@Lizard there's that one and the encyclopedia of country living

In fact checking funny internet man I've seen people say cold water or they make no reference to water temp. Is it best to use hot or cold water for DIY vacuum seal?

No dont water

no water

What do you think will happen to your vacuum sealer, when it tries to suck the air out huh?

Also itll all be a big mush by the time you eat it

what the fuck

how do you not comprehend this

The point is that you don't use the machine, you can do this with Ziploc bag and a container of water at home. The water stays out of the bag.

Hence the oil? Air evacuates, oil fills the creases in the bag and seals contents.

I'm not sure what oil is for, I've never seen someone else recommend putting oil in the equation.

anybody here has experience with growing potatoes in bags?

As in those black planting bags or in the bags that the potatoes come in?

normal bag that u use for shopping

or these black ones

Depends on the size of the bag

The important part of potatoes grows downwards, so you definitely want them to have room to grow more spuds

Stick a spud in water first for like one or two weeks, or however long it takes to grow roots then chuck into some soil

That's how I did it a few years ago

@a homo sapien

Kips prolly knows

Knows what

The question asked above bruh

@Scav so i fill the bag about halfway with soil and then plant my potatoes? and then cover them up with dirt? so the new potatoes are forming/growing beneath the seedpotatoe?

Nah fam
You know how the make kids put like skewers on a potato and they put it in a jar of water for like a week? You ever done that little science experiment as a kid in school?

That's so they take root, after that you can just put the potato in the soil, you don't gotta bury em deep since the potatoes are gonna sprout a stem and leaves to get some sunlight

Want me to link the 5g potato bucket video?

The potatoes are gonna grow downwards since the potatoes themselves are basically the roots of the plant

Oh i get it now!

@Mr. Verboten yeah that would be helpful

There you go 😁
