The MOST INSANE Raised Bed Potato Harvest!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 сер 2024
- Earlier this year we planted three different potato varieties in our in-ground garden and four different varieties in our raised bed garden. We wanted to see how the raised bed production would differ from the in-ground production, and boy was there a difference!
Join us as we harvest the last row of in-ground potatoes and one of the four varieties that we planted in the raised beds. We'll weigh the harvest from each variety, talk about our return on investment for seed potatoes, and try to explain why this one was variety had such insane production!

Thanks Travis
seein u and ur kid do this together was so sweet, awsome video
IT’S TATER TIME!!!!!! Great video!
Fantastic harvest.
LOVE TATOR TIME!!! Big tip of the hat to Travis, easily the best teacher of gardening on UA-cam!
very fun potato plant, thank you for sharing, friend, the video is very interesting.
Nice harvest T!
This channel should have alot more subs, this is one of my favorite channels to watch.
Nice harvest,
Thanks for the garden knowledge.
Other people always laughed at us! Till they tasted our potatoes! At digging! Always keep & separate from others! The size of a marble to size of #2 pencil eraser! Washed/put in sauce pan/ water/ salt & pepper/ cooked/ plated & real butter! AWESOMELY good! Right after digging! ❤
This year i had potatoes ans green beans co.ein at the same time...omg...they were sooo goood.
A great harvest buddy !!! I will definitely try some of those rose gold next year. I got a late start with my taters this year. As hot as it’s been here in Louisiana, I just dug my Baltic rose Saturday and had an 11 X multiple. So I was extremely excited. I scratched under a couple plants to get enough taters to go with my snap beans. Not bragging but them there were some good vittles a couple weeks ago !
@@MarkSmith-qk2rl There's nothing better than a pot of fresh green beans with some home grown taters in them.
I planted 6 pounds of potatoes this year and hilled them with mushroom compost I hope I Gert a good amount of potatoes.
We got 105# on 3# of seed potatoes and thought we really did something 😂 this year in our in ground bed. Heavily composted last fall and vermicompost tea this year
I hope I can get that kind of yield from the 3# we planted this spring!
Love little garden helpers
I get so tickled at Titus. He’s always so excited and happy out digging taders with dad. Such sweet little boys. Congratulations on the harvests!! Absolutely awesome! Mine have about another 2 weeks and I hope I’ve done half as good. Mine are all in 15gallon grow bags. Have sweet Titus say a prayer for me. lol Y’all stay blessed and awesome. All the best ~Lisa
I just found your Channel and I've watched you a few times. Love your family love your techniques love the results and you are a very good speaker. You are a lot like the Veggie Boys they have a good-sized farm in Pennsylvania but they don't use raised plant beds. I love the way y'all switch up your gardening styles. See you on the next video 👋later
37 to one is astonishing for potatoes. 15-25 per pounds is what my grandfather did after years of effort. And he depended on his crops for survival. Nothing in raised beds though where you have more controls over the environment. Thanks Travis always good stuff.
Awesome!!
Oh yeah, I see that you have 50K subscribers now! Good Job Mr. Travis! Really 1st Rate Content that you give us 3x per week and more for FREE. How lucky we are to have you and your family! Cheers, Chuck in Jensen Beach Florida.
Thank you Sir!
Planted mine on March 30. Dug up on June 21st. Dug Caribe today and got 33lbs for 1 lb planted. Still storming and flooding. My Baltic Rose plants still look good but I’m scared they will rot. Thanks again for the advice!
Impressive
Stellaaaaaa!
Lazy Dog Farm,
I know the secret as to why your raised bed did so well. And if I'm right maybe you can send me some of them taters you planted for my raised garden bed over here 😁
*The secret is that one beautiful lady helped you to plant those raised garden beds and the sweetest little angel gave it a kiss.
Congratulations on the baby by the way. She is beautiful.
Much love from Missouri.
P.S. just kidding on the potatoes but if your feeling generous in truth I wouldn't mind. Lol
Love to your family.
Notwithstanding my comments, THANK YOU as ALWAYS! Thank you dearly for sharing. You are my gardening God I aspire too.
That raised bed harvest is nuts.
Wow!
Wow Travis! That harvest is fantastic! 36X??!!
Learn something from you every episode, Sir! Thank you for taking your time to share with us via your videos! Chuck in Jensen Beach.
Travis, hope you and the family are enduring the storms well this afternoon. I'm watching it on Ryan Hall's live feed and there has been some nasty stuff flow through your area today!
Looks like you have a Derecho storm line that will hit you soon (830pm to 845pm'ish). 80mph winds. Not good. Be safe
Ryan Hall is a good help.
Here in Thomasville GA bad straight line winds have check in morning to see any damage been done, so far safe for now.
My wife showed me your photo on Facebook of the hail down there. We had hail last month and had some big holes in my cabbage leaves. The biggest damage was on the fruit of my apple and pear trees. I hope the damage is minimal.
I vine killed(desiccated) my Yukon Gold and most of my Asterix potatoes last week. I generally dig mine 12-21 days after vine kill. My Kennebec vines are still healthy and green, I'll vine kill them next week.
This has been one of the coolest Springs I can remember. We still haven't seen 90 degrees and the nights have been in the 50's to low 60's. Perfect tater growing weather. It's been good for cabbage too.
I knocked over my onion tops this morning. I'll leave them to dry for a week or more if the weather is relatively dry. Then I pull them up, trim to tops and roots off and let them get good and dry under a shed. I have some good ones for the varieties I grow, about a pound and a half maximum size.
Now you see why I like my 4 by 8 raised beds with my mushroom compost. You look so happy with your results.
Had supper with my 5yo grandson tonight and he was telling me all about potato plants, sweet potato vines and potato bugs. Got it off YT. Who knew? I thought it was all cat videos! Can't wait until my potatoes, including Baltic Rose and Caribe are ready because my little man is going to help. He might not know it yet. A little later planting this year, first week of April. Had to fight off the bugs, a couple three doses of Captain Jack's did the trick.
Cool knife. Always liked benchmade. I wound up being a spyderco guy.
Gold star for Travis. First, it's a year's supply of sweet corn out of a little postage stamp patch pf corn. And now it's a back breaking yield of beautiful potatoes out an area no bigger than a bathtub. I do believe you could plant a popsicle stick and grow a nice shade tree. I'm trying four varieties of Prairie Wood seeds and growing them in compost in seven-gallon containers, British style. Early days, but I hope for at least 12/1 return. You've got the bar set pretty high.
Thos is one item i ha e not grown. It is on my to do list to plant
Put the to do list on your refrigerator so you never forget😂
I’m growing potatoes for my first time this year in containers and I planted 4 different varieties but they are not ready to harvest yet. I may have started them a little late because I waited until after the last frost date (May 5th zone 7B) here in Virginia just over the state line from NC. The plants are looking great and I haven’t had any pest damage. I have not fertilized but I used 100% compost with lots of cow, horse, and chicken manure composted in. I hope I get a good harvest like you did in your raised bed! 😊
Omg how the kids have grown!!!
You have a great crew there!!
I harvested our first planting ever of potatoes. I planted 10lbs in a raised bed of compost and top soil. I harvested 7 pounds 😂. I lost 3 pounds. No clue what I did wrong but I'll try again next year!
Wow you where Blessed with a lot . Great job.. looking forward to next video .thank you
I love your channel! I do not have an inground garden due to space, though I do learn a lot, so your segments on raised beds and containers is greatly appreciated
Outstanding and we are a bit freaked out too! We should be harvesting our potatoes in about two weeks. We will be thrilled plus if we do half as good as you!
Looks like I'm growing a row of rose gold taters next year.. That's an outstanding harvest, wow!!
Thank you for your great channel and video's and all of the gardening info and advice it helps so many of us Travis 👍
I love your videos thanks for the gardening videos and tips your awesome and gardening is awesome am learning a lot by watching your videos keep it up and now have my own garden
Love it! I have a big row in the ground, and 6, 30 gallon grow bags of potatoes. In the bags, I filled them halfway, planted, and as they came up, I added two layers of soil on top. The plants are huge, but they still have about 30 days.
Your taters look great - nothing beats homegrown taters. Store potatoes taste a bit sad in comparison.
amazing!!!!
WOW Travis, I’m definitely trying the trench raised bed mushroom compost method 😊
Starting to be convinced you might know what the "heck" you are doing.
Pave the way 'ol Lazy Dog Farm. Pave that way!
Tomato and watermelon taste taste tests are top on my list.
Tators are those readily available thing you can always get in abundance at the groceries store.
Though home grown is always more delicious. Looks like you have sandy'ish soil down there.
Wow!😮 I planted in one of those husky, roll away storage containers... put holes in the bottom. I hope mine did as good as yours!
Just got an order from Wood Prairie of the Rose Gold looking forward to growing for a fall planting. Mine are going in a kiddie pool wish me luck😂
Raised Bed Tatar’s did really well at 37 times multiplle😊
I also see raised bed taters go deeper. Maybe that is what gives a better multiplier.
Hopefully y'all made it through the storm. We got hail and heavy winds. Praying my garden will come back. Alot of damage.
We got hit pretty hard too. Cucumber trellises are down.
Do you have videos on the different steps as you grow your potatoes and all of the other vegetables you grew? I don’t know what I need to do as my garden grows, when I should feed my plants, how much to feed the different vegetables and how much of whatever I’m feeding them.
We usually just show periodic updates as we do our three videos each week. Don't really have an entire video showing the whole process, but I like that idea.
Nothing wrong with guestimating prior harvest to add to the one row to gain overall accuracy, you know it's not zero.
Awesome. I want to be you.
Travis, what was the baking type potato that you liked so much? Thanks
Sarpo Mira?
Lazy Dog Farm -- Great harvest! Did you put rod supports in any of your Olle raised beds? I watched the videos of you building and setting up your Olle beds and it did not appear that you used any of the rods for support. Have you found any of your Olle beds to be bulging? I purchased 8 Olle beds and did not buy the rods, but see that they offer them for purchase as an add-on.
I didn't put any rod supports in them and haven't had any issues with bulging so far.
I pretty much live in the same region and my garden is doing fairly well. What are some direct sow crops that you I could still plant?
Might could do one more round of cucumbers or squash. Okra loves the heat. Sunflowers, zinnias will do fine. Besides that, not a bad idea to give a plot a rest, plant a cover crop, and get back after it in the fall.
I will be trying the raised bed targets next year .
I am looking to try onions from seeds what wood be a good time to start them should I direct seed or raise them from sets .
When would be a good time to start the seeds (zone 7B)
When do you usually plant your fall potatoes? I planted in August last year and they didn't do so great. I'm close to you in Bama.
Late August usually. Fall potatoes are never going to do as well as spring potatoes, but it's a good way to use them before they go bad if you have extras.
Travis, help please! I didn’t hill my taters well enough. Can I save the green ones to use for seed potatoes? Thanks, friend. Your handsome sons have grown So Much !!!😮
Those Baltic Rose are a pretty potato. Hope they’re good boilers….
You could probably use the green ones for seed potatoes in the fall.
@@LazyDogFarm Thank you so much. May we see your daughter again sometime? Not in this heat, but whenever? Want to “Oooh” and “Aaahhh” over her some more… ❤️😊
I've been growing taters in raised beds for the last 5 years, won't go back to anything different
That little girl is so cute.
Correction the child is referred to as a he.
That's his son, I had hair that long when I was his age and grew it back at 50 years old.😂
Please no grooming here.
How do I get stop moss from eating my garden
Could you show us how you store the potatoes please
I hope my Baltic Rose in raised bed do as well as yours!
My peppers and tomatoes keep dying, I don’t think it’s over or under watering do you have any guesses ? Only thing I can think is some type of pest attacking the roots ?
Definitely ordering my seed potatoes from wood prairie. Do you have a coupon code for them? Seed potatoes from Lowe's grew pretty plants but very few small potatoes. I won't buy them from Lowe's anymore.
We do. Here's the link: www.woodprairie.com/?ref=2c1LrVP9UKW8CB

Hi Travis, tom here out in San Diego, planted g-90 sweet corn & their doing very good except they are getting a lot of smaller stalks growing out of the main stalk, should i cut these off or leave them alone?
Those are called "suckers" and some folks swear by removing them. I usually leave them. Suckering seems to be a little more prominent with the older varieties like G-90.
Is your soil natural? If not, how did you get it to it’s consistency?
Our soil is naturally pretty sandy, but we've added a bunch of compost over the years too.
My potatoes have flowered but still very green but getting leggy (i didn't water after they flowered a 9 days ago). Is it time to harvest?
Also one had a green bulb at the tip near a flower. What is it? A tater that high?
Wait until the plants turn yellow and start to die back. If they're green, just let them sprawl and do their thing.
Mine are doing great then noticed each leaf covered with hundreds on tiny dots and tiny holes....Almost on every plant and leaf...
??????????
Question, did you slice the seed taters or did you plant them whole
We cut them into pieces about half the size of an egg.
How do you store all this harvest
Under our barn we've got a rack made with hardware cloth. We put them on there.
Where do you get your seed potatoes?
Right here: www.woodprairie.com/?ref=2c1LrVP9UKW8CB
This is off topic,but I have an onion question. If my Onions are bolting and haven't finished growing,do I pull them or what do you recommend?
Yes, pull them and eat them soon. They usually won't store very long after bolting.
No such thing as a off topic question on a garden channel.
How can you save all those potatoes varieties as seed potato for next year?
We won't save them to plant next year. We like to start with fresh, disease-free seed stock each spring. We may replant a few of these in the fall, but we'll eat and give away the rest.
Might want to change that. In Canada not too many seed potatoes were available. Keep some for just in case
@@colleenpritchett6914 crazy how the governments are restricting fertilizers and buying up farmland to keep small farmers from farming!
Taters liked your loose soil in your raised bed.
Something’s wrong with your mic on the last two videos fyi
Sounds fine on my phone.
Omg he can’t say POTATO right how awful. We are adults no children.
PS = waist N0T =/= want N0T
Great harvest.
