  My grandfather dug a deep trench and totally removed the soil he removed. He then lined the trench with about four inches of straw. He dropped in the seed potatoes and then covered the potatoes with about four inches of straw and watered them down. He added four inches of straw every time the potatoes starting growing above the level of the last layer of straw. At harvest time he collected the now decomposing straw &nbsp;and put it in much pile then used it again, along with fresh straw when planting next year. Few weeds, easy harvesting and planting. Lots of nice potatoes fantastic drainage

  It’s easier to put the bean pods in an old pillowcase and pound the bag. Not too hard but firmly enough that the beans leave the pods. 😊

  This approach not only reduces dependency on supermarkets but also connects families to traditional methods of food preservation, such as root cellaring and drying. It&apos;s a practical and inspiring reminder of how planning and thoughtful crop selection can contribute to food security and healthier, homegrown diets.<br><br>The video underscores the value of self-reliance, teaching useful skills that promote resilience and reduce waste.

  Sweet potato leaves are so good! Treat them like spinach, they are not bitter at all. …one of our favorite greens. I also dry lots of the leaves for use over winter.

  At our local Walmart in their cake decorating department we can get the icing buckets for a dollar and they’re always clean and ready to go. I choose to put all of my potatoes and zucchini in those buckets zucchini so they’re off the ground and don’t get moldy as fast. and potatoes because they’re easier to dig up. I literally just dump the dirt into one of my raised beds and then pull out the potatoes without any kind of digging or anything and no pitchfork. Also, our city collects all of our leaves and twigs and makes it into free compost so for a dollar and a seed potato I’ve got a pretty good garden.

  Here is a smart idea my husband came up with several years ago. &nbsp;When you are in your 60s and your back is not what it use to be you have to work smarter. Dig your potatoes with your tractor bucket. &nbsp;Put your tractor bucket parrel to your potato bed and take the buck deep into the potatoes plants and bring up the dirt, potaotes and plant in the bucket. &nbsp;Then you pick the potatoes out of the tractor bucket, {so you are not having to bend over) leaving the plant and dirt in the bucket to be dumped back into the place you just dug it up. &nbsp;Move tractor and repeat. &nbsp;when finished put the boxes or crates full of potatoes into the tractor bucket and haul to the house. We grow several hundred lbs every year. &nbsp;We only grow reds. &nbsp;They do better for us in the wet warm springs of southern Oklahoma. &nbsp;We plant potatoes in late Feb and have to dig before the plants die off. Due to our wet springs and potatoes rotting in the ground. &nbsp;<br>Always enjoy your videos

  Bush beans are easier to harvest for dried beans - pull up the whole lot when the plant is done. Climbing beans are great for continuous harvest green beans

  Beet tops are nutritious and delicious. You can selectively harvest tops and continue to leave the rest of the plant for harvest later. Tastes like spinach without the &quot;bite&quot; that sometimes happens. Enjoy!
