When a pair of socks are seperated they begin an epic quest to be reunited. This is that quest…or at least the beginning of it anyway.

The Great Growing-Potatoes-in-Bags experiment resultsPosted by admin on
Here you go Michiganmadmax and others that have inquired about how the potato bags fared. (For new subscribers, see earlier videos from this past Spring and summer) The plants didn’t have the dreaded blight as I feared, but the “harvest” was fairly light — EXCEPT when you consider I only got the bags 1/3 to 1/2 full. The straw layers were bulky and fooled me into thinking I had the bags fuller than I did. I realized (too late as the plants were huge by that time) that I hadn’t filled my bags. Oh well. I also learned that I probably overfed my plants and next time would lean more towards filling the bags with SHREDDED or chopped straw only after planting the potatoes in a 8″ – 10″ bed of good, loamy soil. I think that would have lent to a better crop. That said, I am really geeked to use these bags again as COMPOST bins, alternating layering half-composted goat manure / old hay and straw as I did with the potatoes. The finished soil we got was just lovely. So. . . while the potato bin will not be overflowing this year, I DID learn a new, easy way of making some great compost! : ) And heck — I’ll probably throw in some starter spuds just for the heck of it
