Another potato harvest from the containers, this time it's 90 days of growing since planting. Harvested another pot of Nicola and the first test pot of Anya. Reasonably happy with the Nicola but very surprised with the Anya, although a little small there were absolutely loads of potatoes, and in another week or two there should be a good 5 pounds from each pot.

Hello my friend,can u tell me what is the best way to store some of the potatoes we harvest so we can plant it back next year,thx,Bob.

You let the tops die (turn brown). Once you they turn brown, let them stay for 5 to 10 days then dig them up.

What do you do with the soil from the pots after you harvest? Do you reuse it? Thanks!

Fold your bag half way backwards, and drop the taters in it instead of on the ground, pull on up by the handles when done then you only have to move them once. I'm always looking for short cuts to work. lol

great harvest 👍

I liked your video of the 70 + lbs of potatoes in containers, what is your mix?

HOW MANY POTATO IN BUCKET HARVEST? HOW LONG IT GROW ON BUCKET POTATO? DO SOIL STILL HAS NUTRIENS? :3

a nice pot of boiled potatoes, mix with greens beans & bacon. YUM

THE GREAT OF GROWING PLANTS IN POTS, IS THAT WHEN IT FROSTES YOU CAN MOVE THEM INDOORS, THAT'S HOW I DO AND DON'T SEE BIG DIFFRENCE FROM PEOPLE WHO GROW THEM OUTSIDE, OF COURSE OUTSIDE YOU GET MORE, BUT INDOORS YOU GET A PRETTY GOOD HARVEST TOO. GREAT VIDEOS TO WATCH IT TEACHES US THE DO'S AND DON'TS. THANK FOR SHARING!!!

I am in the Dales too. Sarpo was good for me in the ground in a dry year. Will try your pot method to save space. Where do you get your 30L pots?

The thing I don't get is how these little Potatos can shake the cam so much lol hahaha

Love Anya! My fave! Thanks :)

New potatoes, yumm, do you put your 'used' dirt in your compost pile?

Yay!! "Can't be doin' with this metric rubbish" - I thoroughly agree!

Hi Dan! Thanks much for your channel. Top notch.
What do you do with the soil after harvest, and if you can reuse it, what's the process? Is it peatmoss mix?
Cheers, Henry

Very nice haul you had there. Well done.

Still nice green, let them grow another month .

Hi- I just wondered how many seed potatoes you put in each container to start with. Thanks. Great vid by the way.

Dan, do you reuse any of the soil you use in your containers?

why are they so small...
