.
Thanks for the info, think it would have been good to see a follow up video on how the crop went.
Had to watch the video twice as there’s so much excellent content and advice to take in. So with new knowledge on board I’m looking forward to nice big potatoes later this year. Thank you kind sir, your video is much appreciated.
I like how you continually update a subject - not just one and done.
Thank you for a great video
I want to start growing potatoes. Thanks, this is great information.
Love your vedio clear explanation and easy demonstration. Will definitely be trying your method didn't know about the amount of tubers very interesting 😘
I’ve watched hours of videos on UA-cam about growing potatoes, and I’ve never heard anything about the number of chits, legginess, or the purpose of removing any of them. I’m inspired to plant some potatoes after pulling up my garlic. I think I have some good info to improve my potato game from years past! “Hey honey, don’t bother me, I’m watching videos on chits”😂. Subbed.
Glad you video's are not long yes. Thanks for sharing potatoes are so expensive now. ❤
This video got you a new subbie…… it’s is one of the most helpful potato video’s I’ve seen. From the chits to the fertilizing. Looking forward to seeing your other videos. 💙from NC
Thank You for subscribing! Glad you liked the video!
I tend to like some smaller potatoes for soups, stews and canning. Good video. Thank you
Excellent video, not only did I learn alot but im going to use your design to the tee.
Thank you for your time and knowledge.
Thank you for all the tips. Our 1 st year trying potatoes and sweet potatoes. This video is very educational and will help with our success. Happy gardening.
I think i just found my new favorite potato growing channel.
I had no idea about the iron phosphate, I’ve been struggling with them so much the last couple years, they decimated pepper plants, sunflower, potatoes, no amount of spraying was enough to get rid of them! I will give it a try!! 🙏🏻
Great advice thank you. I prefer small to medium red potatoes so I don't remove any chits and usually get around 5 pounds return on one pound seeds, I use organic fertilizer also, blood meal, bone meal, and hardwood ash, I also compost and use worm castings.
