@MrAlistar99 Excellent! I also found out that IAMS dog food bags are food grade! So I've collected many all winter, and they are prepped to plant my first set. Each month, I will plant 4 bags. So my last harvest will be October. Last year, i got around 200 lbs of potatoes. In December, I intentionally let around 30 potatoes go crazy all set to plant these. Happy planting 😊

My potatoes will never go to the flowering stage because of the hot dry summer. They will also wilt and die. When their tops become all yellow, it is time to harvest them. :) And don't use wood chips to plant potatoes cause you need to hill the potato plants so that it can produce more tubers. I hill my potato plants using half composted tree leaves or freshly cut grass clippings. You don't need to import wood chips from outside. And you don't need to replant your potatoes in March. I left some potatoes unharvested. They always come back in early April here in Zone 8.

This year, as well as the buckets, i have made a veggie plot where i used to keep hens so am hoping for a bumper spud crop🤞. I see you use red potatoes. Do you have any preference for which variry you grow? And is that based on taste, storage etc? Also do you buy seed potatoes or do you save your own from your harvest? Sorry for all the questions, i just like your style of gardening😁. Also its great that you get your kids so involved. I love to see knowledge being passed through the generations.. happy growing!
