How To Grow Potatoes In Containers (Complete Step by Step Growing Guide) Part 1 of 3

I figured out how to find YOUR videos on any subject! Instead of searching say "growing potatoes in a bucket" and getting any and all videos from various channels, I search "Hollis and Nancy growing potatoes in a bucket" and it lists yours first! So whatever the subject is, as long as I put "Hollis and Nancy" first, it gives YOUR video on the subject first.

I just want to say i look up to you and follow all your videos. I am a veteran who served in Iraq twice 03 04 05 06. Since the Army my life hasnt been the same and i found myself losing interest in things for a long time. Then one day i seen your videos and immediately became interested in everything you do in the garden. Which ultimately has gotten me out of the house and pretty much has helped me start healing from what i went through and made me a better gardener at the same time... thank u for all your information and honesty.. i am truely thankful.

Holy chit! Every single bag of organic potatoes I buy has potatoes that chit all on their own. I am planting those little "chits", too!

You are so informative and clear! It just warms my soul that you are Christians and pray at the end of the video!! I wish you were my neighbors. God bless you and your garden! May you have a bumper crop this year! Nadine from Ellensburg, Wa.

I watched almost all your videos. They are fantastically short and to the point with real experience without missing small details. Well prepared with clear voice and easy language. Well done! I'm so glad to follow your channel.

Just found you all ! So happy to hear the prayer at the end. I live in st. Louis, in your typical neighborhood and starting a urban homestead until I can get my dream homestead . I am a Christian and mother of 4 .

I'm59 years old and this is my first year to actually trying to grow potatoes. Thank you so much for your wonderful video.

You're a good teacher😁like your diagrams and No one else explained why I should get seed potatoes Thanks!☺

Great education and clear instructions. Just love listening as you have such a kind, warm voice. Everytime you say tater it makes me smile. Thank you😊

Thank you so much sir for this information. I am from Russia. My family & I we move to America when I was 13 years old. I remember that in Russia even during our modern time people keep a garden, or two where they grow their own food. It’s very common in Russia for people to grow most of their own produce. Even for those Russians who live in a busy city they own plots of land outside of the city that they travel to on the weekends to work that land. My family we owned a couple of plots of land, and we grew all kinds of food. I remember one of our gardens was surrounded by very lush raspberry bushes. We had a cherry tree apricot tree. We harvested so much strawberry. After my mother jarred the fruit, veg, and berries for the winter, we ended up giving a lot away to our friends and neighbors for free. Here in Florida you don’t see people growing their own food. In Jackson Florida it seems like people care more about the appearance of their land then utilizing every inch of their land for growing food. That’s why in America we have a multi million dollar lawn care industry . Somethings don’t really grow in Florida though. Like for example my favorite fruit apples I don’t think they grow in Florida. Citrus grows easily here. I really want to tear off all of my grass in my back yard, and start my own garden here. I just can’t do it without machinery. I also want to use as little as possible of fertilizers, or any other unnatural ways to force the growth of the plants. I have been experimenting in my house with certain vegetables. Like for example I was cooking in my kitchen last year, and while I was chopping a Bellpepper I decided to save the seeds. Well I planted those seeds in the bucket of dirt, and it turned into plant. Next thing I know it’s producing small peppers. And now that my pepper plant is heading towards its second summer, suddenly it started to produce a whole bunch of peppers and big to. I did the same experiment with black beans. I had a bag of dried black beans. I wasn’t using them so I wanted to throw them away, but I saved a few beans. I planted them and it also turned into a plant. The plant ended up giving me a few strands of newly grown black beans. Unfortunately the plant didn’t survive because of all of the rain we’ve received last summer. Too much rain made it go sour, and it died, but I did save those beans that the plant produced, and I’ll use them to grow more black been plants. I think it’s important for people to experiment themselves at home, because they have because they have to become familiar with their local climate, local soil, how much rain they get, etc.. When you grow something yourself, the excitement and joy you received from that is unexplainable. It just feels so good to grow something on your own. Self-sufficiency is how the common folks around the world will free themselves from tyranny.

I like that prayer at the end. Keep up the good work friends.

I can listen to Hollis say TATERS ... all day long. Thank you Hollis and Nancy for doing these. This is really helping me.

Thank you for sharing the anatomy of the potato. It really helps to understand the whys and hows of planting. Please keep videos coming!💚

Loved the Bible verse in the end! Also growing potatoes in a bucket - just a smaller one than those. Here the time to plant is in the end of May / beginning of June.

I’ve watched quite a few potato growing videos and you’ve given much more detail. This is very helpful. Thanks for explaining the top from the bottom and chits up!
