In this video I harvest home grown potatoes and give you the results of different fertilisers I used as part of an experiment.

We keep all the tiny ones too. My wife will make brown gravy(beef flavored) and cook them in it. It makes a great side dish which she calls "New Potatoes". Oh and yes, it's been a difficult growing season this year and I averaged roughly what you had in mostly 10" pots. I have around 15 pounds of potatoes(so far, as I still have 12 more pots to go). At least we don't have the smoke from Canada covering the skies this year, which last year caused all my Red Sun shallots to bolt. I couldn't get a new set this year, but did get Dutch shallots and Yellow Potato onions. Happy gardening!

Had so many failures with germination this year also things bolting. But for the first time Kelvedon wonder peas have made up for it so far.

It’s certainly been a struggle this year so far

Hiya ....this week some of my lettuces bolted which got me thinking about your potato compost experiment ...while you had slightly more spuds when you left the flowers on would it be quantity over quality after all potato flowering is the plant going to seed ...it would be interesting if there is a difference in taste as is often the case where other veggie plants have blown ...?

The problem with growing potatoes is the cost of the compost and seed potatoes but at least you know what was in them.

@leatonveg 10 күн бұрын

I agree. But I reuse the compost on the beds as a soil conditioner after. You could just keep reusing it and add a fertiliser each year. Still nicee to grow your own

Chin it…..the storage very interesting…….what stops the stored potatoes from growing ?

@leatonveg 4 күн бұрын

They have a rest period so won’t grow until spring

Can you re-usE the same soil[ more or less] for next generation of potatoes, this year? Just done that😊 Plants are growing again Wales

@leatonveg 4 күн бұрын

Yes but maybe add some extra fertiliser

Thanks for sharing! What was the NPK of the fertiliser?

@leatonveg 7 күн бұрын

Hi. Can’t remember off the top of my head but if you google 6X fertiliser it should throw it up

@dalesman4530 7 күн бұрын

What was your base material that you added the fertilisers to?

@leatonveg 7 күн бұрын

Just compost

im sorry sir i might sound a bit rude here but if thats how you store your potatoes then what was the point of taking them out to begin with?

@leatonveg 3 күн бұрын

To weigh them as it was an experiment
