vue - Growing Potatoes In Buckets, HD Spring 2016

1. Not sure what i did wronge. I ordered seed certiffied potatoes. I put a few holes in the bottom of a cut down 55 gal food grade drum and painted the out side white.  I mixed  an organic starter soil from the garder center with a  lot of vermiculite and pearlite kept them watered but not saturated and fertilised about 3-4 time during the growing cycle. went to harvest today and literally got 4 small potatoes thats it. any suggestions. I did notice that the soil was rather solid despite the addition of hte pearlite and vermiculite.
2. Thanks very much, very helpful! : )
3. very cool!! cant wait to see how they do!!
4. There is something Ive been wondering forever with the bucket/box/bag method. Will it work for say garlic, onions, tubers and bulbs etc? Its something worth finding out I think but Im just beginning and dint have as much patience for experimenting quite yet. However Im surprised its not a topic I can find anywhere and you would think someone would have tried by now. lol at least with garlic. I cant even find a dont do it I tried and failed on google its really weird its just always potatoes.
   
   Anyway if it could work on other crops like that it would be pretty awesome.
5. Great video! I'm a new subscriber and have enjoyed your videos. Love your garden set up! This is something I want to eventually have, just kinda struggling to get there. lol
6. Yeah, Dan is the man. I've been trying to grow the Kelsae onions and now I'm ordering the sweet candle stump carrots! Already subbed your channel, looking forward to this year's season!
7. This is the way Dan from the alllotment diary does his spuds also. I have seen great success from growing potatoes in buckets, thanks for sharing, great video.
8. Wanted to let you know, I just found you based on your user name and a comment on Rooster's latest vid. Looking forward to seeing your garden. I'm about to sheet mulch a portion of my yard for permaculture and hopefully supplement my sons melon and berry addiction 😀
9. The year I grew potatoes in the ground their skins were all marred with cracks and bad spots, I think I'll try buckets one of these years.
10. very cool
11. Great advice on starting the potatoes. Glad you posted this when you did.
12. Good job! Good luck in the new season !
13. I'll be filling up the greenhouse with potatoes as soon as I harvest what's in the bed. Doing some of the same as you- reds and gold.
14. Thanks for the tip
    I am glad you eat heatlhy
15. I might try this way this year.... or maybe staw bales.
16. Awesome my friend. I really need to try this. Have a wonderful week. NPO
17. I'm probably going to out some raised beds in my garden or maybe try pots like your doing, just got my garden put in last year so this year should be better. Looks like a good set up to grow them!
18. Thanks.I will look into this. where do you get the potatoes
19. Nice. Now the good part starts. I'll watch for updates.
