How To Grow Potatoes : How to Fertilize Potatoes

[sundogforlove]

Thanks for the pointer. What month should I plant in southern california? I feel sorry for these people that can't spell. Especially comrade503Alias. I bet he never completed high school

[sapher2020]

Make a video showing how to plant, grow and fertilize "WEED." 

[deviousdizzle]

16-18 seconds in to this a butterfly is sitting on his shoulder this man is brilliant

[Comrade503Alias]

Wow fuck this.. no ones going to have furtalizer when were all living in the sticks because our government has turned facist.. when the time comes, ill compost ashes and animal corpses without the bones for furtalizer, why would anyone want to make growing things, into a unnatural hobby of using extra things you dont need. composting is so easy lmao.. I know people who compost and dont even grow things because all ur doing is throwing ur decomposable mineral filled produce in the yard.

shit on em and put em in the ground

You need to number your videos so that they can be viewed in order.

[EribertoCr]

potatoes have grown well for millennia without fertilizers

[thebattleinseattle]

lookin forward to my crops this year but. if you watch closley at his left sholder a butterffly lands on it

[ospTube]

This guy has great vids, but this is one to ignore. Don't add chemicals. End of story... if U like 'em so much go buy potato's down at yer local store. Kinda defeats the whole purpose.

[lespaulpal]

although i viewed this video late, after i have lush green tops on my potato plants, I wonder if i can use the 50/50 blend Doug talks about here to boost root growth by applying a "surface" dressing? anyone know?

[stt60]

I can hardly wait every spring to rototill animal fecal matter saturated with hormones, and steroids into my garden. YUM,YUM.

i live in england when is the best time of year to grow potatoes?

[Bassaholic1993]

I'd say plant them in late spring and let them grow through the summer. I'm not sure when you poms get your last frost but whenever that is, is probably the best time to put them in the ground. They love their sun and they take around 100 days to grow. Hope that helps!

[ancientLavada]

I agree just go organic. Feed the soil! as well as the plant. He did mention Sul-Po-Mag which is a nartually occurring crystalline called Langbenite. 0-0-20. great for ornamentals. I use kelp for food crops though.

[farmorganic23]

DO NOT USE CHEMICALS he is an idiot. potatoes do not like manure, compost is great, Chickidy Doo-Doo is what we also use, and most organic fertilizer that is phosphorous rich. Don't forget about your trace minerals either! The chemicals might say 15-20-10 and an organic fertilizer might say 10-12-8 but for long term results go organic.

[gwh21375]

Any idea if rabbit manure would do well or not?

[chillysdad]

Use guano or some other organic fertilizer, not store bought chemicals, unless you're selling the food and don't care.

[19dcs93]

some people dont freik out about everything being organic and as you can see his nonorganic is working just fine

[wasearcher]

But he does not explain that commercial fertilizer gives 2 to 3 of the 96! minerals that humans should be getting from their food. We are what we eat and the reason we are all so ill is that today's commercially grown produce has 1/75th of the nutrition as that grown in 1940. Our soil is stripped of minerals and commercial fertilizer is not replacing it. Go organic, use compost, worm castings on your plants to regain your health.

[19dcs93]

i use manure and lime and thats it and a power to keep bugs away

[johanj81]

That´s bullshit, there has recently been published the results from a major british study that has been ongoing for over 30 years. The conclusion is that there can not be found any health benfits in organic farming vs conventional farming.

[wasearcher]

Follow the money...who sponsored that study? It was the conventional (chemical promoting) agriculture industry. Their conclusion was that there was no difference in the basic vitamins and minerals but they ignored the effects the chemicals have on people's bodies. There is an epidemic of allergies caused by all the chemicals in our food and environment. New research concludes that autism and autoimmune disorders are the result of the chemical loads on our bodies. Grow and eat organic.

[johanj81]

No ! it was a very large study, concentrating on medical records of people, there could not be found any difference in the frequency of any diseases or general health, between people buying organic products, and people buying conventional products.

I read a article in a paper, but shall see if i can find a link on the net.

[goolden1]

@wasearcher thanks for this nice advice.

[maisymouseyette]

@wasearcher Amen!

[gamereaper]

@wasearcher its not that serious but ya i like to be green too.

[shiverstin02]

im new to this, can anyone tell me if your potatoes will grow without fertilizer?

[Noz7777]

yes they will. try covering them with layers of straw and manure... and do stuff like throw your coffee grounds on them.

[scarygary76]

i prefer compost instead of chemicals!

[nemodot]

@scarygary76 Everything are chemicals.

[TheMidwestsk8ter]

@nemodot hes talking about manufactured chemicals.

[gullunge66]

Now i know why i got few potatoes the year i fertilised.

[dannytheahole]

im new to this but wouldnt mirical grow work?

[wasearcher]

I've heard Miracle Grow is one of the worst commercial mixes as far as contributing to nutrition and human health. One clue to the nutrition in your plants is to count the number of worms in your soil. No worms--too toxic to grow high-nutrition plants.
