Why NOT to Plant Potatoes in Your Garden and other Garden Questions Answered

Tips, Tricks

1. The Q & A is awesome! Why? Because the A to the Q gives John extensive credibility in his competence, not that we have any doubts. If I have any questions, I know who to ask!
2. Hi John! I always understood diatomacious earth was made up of the skeletons of diatoms that at one very distant time lived in the ocean. Also, calcium is a mineral and it takes lots and lots of long years to degrade or alter into something else so it doesn't matter if it's fresh or not. or if you get it from your high-priced health food store or from a dollar store.
3. Instead of potatoes, plant yam or sweet potato. They grow similar underground calories, but UNLIKE potatoes, the above ground leaves and vines are edible. At our local asian store in Tucson, Yam leaves are expensive...
4. cats dont like teatree oil or coffee
5. I grow potatoes and you cant buy them this good.We gonna make America great again
6. Hey man you said when you get them from the store you only get one variety? I live in canada and we usually have all sorts of verities but i guess its not the same there. The most popular variety here is a yellow and red potato. Those little mini ones are quite popular as well.
7. omg i love the screen names hahaha
8. Potatoes are quite the thing to dig up from dirt. You're like, ew. Dirt. Whoah, potatoes! A miracle! They're easy to grow, so why not.
9. Have to disagree. Potatoes are very nutritious and tasty and if grown organically you can eat the skins. I love potatoes. Yes, they do take up a lot of room, but so does broccoli, etc.
10. Hey there love all of your videos they are full of great information.

At 6:54 you can see the little fella run up under your collar. anyway thanks for the great videos!
11. They make good vodka
12. how do you
13. I personally love sweet potatoes. You can eat their greens and I have found some varieties are grown by some people JUST for their greens. Also, there are cool weird potato varieties like the African mint potato that has a mint growing as the greens and potatoes as tubers. And, finally, even though regular potatoes do not have edible greens and are readily available in the supermarket, if the potato you bought is starting to grow out the eyes, why not just cut it up and plant it? takes 5-10 min max.
14. Potatoes are one of the easiest crops to plant and grow, even in the poorest soil conditions, and are very nutritional. In fact a medium sized potato contains 45% of daily vitamin C, and contain more potassium than a banana. They also contain protein, calcium, iron, thiamin, niacin, folate, zinc, copper, vitamin B6, phosphorus, magnesium, riboflavin, sugar, and they contain no fat or cholesterol. They would probably grow in the winter time in Las Vegas...lol.
15. Does diatomaceous earth break down over time so it doesn't harm earthworms? I want to use it in my composter because the composter attracts roaches.
16. Thousands of dollars available for growing consultants
17. This guy is great! My sister moved to Colorado and used his tips & advice on horticulture to help grow the cannabis & stevia (natural sweetner) medicine which turned her uterine cancer into self destruct mode as according to the doctors and she might still have the ability to carry babies :). Please keep these vids coming sir, Thank You, ,,Zak
18. Did you know that you can live on potatoes alone? (well maybe you'd need some B 12) They are extremely nutritious. It's all the oil and junk people put on them that makes them calorie dense. Also, they satisfy hunger like almost nothing else. Try it!!! :)
19. Where do you get your seeds from
20. what year are you living in 1969 ? 10 pounds potatoes for a dollar try 7 dollars for 5 pounds Yukon gold
