Results of the potato experiment.
The potato experiment say what?
3 months ago I began a potato experiment. Potatoes where sprouted what can you do about that throw away? Well I had a few buckets left bought some soil and planted 4 sprouted potatoes per bucket.
More about that in this topic called potatoes do you throw it away? Or.
Well here we are 3 months later and the first harvest. This is from 4 potatoes which had been thrown away. The ground was just the standard ground, without additional manour. So the potatoes aren't that big.
Personally without any attention and lot of care other than watering it is a great harvest from only a 5litres bucket.
I have 3 more of those buckets and one hydrosubstrate bucket. Why hydrosubstrate? Well it's like this, you can only use once every 4 years the ground for potatoes because of the potato sickness. With hydrokorrel you don't have any problems because it isn't ground. The only problem will be feeding the potatoplant so it gives you lots of potatoes. Only water and normal feeding won't be enough. I have 1 bucket with hydrosubstrate to test the outcome.
What if I would use ground. Well 5 litres times 4 is 20 litres a year per bucket. I would need 320 litres ground and manour in total for the potatoes allone. Okok I could use the ground for other things like unions carrots etcetera but I also coukd do that in the hydrosubstrate.
No ground no pests so an all-out better result because of no pesticide usage.
Well I'm exited about the result and will be building on thus experience.

We grew them - years ago - in a wooden box.
Every time we saw green leaves coming through we put new soil on it. So the potatoes grew from the bottom to the top having new potatoes also from the bottom to the top.
It was like digging for gold when we got the out there :)
HIVE ON!!!
Yeaah I know. Another guy said just put them into the soil cover them up and they will come out themselves. And they did, but I just put them all to the bottom next time to get more and bigger yeald. The thing is with these pots they can easily be harvested you don't have to dig. Now I will fill the pots with hydrosubstrate and 4 potatoes and set it up with my aquaponics system with tomato fertilizer. I only need 8 sprouted potatoes now. Next time I will do it in front instead of after the harvest now I lose 2 weeks.
