@EPICBEANZZZ I just used ordinary multi purpose compost

I just watched your video do you grow them in your yard in a shady area? It don't look so sunny. What kind of temperature do they need to grow in? What month do you plant and what month do you harvest are they summer growth? Can they grow in a tropical island?

[wxpm]

@gladtidings4all Yes , they are in a sunny area as spuds need plenty of sunshine , i plant after any danger of frost has passed , late march - april , to be harvested a few months later

When is the latest in the season you can plant them? I live in Georgia and I want to start now. Do I have enough time before it gets too cold? Can you grow potatoes inside?

Say I was a farmer in the middle of nowhere; where would I get the potato to plant in the spring? How would you keep a potato from the previous fall for spring?

[a10fjet]

@1835msd feed stores usually have some. to keep over winter, just put it somewhere thats as close to refrigeration temperature and keep light and water off of it. potatoes are a cool season plant though, so keep that in mind

[LiquidDnb4Ever]

wheres part6??? how many potatoes or pounds of potatoes did you get from each one of the 3?

[wxpm]

@LiquidDnb4Ever I normally harvest about 30 - 40 from each tub

[LiquidDnb4Ever]

@wxpm and how long does that take? 3 months ?

[wxpm]

@LiquidDnb4Ever It varies , begin to harvest when the leaves start turning yellow

[LiquidDnb4Ever]

@wxpm when you harvest do they produce new seeds? or you have to go out and buy some more

[LiquidDnb4Ever]

do you have to water the potatoes? how does that work out? how often

[wxpm]

@LiquidDnb4Ever Yes , every other day

[moiwms]

Do i pick the flowers off the plants or leave them on?

[wxpm]

@moiwms No don`t pick the flowers
