How To Grow Potatoes : How to Prepare Potatoes for Planting

[jcitmfh]

Excellent advice & Awesome T-shirt!

Where'd you get it?

I want one!

[Beatnikzombie]

I would get rid of all that grass first.

[TheMidwestsk8ter]

But will it blend?

[SuperTruth77]

I planted potatoes in my garden this Spring- & by my playing the Spandau Ballet song to them they’ve come up GOLD!! Literally, my garden is now full of potato-shaped golden nuggets.

I’m worried, though. In the short-term I’ll be able to pay off the mortgage & live a little, but the ultimate consequences concern me. Wealth might change me for the worse- I might marry an 18YO model & look ridiculous. Also, what if others are able to do this? Surely gold will become next-to-worthless overnight?

[MischievousKittie]

Thanks Im trying to convert my entire one acre yard into our own farm. This helped me give me the basic idea how to try my had at potatoes next year.Wish me luck!

[Beatnikzombie]

@MischievousKittie I love that concept. I think that grass is such a waste of land. Grass has no purpose except to be mowed. Why doesn't everybody grow food instead of grass? I think we'd all be much better off.

[dsmith1427]

[Jonathonten10]

Hey how long does it tAKE for the cuts to heal?

[RebornYesika]

[HamNediaj]

this is going to be incredibly usful information for when the world crisis happens sometimes within the next two years . not today tho lol

[Byjoveandsuch]

@HamNediaj So your solution to a possible world crisis is to plant potatoes on it?

[HamNediaj]

@Byjoveandsuch no when it happens . it is able to grow in almmost all climates . dumbass .....

[Byjoveandsuch]

@HamNediaj *almost :)

[79Testo]

how many inches in between each potato when planting?

[MrCapone105]

Great video!! Potatoes are one of my favorite things to plant next to pumpkins!

[inuyasha338]

are potatoes very flexible? Are they good with low pH? I live next to a lot of tall pines and I can't take them down, so all my soils is pretty acidic.

[Da0infamous0lilb]

I thought potatoes could be grown in any weather ??

[SimonTalksWHO]

Thanks a lot, this really helped! :)

[ayenab7]

So it isn't important to keep the cut potatoes in sun and let the sprout grow? We can just olant them after cutting?

[paulyhart]

@ayenab7 yeah, let them sit out a couple of days to develop a skin on them to activate the eyes.

[000Winter000]

@ayenab7 Growing the sprout before planting isn't necessary. It's a good idea to do it for early season potatoes because it gives them a head start. Other than that, potatoes can be planted directly in the ground as long as the dormency is broken. They don't even have to be cut in half either.

[TheGunner417]

THANKS!

@SSstrikerX *facepalm*

[SSstrikerX]

POTATOS not potatoes, dumbasses

[mcoppola94]

[ArizonaAdventures]

[enirellav]

[MrDarrel85]

i dug a trench leading from my pepper farm to my pond hoping the fish would be attracted to the peppers. well the first time i threw my line out there i caught me a shrimp.

[maggotUNIT420]

jeez man i REALLY wanna watch and listen not read or id go forum hunting

[gryphonsss]

@maggotUNIT420

Some people are deaf ... they NEED the words ... lighten up some and respect people less fortunate then you such as the author of this video did.

[TheBradyoHead]

uh oh, i planted them a foot apart. i didnt know a sliced potato was a seed. i planted my potatoes in february and the stalks are fully grown with flowers coming out, but theyre not ready

[paramyraza]

its all potatoes to me!

[Xbashini]

wow thx

[mindy2215]

Good job on how to start growing potatos.

[oxoxox101]

I love potatoes they taste so good LOL!!! i love potatoes NOT!!! TOMATOES

[keepfoldingit]

A waning moon is all well and good, but I prefer to sacrifice a goat over my potato trench, and then pray to satan. Potato potatoe I guess.

[misspookietoodle]

LOL

[irish420Hitman]

Hahaha woah, that was funny as shit:P

[irish420Hitman]

Honestly if you think of things like that off that bat, you should seriously consider a career in comedy:P reminded me of bill hicks

[charlie29943]

I don't knw if Mr Smitty is aware of this , but you can get a better yield if you plant Irish potatoes on a waning moon on the sign of Taurus . Never plant potatoes on a growing moon

[bash109]

It's all bananas to me!!!

Useful though.

[RtB68]

Doug Smitty has one hell of a bald patch. And what is lovelymomof 3 on about??? It's a video about growing potatoe's isn't it? Where did God get involved??? Salvation by potatoes???

[KRJC4eva]

yeah not sure how God got involved in Doug Smitty's potato growing video, lol!

[ZeppelinFloydRoses]

why am i watching this?

[MetaKittie]

Because you're bored like me.

[BastuBasti]

because you want to grow some potatoes...?

[highonlife1294]

because you had potatoes on your mind.

[ItsmuahvideoS]

Hey silly kid that's into witchcraft or something.. I have bad news for ya... If my God is more powerfull then yours, then everything you said, shall come upon you and you. Sorry. You loose! My God did not only created you the universe and everithing that exists (visible & inbisible), but he is also the only God there is! Does this ring a bell.. Elohim...Jeshua..I am that I am... you're doomed unless you seek help from him since he's the only one that can help you now.

[lovelymomof3]

I just read your comment and I am sad to see you would talk this way seeing how you say you serve our Lord Jesus Christ. We must remember that people need to know , yes, but not with a message of wrath and condemnation. Salvation is for everyone and it is to be talked about in love and not judgment. The day for that has not come. Please remember if you proclaim to carry the name of Christ then you must walk in love as He walked in love

[crip23walk23]

i hate it when people like that guy makes growing potatoes so complicated listen guys all you have to do is keep your potatoes and wait untill they start sprouting little purple shoots then all you do is dig into the ground kinda deep then u put the potatoes there put the soil back on top then water alot. i done this and my potatoe stems are huge

[Laughter116]

If you tamp down the dirt to get rid of the air pockets, wouldn't loosening the soil underneath first be counter-productive?

[ctb619]

Not necessarily. A light tamping to get right of air pockets doesn't create anywhere near the level of compaction of undisturbed soil.

[Indiacalcutta]

how often do you water the potatoes? any tips?

[djwalt8]

They need about an inch of water per week...

[Indiacalcutta]

Thanks for the video, good job. Good demonstration. I will start to grow my potatoes.

[uturniaphobic]

more, Doug, more! thank you!

where are your planted pieces coming from? the average store potato?

[DAVENEVA]

APERENTLY YOU DIDN'T WATCH THE VIDIO

[A2GVB]
