I am an expert at sprouting potatoes. I put them in my pantry and then whenever I need one they are sprouted! Easy peasy

Great video but as an extremely lazy man I can certify this video as clickbait. This guy has never seen a lazy day in his life. 😂

I have a friend who threw her potatoes in the forest and covered them with a pile of leaves. She got a harvest!

450lb from 48 tubs is amazing, average over 9lb per tub, I got 9 lb in one tub but most were 6-8lb, first season growing spuds in tubs but I'm a definate convert, cheers Tony

My father built a wooden storage building in the back yard for storing garden tools, the lawnmower, etc. It was about 10 x 10. On each side, he built wooden shelves about 2 feet deep all the way down each side. Then he nailed boards along the edges to make a lip. When he harvested potatoes, he'd let them lay in the yard in the sun until completely dry. Then he'd put them on the shelves in the building, keeping them in a single layer. If there was going to be a hard freeze during the winter, he'd run an extension cord to the building with a shop light. That was just enough heat to keep the potatoes from freezing. We'd have potatoes all winter and into the spring. He would pick out seed potatoes from the ones left.<br><br>As far as planting, if a seed potato had more than one eye sprouting, he would cut the potato into pieces with an eye on each piece. This made the seed potatoes go further, and we always had plenty of potatoes. We almost never bought any at the grocery store.

I grew up with a dad who was obsessed with growing his own food. Ill be honest, I thought I knew everything but seeing this makes me question that very much. This was very educational and very interesting. thank you for putting in all the work prior to this video.

Yrs ago my garden rows were 300 ft long ( 100 yards ) I always planted 6 rows of potatoes. <br>Harvest time we had an assembly line going. I would start Turing them over with a pitch fork , my wife would grab the vines and shake out the potatoes and throw vines into a pile. My 2 oldest kids would pick up potatoes and put them into a garden trailer while my youngest would gather all the vines and haull away.<br>We would work at it till they all were dug.<br>We cured them a few days so the skins would toughen up , fill up my truck bed with a load , drive out to the highway and usually within an hour or two I could sell an entire truck load. <br>BUT , if you ask any of my kids today whom are all in their 30s if they want to dig potatoes, they'll tell you quickly THE ONLY POTATOES THEY'RE DIGGING IS OUT OF THE BIN AT THE GROCERY STORE 😂
