Harvest time for five seed potatoes planted in one dustbin. In this video I show you how many potatoes I harvested from my black plastic container planted with five seed potatoes. Not a fantastic harvest but every one of them was totally delicious. Potatoes can be grown in many types of containers from plastic bags to large containers. Ideal for those of us who have restricted space in their garden and love the taste of fresh own grown potatoes. I have even had potatoes growing in my compost bin from old potatoes thrown out to be composted! Join me over at http://www.youtube.com/user/capney for many more videos on many more subjects.

Would have preferred you for tipping the bucket!!

It would be so much more interesting if more information was given i.e. What variety of potato, when planted, when this harvest took place, what if any fertiliser was added, was they are planted in, soil or compost or a mixture. This particular video was very poorly filmed and presented with no real close ups. I rated this clip 4 out of 10, must do better!. Regarding the yield, not a very good yield for such a large container and five spuds, I would have expected a better yield from three potatoes in a container half the size. Try harder.next time.

That's an excellent harvest from a few seed potatoes. I'm hoping to have a nice harvest in time for Christmas :)

I just go from video to video watching people dig up the potato. it's quite exciting.

looks expensive for so little yeild

So potatoes grow leaves?? I planted some in a bucket!! But forgot to punch some holes for drainage!! Australia here!!

do you have to water every day in a trash can?

I plant mine in ground but we usually cut one potato in half or third and get a great yield.

Does the bin need to have holes in it?
Thanks,

How long from the time you planted until you harvested?? I have a bunch of potatoes with large sprouts. Time to plant indoors maybe

Great job on your potato harvest. I'm planning on growing potatoes for the first time this year

Hey did you plant ur potatoes at the top of the bin? cuz youre supposed to plant them at the bottom and gradually bring up the soil level

Wish I had a green thumb like you or even the patience to grow produce like that! People like you feed the world!

Hmm do potatoes need that much sunlight or water??? Or it's just water that they need the most...and one more thing...where area can I grow potatoes??? Shady areas????😂

dont you have to wait till all the leaves fall off

Hi,

Thank you for the brilliant video , I'm really impressed , has made me want to try and grow my own .

Thanks

Did you use any fertilizer? Dung? Sand? I love your video. I'm trying to grow potato's indoors (for winter.)

Hello, was hooked after discovering a pail full of unexpected potatoes in a house I moved to...am about to plant some eyes in a fibreglass potato growing bag. Just wondered if my shady back yard would do - do potato plants need full sun or should I plant at the narrow front of house border facing south. Thanks for video!

How long did you wait before you can harvest them? Thank you...

Strange how some videos get very popular. For me it,s this short I made a few ago. Maybe it,s the time of year.
