Haven't we all Self Potato'ed?
the good thing about potatoes is that you can plant them twice a year

I’ll bet he’s big enough to harvest a whole garden of potatoes now. LOL
i’m learning so much from youtube as i am just starting out with my suburban homestead. i see your puppy in some videos and the it’s almost full grown in some so i see you’ve been at it for a while I appreciate all your videos.
I’m sure you gave good advice, but I was completely distracted by your puppy!
nice vid thanks… and dammit that dog it so cute! haha
thx for the suggestions. not sure what a T-tape is? thx, eri c
I have a question, when you dig the potatoes what happens to your T-tape?
I grow an acre of potatoes, all different varieties certified organic. Some words of advice, unless you want a colorado potato beetle infestation, and deficiency of nutrients, it would be wise to do crop rotations every year. Tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, peppers are all part of the nightshade family, so do not rotate with any of those, their pests and nutrient requirements are all the same. We are experimenting with store bought fingerling potatoes and they seem to be fine so fare.
sure. i’d plant the potatoes in a different spot every other year or so. thanks for watching, eri c.
I have a question about the soil…can you reuse the soil for planting potatoes again?
Please can you add a transcript? or subtitles? I am deaf
there are some really beautiful green areas in the americas.
good point. i have had success with store bought potatoes, but it is good practice to buy seed potatoes from a garden supplier. thx, eric.
potatoes bought from the store are not a good source of seed since they are not tested for disease.
