Hi I am completely new to gardening and I watched your other video a few weeks ago about potatoes. I also ordered 4 30 litre containers from Oakland. Can anyone advise me whether I need a special soil to grow potatoes in the containers, I bought Saxon potatoes, simply because I didn’t know which ones were best, any advice would be great, thank you
Agreed. Im set up for spring planting but this granulated fertilizer caught me off guard. I thought you just used blood and bone , which i stocked up on. Do you have a brand name for the granulated potato fertilizer? I'm in Canada
i really like the fact that in your videos you get on with the subject matter and you dont spend the first 5 minutes talking about your personal life nor irrelevant random subject matter, and you keep your personal matters or history to just the odd videos. also you are very concise and to the point, you dont waffle on for half an hour saying what could be easily said in 10 minutes.
I’ve noticed that too and appreciate it. Every word and sentence is golden and to the point. I really appreciate you Tony, you’ve taught me a lot. Thank you
I never had much success with potatoes in the high, dry Southwest desert until I considered containers. Your videos on this topic are EXCELLENT and truly appreciated. I hope others are inspired to adopt this approach. Thank you!!! 🌱 😎👍
I live in the US and I have container envy! Those look so sturdy and well-built! I am resorting to felt gro-bags and plastic storage bins and maybe the odd cardboard box this year. This is "experiment year" and I am trying a little bit of everything to see what works. This is my first vegetable garden at our current house and, wow, I had forgotten how intense the setting up is!😊
One of the best potato vids for those who may have missed it was when you showed how some potato peels in your compost produced 71.6 pounds of gorgeous potatoes. I would have had a fit I’d be so happy! Really cool to see that.
Last year my new raised bed produced Winston potatoes suffering scab and slug damage. I had to throw quite a few away and the rest looked bad and could not store. So this year I followed your advice bought some Charlotte potatoes and planted them in containers. My first three tubs have produced perfect scab and slug free potatoes. We can eat them all. Many thanks.
Hi Tony, I’m retiring next year so thought I’d start learning how to grow vegetables properly as I’ll have so much free time, so pleased I found your channel. The way you explain everything in detail really has helped so much in my understanding of what’s required. I will be mainly using the same 30 litre tubs as you so the information you give is invaluable. Thanks so much.
Never managed to get container-grown potatoes to do much, but, after watching this and your other videos, I have high hopes for this, and future years.
You're an absolute legend, sir! Your videos are so informative and straightforward. I've just got my first half-plot this year, and I've got my potatoes chitting ready to do them with your methods. Thanks so much!
Last year I did the grow bags use 12 litres of compostwith one potato then I hilled them in the bags as they grew. What a chore that was. I had a poor harvest as well. Too much mulch not enough soil. This year like you said I fill the bag right up I use the same size bag and use 17 litres of soil for one potato and put the seed deeper. Then covered with a leaf Mold mulch it took 30 days but they are coming up sooner than my ground planted potatoes. Thanks for the tips.
I’m showing these videos to my Danish gardening pals here near Copenhagen, they are most impressed and it’s all relevant to our latitude. Many thanks and keep them coming 👍😀
I love the plant it and forget about it, not hilling. I know I don't have time to do that. Your videos on potatoes are so informative and well done. Thank you.
I'm growing potatoes for quite a few years now, but your videos are really very informative to say the least. I just finished planting my early taters in my greenhouse, but in full ground, the late potatoes will go into both containers and ground. Thanks a lot for all the time you invest in teaching people to grow their own food... we'll all need it very soon I'm afraid..... Can you try a video on growing potato seedlings from seed????????
Thanks for organising discount for containers. Gutted to have just missed out on original offer. Ordered now. Chuffed to bits. Have to just successfully grow spuds now 🙈
Received code on Monday ordered 10 pots Tuesday afternoon dispatched Wednesday morning received email 08:00 today that they were with the courier to be delivered between 08:00-18:00 today, they were delivered this morning before 09:00 couldn't ask for more than that. Thank you Tony now on to planting my potatoes also using two of the pots for lemon and lime trees. Already have two apple trees, cherry tree, plum tree, grape vine and fig in exactly the same pots which I bought about 5 years ago and they still look like new.
Thanks for sharing your video! Your garden is beautiful. I’m a gardener too and I’m researching all the things I can grow in containers. I’m happy it led me to find you. I’m so happy it did your channel has so much to offer! This is very helpful. Thanks for teaching me something new. I hope we can learn more from each other as we grow our gardens and our channels!
Another excellent vid. Am currently in December growing potatoes in the house in the smaller grow bags and I really prefer those containers you use. If I could find bigger containers I know I’d get a bigger crop per bag. Doing all I can to get some kind of food producing here. Have some outside too but after this heavy winter storm I’m sure they’re done for now. I enjoy your channel it’s got the best content, along with Huw Richards also. Thank you again.
I have never thought of putting wire over the top for growing through. I have a big roll of that so it won't cost me anything. Tfs. Happy growing everybody. Take care everyone and stay safe 😘😊🤗
We are new to gardening. There is a lot to learn. This is a lot helpful for us to try to grow potatoes . Thank you very much. Have a wonderful day. Happy gardening 👍🙏going to watch more of your videos after this. 👍
Wow, what an amazing video! I've watched several videos on UA-cam about growing potatoes in containers and this is much more informative and practical than anything I've seen. I will absolutely be using your tips this year. Thank you.
Excellent video Tony!! As always I never leave with a question because you always anticipate what we'll need to know!! I'm so impressed!! Ran out of fingers...I got a great giggle out of that! 🤣 My index finger is so short...I'm sure it will work all the same though! LOL Your video library is a fabulous resource for potatoes and everything else! Well worth the look for everyone! That price is awesome...Here its prohibitive pricing....I have to plant in the ground. It's not just the pots, its my access to compost and the high shipping fees to get it to me! Apartment living with no vehicle can be tricky...All the same, I've learned a lot, and I won't always be here! Thanks so much for the education! Have a great day.. see you on the live tonight! 💖
You da man Tony....I have nothing more to say....except there's a few things here which I did and didn't do so we'll see how well the potatoes turn out later in the year.
Great tips! I'm relatively new to planting potatoes and used a 10.10.10 and I totally agree when I saw the leaves I was like WOW I'm gonna have a ton of potatoes. Not the case. This year I look for something for more of a root fertilizer.
Great video. Would you consider a video on watering tomatoes or growing tomatoes in containers (greenhouse)? its only my second year growing - had trouble knowing how much water to use last year and not sure if the containers were suitable. Crop was ok but not great. I have purchased larger, 50cm pots this year for the tomatoes so hoping this will help.
Brilliant video. Thanks for your tip not to use chicken manure. I planted 3 buckets of Charlotte spuds last week and as I was using recycled compost I added some chicken manure pellets - never mind! I will be sowing some Rocket spuds tomorrow and will omit it this time.
I really love your videos, simple clear and reasonable. I have a completely shaded yard soon as trees bloom so I can’t grow anything but love watching. Thank you for the videos
Hey Estella. glad your enjoying the videos I have many of them so ensure to dig around or even type what your looking for into search and add simplify gardening to the end
I love your knowledge of potato growing Tony, thanks for sharing it. I didn't realise you had a newsletter, this is relevant to my interests😁 Take care 😊

Cheers tony Just ordered another 10 30litre containers now I have 20 in total. I just used the discount code simplify30 I thort about it and will save more space using 20 containers than putting the potatoes in rows Cheers 🥔🍺
Those pots look identical to the 30 liter ones that I use. I love them due to the position of the handles and the type of plastic they are made of. It seems to have a rubber content, not your usual brittle plastic that cracks. They are flexible and hold up very well. Made in Italy. Used to be able to find them at my garden store but they no longer carry them and shipping is expensive. Are these indeed the same pots? Thanks for great content! Planning my German Butterball planting as we speak.
Great stuff, thanks Tony! Extra tips: 1. Mark 1/3 points on cane to ease staged filling of 30L tubs. 2. Cut compost bags in half (rather that at top) to halve the weight. 3. Cut off corners of compost bag halves (for drainage) and use as extra planters. 4. Write label on white plastic insulating tape with sharpie and stick under rim of 30L tubs (out of sun and rain). 5. Put washer for scrubbing off extra chits on string around neck. 6. One edge of washer will be sharper due to pressing, so mark and use this. 7. Cut a donut shape from a bit of old chipboard with inner circle the size of tub bottoms and outer circle the size of tops, then use as template on soil, digging out middle for hole into which to drop tub, and using outer circle to help with spacing. ...

Tony as usual a fantastic video. I love the last tip because you have provided all we need to know. Wish I could get those pots at £3 each what a bargain you have attained for UK viewers so thank you even though I’m not over there. I loved seeing the blossom on your tree in the hoop house very pretty.
I live in kenya. I dont the type of potatoes that are grown here. How tell the difference between determinate and indeterminate potatoes. I am highly inspired by your videos.
I'm sorry I keep appearing in your feed 🤣 tony. I used straw last year in my builders buckets after watching your content. And it helped a lot with keeping the moisture in. But now I'm an allotment holder with more area to cover, could I use spent mushroom compost to mulch my 🥔? Many thanks again mate, aka Tony the garden guru 💪❤️ your channel
Hi Tony you have inspired me with growing in buckets. I am wondering once your potatoes have grown will you use the same compost from the buckets to grow more potatoes?
Hi Tony, I discovered your UA-cam channel recently and I have to say, I'm learning so much from you. Thank you very much for all the valuable information you share. I am going to start growing potatoes for the first time, and I feel like I'm armed with so much knowledge thanks to you. I was hoping you might have some advice for me. I'm chitting some potatoes that I don't know if they are determinate or indeterminate. I got them from a local farm shop and really wanted to grow them myself. I'm unsure whether to plant 2 or 4 in the 30L buckets. What would you do?
Great video my friend. I'm going to try this.. Thanks for sharing.. Do i put holes on the bottom of the container as well ?? Or just down low on the sides? Thanks again..
Love your vids Mate Do you have a list of what are determinate and which are indeterminate potatoes please I have started using the tubs as you recomend but not sure which to plant 4 of and which to plant 2 of plus you mix feed in bottom of container for the 1st 2 seed potatoes so do you duplicate the same process again for the top 2 Cheers

@@audrey-654 compost will be fine
I've said it before and I'll say it again. You're the best source for potato expertise on UA-cam.
Thanks mate really appreciate that
Agreed. Im set up for spring planting but this granulated fertilizer caught me off guard. I thought you just used blood and bone , which i stocked up on. Do you have a brand name for the granulated potato fertilizer? I'm in Canada
Tony is the potato guru.
Agreed. I've been sending his videos to everyone who even mentions wanting to start growing potatoes

Yes! Please please tell me if you find a US source for these? I found gro pro brand that seem to be similar but don't have the handles :(
I buy my sturdy plastic pots from a hydroponics store. Try shopping in one of those.

Hi Tony, I discovered your UA-cam channel recently and I have to say, I'm learning so much from you. Thank you very much for all the valuable information you share. I am going to start growing potatoes for the first time, and I feel like I'm armed with so much knowledge thanks to you.
I was hoping you might have some advice for me. I'm chitting some potatoes that I don't know if they are determinate or indeterminate. I got them from a local farm shop and really wanted to grow them myself. I'm unsure whether to plant 2 or 4 in the 30L buckets. What would you do?
Thats great Maddy, welcome to the channel and I'm glad your enjoying it
Maddie give the farm shop a call do you have the name of the seed potatoes that would help find out looking on line if the farm shop can’t help.
You are doing an awesome job. Thank you
Great video my friend. I'm going to try this.. Thanks for sharing.. Do i put holes on the bottom of the container as well ?? Or just down low on the sides? Thanks again..

Love your vids Mate
Do you have a list of what are determinate and which are indeterminate potatoes please
I have started using the tubs as you recomend but not sure which to plant 4 of and which to plant 2 of plus you mix feed in bottom of container for the 1st 2 seed potatoes so do you duplicate the same process again for the top 2
