First potato reveal of the year, does sulphur make a difference? 🥔

I was hoping to see a higher yield from the potatoes grown in yellow sulphur but on this occasion the yield was slightly less.
The potatoes that I thought might be Charlotte are not, these were a white potato variety, I grew 9 varieties last year.

Hi Nick, I did the same this afternoon. Tipped out a bucket of Pentland Javelin. They too could have had a few more weeks, but I was impatient to see what they were like. Yours looked very clean and I always think that if there is enough for a meal then its still a good harvest. Hope you enjoyed yours as much as I did mine, this evening? Enjoy your weekend. Take care, Annie 🐞 🐝 🌱

Hi Annie I was going to save them for tomorrow but I might do them tonight and tip some more out tomorrow.👍👌❤️🥔🤤

That's a handy tray to do a potato reveal, Nick! All experiments teach us something. Mmm, new potatoes... ~ Sandra

@nickthegardener.1120 Месяц назад

Hi Sandra it's a cement mixing tray but ideal for potato reveals. I should have added way more sulphur.👍👌💪🥔😁

Morning Nick good video mate it’s great to have new potatoes l have just lifted my first 3 potatoe plants from the garden 1kg 800g all very small have a good week 👍🥔🌱

@DigwellGreenfingers Месяц назад

I'd say that sulphur is worth adding if you have a high pH compost or soil, as it helps to reduce scab. Nice one!

@nickthegardener.1120 Месяц назад

Hi Steve I probably didn't add enough sulphur only 1oz. Got a bag of sulphur so I will be adding more next time. All my potatoes have sulphur in the mix this year but probably won't make much difference 🤣👌👍🥔💪

@leewozzashomeveggiegarden Месяц назад

Nice little experiment , like your mine have fell over but they are still green so they can stay for a few weeks. least there was a few to eat :)

@nickthegardener.1120 Месяц назад

Hi lee been a struggle to keep them well watered, probably could have left them in for a bit longer.😁💪🥔👌👍

@robsallotmentchannel9942 Месяц назад

Hi Nick 👋👋👋👋👋 Very interesting experiment you did there, like others have said I would of thought the ones with Sulphur would have done a bit better. As long as you get more out then you put in its a good harvest. Take care mate. 👍👍👍👍👍🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔

@nickthegardener.1120 Месяц назад

Thanks Rob, I probably should have put more sulphur in than I did. Probably do again but with more containers and more sulphur.👍👌🥔😁

Hi Claire just cooking dinner now so hopefully will be lush.🤤👌👍💪

@adamdaykin4052 Месяц назад

It would be interesting to see the difference if you added some additional nutrients to the soil along with the sulphur. Maybe there wasn’t a difference as both tubs were starved of nutrition. If they both had everything they needed for optimal growth then you would see if the sulphur made a difference. You still got a nice little harvest though which is always nice 👍🏻

@nickthegardener.1120 Месяц назад

Hi Adam I added blood fish and bone, seaweed powder and potato fertilizer but it was old compost so I probably should have doubled the nutrients. 👌👍🥔

@allotmentjoy Месяц назад

Hi Nick. Good sized tatties nonetheless. Couldn't get anything fresher on your plate. Always good to experiment and you could see the one with sulphur was greener. Enjoy 🥔🥔🥔🥔🌱🌱

Hi Elaine Sunday roast is in order. 🤤, probably should have left them for a bit longer to see if there was a difference 😔.🥔❤️👌👍

@briansgardenandpolytunnel8172 Месяц назад

the results definately surprised me. i would have expected using sulphur to lower the ph, and reducing scab to come on top....................brian

@nickthegardener.1120 Месяц назад

Hi Brian I added 1oz of sulphur so I probably didn't add enough. I've added sulphur to all my potatoes this year so hopefully get some without scab. 👍🥔

@Jimmy.Plot.41.b Месяц назад

Nice reveal Nick mate, i thought the tub with sulphur would have yielded more spuds, but its an experiment and like all experiments, we dont always get the results we hoped for. Personally i would have used a fair bit more sulphur in the tub. Dying to hear how they tasted mmmmmmm yummy i bet.

@nickthegardener.1120 Месяц назад

@mandamoosgardeningadventur8305 Месяц назад

It can be very disheartening when you don't get a good crop of potatoes but they were very clean,, You wait for the ssp, you are going to have loads🤞🤞🤞🐄🐄🐄

@nickthegardener.1120 Месяц назад

Hi Manda moo the sspc are also in old compost 😱 but I hope I have amended that better. I'm thinking about tipping another bucket out.😁👍👌🥔❤️

@traceysallotment2506 Месяц назад

Not much difference between the two buckets. Interesting experiment 🤔 I do like potato reveals 😂 same as carrots 🥕 it's because you can't see so I like the surprise.

@nickthegardener.1120 Месяц назад

Hi guys probably should have put more sulphur in 😂, oh well got a few potatoes and they ain't Charlotte's either 😂. 🥔👍🥔

@adysveggarden Месяц назад

Hi Nick, good to see comparisons with and with out sulphur, it's meant for a healthier plant?

@nickthegardener.1120 Месяц назад

Hi Ady it's the 4th nutrient after npk which plants need and helps keep the pH low, I probably didn't add nowhere near enough.👍👌💪🥔😁

@TonyandTeddysWorld Месяц назад

My Charlotte were about the same mate, my best first early this year were marris Bard I got just over 1 kg per container

@nickthegardener.1120 Месяц назад

Hi Tony I probably should have added at least double of everything as it wasn't new compost. 😁🥔💪👌👍

@TonyandTeddysWorld Месяц назад

@@nickthegardener.1120 mine wasn't new ether but I added cow manure and bfb

@fibber2u Месяц назад

You said you used potato fertilizer which contains sulphur. Well mine does at least. It is possible what you added took it over the limit and that is why you had slightly less spuds in the sulphur bag. But both lots had sulphur??? I think the real test is how much scab would you have had if you had let them go on further.

@nickthegardener.1120 Месяц назад

Hi the potato fertilizer didn't have sulphur in, it was the vitax potato fertilizer. I need to do more tests with more and less sulphur and probably check the pH of each container to see how much the sulphur lowers it. 👍👌🥔

@fibber2u Месяц назад

@@nickthegardener.1120 Thanks for that. I'm sorry about the assumption. I used potato fertiliser for the first time this year and it does have sulphur added. The reason was last years scab in some varieties. The thing is my main crop tops have grown to over 4 feet tall and that was not the goal. I know this because I stick 5 foot canes in the middle of all my grow sacks and tubs in order to be able to see where to aim at when watering and I can't see the tops of some canes. Obviously about 18 inches of cane is below the surface. I did still add some Fish Blood & Bone and chicken manure pellets. Next year I think I'll do something similar to what you did with one main crop variety and see which of the three fertilisers works best. My first earlies are still showing bright green foliage and I'm going to delay harvest for a while. Like many men, I like a good big top but in this case I'm more interested in ample bottoms.

@nickthegardener.1120 Месяц назад

@@fibber2u no worries. Are you using spuds galore fertilizer? That definitely has sulphur in.👌👍

@stevefromthegarden1135 Месяц назад

The 2 containers definitely could have been left to grow some more. The potatoes came out so clean. Did you not water them for a week before doing the harvest?

@nickthegardener.1120 Месяц назад

Hi Steve it's been a struggle to keep up with the watering, the water butt ran out a few days ago and it's been hot ever since. Trying to keep up with the tap from the kitchen 😔. Definitely could have left them longer too.👍👌💪🥔😁

Nice looking potatoes, but I think you’re right you could’ve left them in for a bit longer. Interesting experiment about the sulphur though.😊

@nickthegardener.1120 Месяц назад

@@izzywizzy2361 hi Izzy definitely should have left them in a bit longer, I've used sulphur in every other potato container and I used it on my in ground potatoes and the sspc so I hope it does work 🤣💪😁🥔👍👌
