    We have been growing potatoes vertically for the last few years, and the GreenStalk vertical garden potatoes are one of the ways we love to do vertical gardening.
    When you have limited gardening space, and you still want to grow fruits and vegetables that would otherwise take up more room than you have to allocate, vertical gardening, and specifically the GreenStalk vertical gardening system might be a good option for you.
    This season we grew several varieties of potatoes in our GreenStalk, including: Growing purple magic molly potatoes, growing adirondack red potatoes, growing charlotte potatoes, and growing yellow finn potatoes.
    I will tell you ahead of time, one of the varieties did not perform as well as the others, but, we still got a great overall hearvest, and we will continue growing potatoes vertically in the future as well.
    Don't forget to check out the GreenStalk Coupon code listed above and below.
    Thank you so much for watching this 2023 potato harvest video!

    Never thought to use my Greenstalks for potatoes. It's funny because we gardeners will grow $20 worth of potatoes in a $150 container just to see if we can.🤣

    You can grow in 4 tiers instead of 5 and build 5 planters using 4 sets (just buy extra base and water reservoir). That’s what I’m doing because of concerns for wind and bc I am short.

    We grow fingerling potatoes in our Green Stalks. Because we are in our 70s it's easier to handle smaller veggies and fruits. Easier to cook and make different dishes without to much prep time which hurts our old hands. We enjoy your videos, thank you for sharing.

    • @GutenGardening
      @GutenGardening  Рік тому +2

      That is a great reasoning and now I am thinking forward to next season and thinking maybe we could continue our fingerlings in one of the GreenStalks. Thank you so much for the comment and for watching!

    Nice harvest my friend.
    Confession time: I ordered two more GreenStalks yesterday (darn sales! ;-). But I did give a couple away recently.
    I've noticed the bottom tier is sometimes dryer than the others. I usually just plant marigolds and nasturtiums down there.

    Don't get me started on the failures 😢
    My potato season is basically done before it started. Planted in August(last month of winter), it came up beautiful and strong. Then, heatwave upon heatwave. Lost more than 3/4 of all my potatoes. I am very sad. But I am very happy you are beating last year's failures. I will live my harvesting fantasies through your videos. I'm impressed with these greenstalk gardens.

    So how many pounds of potatoes did you harvest out of there? I'm also curious how many pounds you harvest in an average year?

  • @brookelahr5396
    @brookelahr5396 Рік тому +2

    Any idea how many lbs you ended up with? Just curious about how many in vs how many out. Thx!

    • @GutenGardening
      @GutenGardening  Рік тому +2

      Great question! I didn’t weigh in the bottom row because it failed, so out of 4 tiers, we got about 11.25 pounds, so not quite 3 pounds per tier but I would say maybe a 3 times investment on what we planted in those tiers.

  • @tulipsmoran5197
    @tulipsmoran5197 8 місяців тому +1

    Just thinking...when planting the seed potato rather than planting in the middle of the pocket or near the edge of the pocket, I'm going to try planting the seed potato at the point the pocket meets the interior area and leave the pocket open with 4" or so on the pocket bottom. I'm thinking the shallow pocket will lure the new plant growth out into the pocket and then cover the plant green as it continues to grow till soil reaches the top of the pocket. The strategy is that the seed potato roots will have a larger area that would stimulate stolen along the stems. I don't hill my determinate potatoes but I think growing the potato plant at an angle out and upward may lead to more tubers... Share your thoughts.

    • @nharber9837
      @nharber9837 Місяць тому

      What would be the benefit over other types of container gardening (genuinely curious)? It seems at first blush anyway that if you were going to single level them, that you might save some money and have more space if you bought some storage totes and drilled holes in those instead. What are you thinking of as the added value there for using the green stalk / vertical planter as a set of containers? If you’re seeing something I’m not please share, I’d love to learn from you! 😊

    What soil do you use please? I've grown potatoes, but they are sometimes tiny. Do you fertilize as well?

    • @GutenGardening
      @GutenGardening  5 місяців тому +3

      We have two types of potting mix we have used for our potatoes. One is a homemade mix of peat moss, coco coir, worm castings, native soil, and perlite. The other is organic Miracle Grow potting mix that we have purchased on sale for very cheap at the ends of gardening seasons. This video has that second mix in it. We fertilize at time of planting with bone meal and an all purpose fertilizer and then fertilize twice throughout the gardening season.

      At the same point, if you don't have any space, it's the difference between having potatoes and not having any at all.
