Boy do you needs wood chips. It would help your weed issues.

Commend your effort in posting this video of a mess of a garden and commentary.
both will improve with experience. -
Add some manure and a little sand this winter.. to make your soil better.. I use straw as a weed block in a small gardern.

Why do I feel like I am watching a news report?

Crappy looking garden. You should call this slum gardening. Less talk and commercials and more attention to your garden. Maybe your yields and plants would not be so crappy.

your garden is a mess.. maybe a bit less advertising and and a bit more elbowgrease..

Sometimes I feel like I am watching PBS when watching your program :) Great Show.. :)

Great video! I'm gonna try that onion tip, cutting back the tops a bit and see how it goes, this is my first time growing onions!

Great video, I agree with Lark:) I subscribed

Wow, that's a pretty weedy garden, the soil is so dry, you may find if you try mulching, or perhaps weeding your garden at least once thru the season you may find a better and tastier yield. The weeds are pulling nutrients, water, and flavor from your potatoes.
With better mulching and weed care you may find also that your ground will not get so hard, less need for using a garden fork. I think it would represent those types of potatoes much better. Good luck -
good work

Main crop spuds have an average 1# seed to 15# harvest ratio. Less is more common and more is rare(depending on weather). Also hilling them 2-3 times will help.

Great video! Our onions were a bit on the small side this year, too. Our petite french carrots were a little 'hairy', and as you mentioned, too much nitrogen. The soil needs to be amended. We are looking to do straw bales next spring and I'm really glad to see how well your plants did in one. Very encouraging. We grew our potatoes in feed bags this year and we'll finally find out how well they did tomorrow or Friday. The Purple Majesty grew HUGE plants whereas the russets (I forget the name) seemed to struggle the entire growing season. It should be interesting to see what grew underneath. Thanks again for a great video, my fellow Wisconsinites!

If you continue to amend your soil with leaves & grass clippings (LASAGNA GARDENING) like you did last Fall, in a few years your soil will be better. Good luck and happy gardening. Oh...veggies do not like to compete with weeds. That could be part of the reason you had small yields.

Our potato and onion harvest looked a lot like yours did. Too much rain for us this year, our garden soil was never able to dry out.--Kim
