I am more interested in how you burnt out your buckets so you could grow your potatoes safely. How much fire do you need for the buckets you used and how long did you burn it for. Does burning the buckets out work for all buckets (Metal) or only some regarding the destroying of certain chemicals. I am a little catious on stuff like that.

@Jerrid3 the buckets i used was acrylic concrete sealer.......hazardous....that­s why i burned them......ifyou use latex paint buckets, just wash with water......

[Jerrid3]

@ironhead41 No I mean how exactly did you burn them out? Was it for a few seconds, for an hour, a day? Did you simply use wood, gasolin, a blow torch?

[ironhead41]

@Jerrid3 oh...sorrry...i added a little lamp oil.....it was burned out in ten minutes.......then i tapped out the ash and rinsed with water....

hello ironhead, a quick question, my potatos in my buckets are just starting to push through the soil, at what stage should I put more soil in to cover up the new growth

[ironhead41]

@cavealaska1 keep adding dirt up to the bottom leaf.....if the stem is in dirt, it will root out and make taters.....

I would think plastic buckets would be better than metal. The sun sun can make metal hot enough to burn. plastic will be cool to the touch also. Placing the eyes down will take longer for them to get started. Even covering them up completely, they will still find their way out if you don't cover them too much. just enough till you can't see them.

My Dad says if you plant the eye facing down, your potato will grow much heartier.

Way to go Iron Head! Myt husband has taken up our whole back yard with this 30 X 30 foot shop he build in our back yard to work on his cars ! Any more ideas for growing in small places would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much !

Hi there - how did these potatoes work out? When you harvested them did you just turn the bucket over? -
