  • Come along as we discuss how to grow potatoes in containers, including tips for obtaining and chitting (sprouting) seed potatoes, their preferred soil, water and growing conditions, and how to plant and care for them. We personally love growing them in fabric smart pot grow bags, but potatoes can be grown in a variety of methods and containers! This video was made to accompany a blog post that includes more written instructions, photos, and information than provided here. Check it out below!

    Wow, I am so grateful you posted this video! I was planning on planting potatoes this weekend, and man, my game plan was polar opposite to what you were recommended. They would have failed! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    Can’t wait to try growing potatoes this year. Funny, my husbands says the same thing, potatoes are so cheap at the store, why grow it? But... he finally caved, so we will be trying it soon.

    you inspired me to try this this year. got grow bags for Christmas. started my yukons and some reds a few weeks ago. bought another bag of red seed potatoes, might have to start those as well. do you succession sow or just batch, harvest and batch again?? LOVE the UA-cam channel, cant wait to see it grow more. Been a fan of your garden for a while now. I remember when you put the pollinator garden in! THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!!!

    Thank you, so much information here. I will be using a fabric grow bag to grow my potatoes on a sometimes sunny patio in the UK...I will definitely use straw!
    I agree about growing your potatoes at home because at least that way you know the produce history.

    This is so helpful! I didn't plant mine low enough. Think I can dig em up and start over? The leaves have just broken the surface

    I was wondering... i would like to eat as fresh as possible. Could you also harvest what you eat? Or.. when you harvest it al. How long does it stay well?

    Hey Danika, I live in SoCal zone 9b Simi Valley. I ordered a ton of varieties of seed potatoes and even Clancy Potato seed. I have all 3 type: early, intermediate and late harvest, and they should be delivered in March from Potato Lady in Maine.
    My question is, would I plant all 3 types at the same time and harvest at the different times of year? Or do they all get planted at different times of year? This may be a dumb question, but you’re dealing with a Brady who has TBI.

      I would plant them all at the same time and harvest them as they mature at different rates.

    Did I possibly miss what size grow bag you are using?

    • @HomesteadandChill
      @HomesteadandChill  2 роки тому

      We typically use anywhere from 10 gallon to 20 gallon grow bags.

    Seems very overcrowded to me. I would have put less than half that. This is the first time I've heard about the acidic soil though.
