i want to learn how to grow potatoes and other food!

2020-04-19 23:45:51 UTC  

Believe it or not you can grow potatoes in a bag - I personally use a 5 gallon bucket / for most of my vegetables (ie) tomatoes - the thing that you have to remember is proper drainage - I use a (soil - sand)mixture - roughly about 25% sand to good soil ( I am in SoCal )

thank you! i actually bought seed potatoes. gonna try!

2020-04-19 23:47:23 UTC  

do you have holes in the bottom of the buket?

2020-04-19 23:47:26 UTC  

As long as you have good organic potatoes - you can cut the eyes out and they will grow

2020-04-19 23:47:49 UTC  

they have to be organic? you plant the eyes you mean?

2020-04-19 23:48:29 UTC  

yes I do have holes in the bottom of the bucket - with a small dish underneath to retain the water - making sure that I do check it daily for mosquito larvae

2020-04-19 23:49:51 UTC  

ok cool. thank you. so do you water the potatoes every day? or once a week?

2020-04-19 23:51:00 UTC  

They don't necessarily have to be organic ( that's my preference ) but you can store the potatoes under your sink - for several days and they will start to sprout - and you cut a chunk of that potato piece out with the Sprout - and plant that - the thing about potatoes is you have to dig them up and plant them deeper - leaving the vegetation on top of the soil - that has seemed to work good for me here in So Cal

2020-04-19 23:51:37 UTC  

I water them about once every 3 days

2020-04-19 23:52:56 UTC  

thank you!!!

4:53 Pacific Standard time here - and you are very welcome

2020-04-19 23:53:46 UTC  

besides potatoes what is another super easy food to grow?

2020-04-19 23:56:21 UTC  

Something that seems to turn over quickly - is lettuce - I went to Sprouts and bought several live plants - from their produce section ( I believe they were called butter lettuce ) - but they still had the roots attached and seem to do pretty well in our climate - other than bean sprouts and such I don't know anyting that has a quick turnover - obviously the more room you have the better ( I am doing this all off of a balcony )
