Growing Potatoes / Hilling or Mounding Potatoes
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 жов 2024
- We planted our seed potatoes 30 days ago already! As you can see they have not wasted any time, and we are at our first hilling point. We will do this a little at a time, every 2 weeks as the plants grow taller. Potatoes like to grow tubers from roots all up and down the tap root, so by adding more soil around the base, you are allowing your potatoes to grow more tubers toward the top, without risk of breaking the surface. You don't have to hill your potatoes, but doing so increases the yield from each plant, allows for larger tubers and contributes toward the overall health of your potato plant!
Perilous time we live in now. No one is coming to save you. No matter what method of gardening you use, the important thing in your life and priorities should be food production.
I hear and see so many people making excuses why they can't have a garden.
I lived in a second floor apartment and on my balcony I made a food wall on that balcony and grew vertically fruit and vegetables.
There will be no excuses when the shelves are empty except "I can't" when you wouldn't.
Thank you from Custer SD USA Black Hills mountains.
Country folks can survive 🤠
You're so naturally genuine that you just don't wear gloves and you are barefoot out there! Thank you for your explanation about potatoes. I'm trying to do it myself.
The queen of the green! I miss you nina, its been a bit since we talked. Since my dad died almost. Im glad youre well happy and healthy. Best always Phil
Looky here, we've been watching you ever since you did that dance on the dock on HLC. THIS video is that point where you seem to be not only happy but at peace with your life and circumstances. And frankly my wife and I are happy that Miss Nina is settled. You've always done great work and it's a pleasure to bring into our home. Hell, we've followed you long enough, that says it all! Nevertheless, you find someone who is obviously on life's journey and to watch them work through all the challenges life brings and the grace and poise they acquire to handle those challenges as they settle in to becoming the positive role models they themselves could have used in their own youth. You are a credit Nina to all those you have learned from, both good and bad. Because I think you are one of those few who recognizes that the bad experiences were just as necessary as the good ones to shape the very lovely and beautiful woman you have become. Good bless you and yours...
Your potatoes are growing nicely Nina.
Great opening shot of the plant and sky at beginning. I like to do that in fall.
Yep you were dead on with the rain Nina. Perfect timing ⏱
Love a girl who loves to get her hands in the dirt. No disrespect. Garden is fun. Grow on.
Great video Nina
When I was a kid we planted potatoes in tires . Layered three high . When it comes to harvesting you only dig the bottom layer. A way to garden up in a tight space. Great vid Miss
I enjoy watching your videos when you're guarding gardening and cooking and fishing keep up the good work
New to gardening , never knew about mounting the potatoes I’ll definitely be Trying this . Thank you from South Carolina
Rockin the Dead Shirt!! Love it!!
Man it's one of my oldest shirts. It's so faded and comfy. Ive had it at least 14 years.
What's up, Nina?! Another great video. Glad y'all are well and blessings from Georgia, USA!
That was amazing video clip you put together there off what you were doing to your 🥔🥔there it was great to watch it there 👍👍
The above ground beds look great! Keep up the good work and God bless. Kudos!👍😎❤️
Good luck with the garden. Take care.
88.3 thousand subscribers outstanding Nina yaw too good to see you as always
Can't beat fresh from the garden potatoes.
You are an amazing young lady,Jason one lucky guy
We love your videos keep on keeping on living the life Covington Georgia
Really finding the gardening series interesting. Keep up your good work!
Always educational.
Nina, a lot of Store bought or None seed Potatoes can have a growth inhibitor added to them, That is why your other Spuds plants are not growing as fast. They are looking great, good job Nina!
That rain sure looks good. 104 today in south Texas. I've had less than 1 inch of rain for the year. I'm calling calf rope on raising any crops this yr. Dad said he will start digging potatoes in 10 days or so. When I'm dry here, he gets the perfect amount of rain for his gardens. Said he pulled 200 lbs of onions this week. Expecting around 500 lbs of new potatoes.
love it south east Texas.
When I was younger and had a small garden. I did the same thing. But I also raised chickens for the eggs and would mix the chicken manure in with my soil as it is a great source of natural nitrogen. But I would let the manure compost for about 5 weeks to bleach out the ammonia before mixing it into the soil.
Potatoes become much more interesting, with the purple shirt!
We planted our potatoes about 30 days ago too, in grow bags, and they are doing well. Thank you for the discount code for the Survival Garden Seeds, I ordered the Farmer Collection. Looking forward to trying them out!
Love your... vids
Thanks for the great information
🤗
You really draw me in to your potatoes
Those are some nice looking potatoes Nina!
Great video, very informative
Nice video L3
😃
I built my last garden bed after seeing the way you and Josh put yours together except I used some pallet wood I had planed and some wood from an old picnic table my neighbor gave me for the posts. So I'm following along from the beginning and hoping my potatoes turn out better than last year and maybe as well as yours. Bless that green thumb you have. Thanks for Sharing!
My greetings from Indonesia. extraordinary
I liked the video Nina! Fun to see your taters growing and doing well so far. Keep a close eye out for the first sign of a tater bug! Those things get on everything if they get going. Anyway thanks for the update and hey…..love the warmer weather and that barefoot gardening…the only way to go! Take care!
Great information thank you ma’am. My home has raised beds, large buckets, and a fair sized tilled garden. Love to try new plants. Would like to try your challenge.
I've been following you and everyone from HLC. I'm in North Florida and use many similar gardening methods as you do. I normally don't comment, but saw an opportunity to help today. By the way on my suggestion on your beds you can also use 1 1/2 " pvc in the corners since it wont rot and you can pound in the ground. To help help keep them in place in case the pups run into them when they play.
I like it, thanks!
Thanks for sharing
It will be good to fill out between the plants too.
I planted a young Loquat fruit tree which was about a foot high, down to almost where the lower leaves formed.
As my tree grew up, the first lower branches formed much lower down than usual, which I knew they would!
Just got my raised bed built. I used 2x4’s and corragated roofing panels. Gonna be planting in 2-3 days. Hopefully it’s not to late to get everything going. I’m in the same boat with y’all as far as moving and having to hustle to get a garden going. It’ll be worth it when the bed is full of vegetables!
It's not too late! Most folks are just getting started. It's been a cool spring.
Hey if you add pvc pipe 1" to the beds it will make the corners stronger & you can put on shade clothes or shower curtains to prevent over watering. On 1/2" pvc then it will fit into the 1" pvc in the corners.
@@karynlee9632 thank you Karyn
That's my mom! Who do you think taught me??
I have a soil fungus in my garden and can not grow potatoes so I'm going to try raised beads like you're doing thanks for the video
Exelente, grasias.
Damn, those are sure some fine potatoes.
Planted a BUNCH of red pines and Norway spruce today in northern Michigan. Not doing a garden this year, except for the zucchini's I'm going to put on the edges of the food plot for venison.
You remind me of a young woman I saw getting fish off trotlines. We moved last year and I don't have the size garden I want but it's all good..
We'll be setting our trotlines out tomorrow!
I think I may have done that gardener thing...going too big! I have 35 grow bags with about 25 lbs of seed potatoes spread between them. I had to go buy more compost and mix yesterday to hill those up. Good video! Keep it up.
I'm still waiting for my yellow Yukons from the store to start chitting so I can plant them.
No chit? 🤣
Green thumb or not you have a beautiful spirit.
Tip for y'all. I planted 3 types of organic potatoes this year. Most were looking amazing but since I'm in the East things aren't moving a long as fast as Nina's. However a few started to look almost like they were getting blight. I crushed up about (5) 81mg baby aspirins and put them in about a gallon of water in the sprayer and sprayed just the ones that looked like the leaves were turning brown. In less then a day they look much better. The aspirin pushes the plants immune system to kick into high gear. They said you can do this to Tomatoes, Potatoes, and Eggplants. On a side note Nina you can bury 90% of those tall potatoes. Just leave a little bit to continue reaching for the sun.
Thanks! That is valuable information. I'm going to add more soil in the next day or two. I wasn't sure as I am still learning, so I wanted to do it in stages.
GREAT 👍 IDEA!
Your garden will do good. Growing up we hardly planted anything until late April, early May. The soil usually is not warm enough for the plants to grow much and cut worms usually won't bother them in warm soil...
I'm in my potatoes 🥔just started coming up
Your toe maters look good ! Mine are dragging azz think my grow room got a tad cool
your so fine, hope you do HLC some this year.
I've grown my spuds in growbags for the last 3/4 years.. it's just easier for me. My approach is the no messing about, I put 3 inches of soil at the bottom, place my spuds inside then simply fill the 40L growbag to the top with soil. I've always had good results.
With store bought tatters there is a spray on them to inhibit growth, if soaked in water for a day fixes the problem. Remember when cutting with a knife-" cut towards your chum, never your thumb, you can get another chum but never another thumb "
I'm in for a challenge 50* north 100 West
You could also hill the small plants, they would benefit greatly. I would just about bury them, leaving just a bit of foliage uncovered. They love it and will just about catch up with the bigger ones! Good luck.
Interesting! I thought that would smother them LOL. I'll be adding a lot more soil this week! We'll see a little of it in the transplanting process. My babies are ready to be outside!
@@NinaRynd210 This isn't advised for all plants. I'm reffering to the potatoes.
That is right. Actually the larger potato plants needed to have been hilled several days ago before they got as big as they are now. No big deal though. They should still make potatoes. When you hill them you are creating a place for the actual potatoes to form and grow. If you wait too long it will cut down on production.
😘😘😘😘😘😘
👍👍👍
Amazing
Don't know the challenge,but he'll I'm down. Lol
Yes! Always hill the potato’s. They will produce more! Plant those potatoes that you can dig early. New potatoes. Don’t have to skin them. Cook with Green beans potatoes and bacon!
First row looking good don't know what's going on with the others how's the carrots coming out catch you next time 👍
When your taters are ready to harvest, dig into the side of the mound cover back up they will keep producing.☺
You can easily raise the sides of your beds. Just put a n 8 inch piece of 2x2 or 2x4 on inside of each corner leaving half of it above. Then attach boards as needed.
I might have to, these things are growing 2 inches a day!
Another way people grow potatos is in tires u add tires full of dirt on top to do the mounding as the plant grows to harvest u lift off the tires and sift thru the dirt for the potatos
Want be long and Nina will have that farmer’s tan 😅
North florida here
Seems like I read somewhere that potatoes that are going to market for consumption are treated with something to inhibit their ability to sprout and regrow . That may be why your kitchen potatoes are smaller than the seed potatoes .
This is the first time I've bought seed potatoes, so the last few times I planted was with kitchen potatoes. It's always worked out pretty well.
Love that shorts pants grl
Hey, do you think maybe thinning out how many you have, they might have more room to grow more tatos? I don’t know, I haven’t don’t potatoes before, I thought that you put like 3 plants in a 6 g pot and that whole pot would end up being potatoes. I’m sure you’ve done this before, I just thought I’d suggest that when you said you are aware it’s a bit over crowded, sometimes making room for the garden really helps.
Nina the plants will like it
Wow
👏👏👏👏🖐🖐🖐
Going to try the same thing. But potatoes have only been in the pot for 2 weeks
We just hilled ours up also
Beautiful lady
I don't plan on planting a potato (the democratic party did that for me anyway), but I did watch and enjoy this entire video.
Who will help me eat the potatoes? I will help you eat the potatoes says Freddie. Nina your garden is going great guns. Make sure the dang yellow jackets do not dig down into them. I had that experience once upon a time.
growing up , we had about 3 feet between our potato plants and had to dig up an area of about 2 ft. across ( per plant ) to get them at harvest time. i cant help but wonder if you are crowding yours a lil bit.
Rain is a good thing
morning Nina show :)
Potatoes aren't picky on soil, I've grown them in wood chips and again in dirt... They grow just the same in each. Just dont over water them.
🌷🌷
Had to take a screen shot of your raised beds. They are just what I wanted. Tried to comment on that video but that section was turned off.
Sorry about that! We're transplanting all the babies in a few days. More garden videos soon.
I still think you should pursue a small farm on the out part of the city....Homestead it and if need be live in a double wide trailer if no house is on the property.... I know might be a set in the luxury of life but I believe you might be happier in the long run!!!
I miss hearing the train from the old place.
Me too!
Hi
please where you from
And thanks for your teaching and interest in agriculture 🚜
I planted my potatoes in plastic laundry baskets, as the grow I just cove them with potting soil and straw.
Nice!
👍👌
I am from Saudi Arabia, is this cultivation possible for us?
