My potatoes are in grow bags and following this method is producing better results than anything else I have ever tried, and I've been growing in ground potatoes for about 30 years. So those of you who have said he doesn't understand potato plants, don't knock it until you have tried it.

@Greentgarden Год назад

Well said ! Thank you for sharing this with us ! I always grow in the ground too , but after I tried the bags it was much better, I feel like this was the fastest I ever got a nice potato harvest.. I might do some sweet Potatoes next ...thank you 🙏🏾🌱

I just pruned my Kennebec potatoes after seeng this, a 44 foot row. Man are they nice now and you can see light at the base and the air flow is superb. All of those leaves were in danger of getting soil born bacteria and didn't get any light to be productive anyway. This is a great tip and something that never would have crossed my mind. Thanks for the advice, I know it will be very beneficial. I bet it helps keep slugs at bay too since it's not dark and overly moist. Plus now I can scatter the "Slug Bait" Iron phosphate granules to do them in. 👍🏻

I have 10 acres and my garden is in the ground and my First crop was planted in February, live in Southern Illinois USA. Our winter’s have changed but even if it has frozen I still plant them, when it’s getting warmer and the green tops appear. I top them out about 3 times, using bone meal and grey lime a couple of times for fertilizer. I just cut the tops off to about 6 inches and after the 3rd time I let them grow. But still trim off some leaves. Same as I do my tomatoes and vine crops.

Ahh cool idea! I’ve never heard of pruning potatoes before. I already find that growing in a grow bag has been fantastic and I may try it on my fall crop when I plant in a month or so (I have a super long growing season here). My current crop is dying back already so it’s too late to try this on them though I’m curious to see how it affects my harvest in the fall. Learn something new everyday! Thanks!

Where on Long Island? I’m a second year gardener in south Amityville and my garden spans across two waterfront properties so everything is in raised beds or containers. I grow my potatoes in 25-30 gallon grow bags and I bury the seed potatoes up to the top of the container. I don’t hill therefore I don’t prune. In this case do you still recommend pruning? Once all of the stems and leaves are about 18 inches tall I mulch with straw to avoid green potatoes. Great info on the flowers. I’m running out to cut them all off now.

my potatoe plants are a few feet high. We dug 8 in trenches and started them like that. Theyre doing well but..tall! We have covered them once but I didnt know I could prune them. So, it looks like I should and it looks like its wise to prune off the flower buds. Theyre getting ready to open. What would you do? If I pruned the growing tips down...would that harm the plants?

@Greentgarden Год назад

If your plant is way too big around 40 inches tall I would definitely prune the top and any flowers .. The plant will focus more energy towards the potato ..

@mssavedin92 Год назад

Thankyou. So what I understand is this...Its ok to prune the main growing tips (tops) and stems and several leaves within reason of course, without damaging the growth if its 40 inches tall? The flowers have not opened yet but many buds are on the plants...and its ok to prune all the buds off too? I just want to make sure I'm super clear.

@Greentgarden Год назад

Yes , pruning off all the buds before they even flowers is better .... start with removing all the buds and trimming the tops .. and then remove some lower leaves... Leave enough leaves so the plants stay alive..

Hi from Canada. Question: what about droopy yellow leaves? Should I remove the yellow droopy leaves? I would think yes, as rot might encourage mold or fungus. What is your experience? I may have pests, or fungus or may be overwatering. Likely not overwatering as my I am only watering from a h20 can as our city has extreme watering restrictions. Also note: we are experiencing extreme heat.

@Greentgarden 2 месяца назад

I am so sorry to hear absolutely! I would prune off some of the lower leaves.. Definitely think the weather is too hot for potato... Also I would think it's either too much water or lack of nutrients.. Prune out the lower leaves so this way you get a good air flow. Try to water every 2 to 3 days and try to increase your fertilizer and repeat every 2 to 3 weeks... Also, you could always check on any leaves. Make sure there's no bugs hiding .. Also try not to water the leaves , hold the hose directly to the soil.. Once you do this give it a couple days it should be good

@cewaffles Год назад

@Greentgarden Год назад

Well, you could tie it up if you want to, especially if you need to save space in your garden. And as it's bushy, it's always good to prune on the lower part of this. We have a better airflow.. keeping the plant healthier.. A good thing to do to this as a plan grow. You prune on the bottom and you add more soil so you can get more potatoes

@Greentgarden Год назад

Yeah potatoes are not the best in hot weather Also try to plant or or keep them in a cooler shaded area , liquid fertilizer or any fertilizer is good for a boost.. If you plant in a container, always remove some of the lower lease for good air flow and it helps the plants a lot.. every 2 to 3 weeks. I sprinkle a little bit of used coffee grounds to help keep away some bugs and also help the plant as a small fertilizer..

So it's growing which is good , It's good to add soil as the potatoes are growing from the bottom of the root. It's also good to remove some of the lower leaf so nothing touches the soil. Also you get good air flow which is healthy for your plant or earth worm should be fine..

I do try to keep my worms in the compost piles but they do end up in the garden. Personally I don't believe they've ever harmed my plants. I like to think they're helping by keeping the dirt loosen.

I have planted potatoes for the 1st time this year. I planted in 30L tubs. The plant leaves are just starting to turn yellow. I pulled some out only to find a lot of the potatoes were small. Should I leave them a bit longer?

@Greentgarden Месяц назад

Yes need to stay longer.. if the lower leaves turn yellow , there might be too much water.. prune them off.. Wait till the plant looks like it is dying , brown leaves dry up .. then wait for another week before harvesting...

These are like a medium size white new potato type… so they are not going to be large anyway.

@Greentgarden Месяц назад

You would be surprised some of these potatoes could get very big

@aprilwaller123 9 месяцев назад

What if you didn't know to prune and the green part is really big and long? Do I NEED TO GO AHEAD AND PULL??

@Greentgarden 9 месяцев назад

Well, when it's time to harvest, the plant will die From the top come down... If the plant doesn't look dry out or die. Do not harvest yet because the potato will not be full size... You could always trim the top if too long

Can you tell me in what month must i plant patatoes in South Africa

@Greentgarden 3 дня назад

I believe potatoes grow best between temperatures from 50° to 75°... Try to grow them early in fall or early in spring weather....

@amanimotto Год назад

Can the expose plants / leave be topped by soil ?? Won’t the leaves grow above soil no matter how much you buried it? I’m just wondering . Thank you

@Greentgarden Год назад

If you cover the leaves with soil and then watering The plant could definitely get disease.. This is why I always prune off some leaf and then I add soil as the plant growing

Good Morning. Question on the potato plant. When I found the Hornworm on my potato plant, all the leaves have been eaten. But now the plant looks like it's dying. Is that natural after a worm attack. ? I wished I could take a photo and share like with Facebook. Lol.

@Greentgarden Год назад

So if the hornworms eat too much , then the plant could die , but sometimes the plant will recover.. Also, sometimes when your plant is dying from the top it means your potatoes are ready to harvest.. ..

@lunalove4743 5 месяцев назад

I started growing, potatoes were growing well and one day I forgot to water and half of them fell over. They still look green but the stem near the dirt is thin and folded:(. I’m wondering if I should cut the stalk and allow more to grow or leave it until the stalk dies?

@lunalove4743 5 месяцев назад

I watered them that day I noticed and they again seem fine, I’m just unsure if I should cut the dropped stalks or leave them?

@Greentgarden 5 месяцев назад

So I could cut it if the top is dead and let the other stalk grow.. . And sorry to hear that .. must be hot temperature there...

What if you cover up the leaves with soil instead of pruning? Is that a bad idea?

@Greentgarden 5 месяцев назад

So it's not a bad idea , they call it hilling , some believe it helps the production and helps the plant... And some others believe that when you cover leaves with soil It's a higher chance of disease to the plant.. .. I saw people cover the leaves and all good

@carolharris6440 Год назад

My husband and I planted potatoes in April...this is July and the plants were dying off so we dug some up but some of the potatoes already had sprouts on them ... is this normal .. ??

@Greentgarden Год назад

So that could caused by hot temperature with moist soil or if the potato left a bit too long... Sometimes the potato falls off from the root and then we'll start sprouts.. You could replant those or you could cut out the sprouts part , and eat the rest of potatoes

@leelaural 2 месяца назад

I would do a hill . Try using a grow bag the works pretty well.. Fill it up half way Make sure to fold a bag and plant potatoes about 3-4 inches ... As the plant grows you keep adding fresh soil.. it works good

I have potatoes that have brown spots on the leaves and some leaves are turning yellow. How can I reverse this? I'm in Southern Mississippi

@Greentgarden Год назад

Sorry to hear this , this could be caused by over watering sometimes, skip water for 2-3 days , .. make sure your potatoes are getting enough sunlight.. remove some of the brown leaves to help the plant ... Remove any bottom leaves , nothing touching the soil ..

Pruning potatoes? Where is this comming from?

@Greentgarden Год назад

Oh yea , This is coming from greentgarden baby lol 😁 as I grow every day, I don't Fail, I either learn or i accomplish the mission ! Think about it the potato grows at the bottom of the roots not the top , so if we focus more energies towards the bottom we will get a bigger harvest.. Also pruning off some of the lower leaves is good for air flow , Keep the plant a little disease free , the plant will use less energy on leaves and more on growing potatoes..

@DopeDadGrows Год назад

I have a question so im growing in a grow bag and i just harvested some potatoes but was wondering why all my potatoes were at the top of the pot and not down at the bottom where the Velcro flap is? Lol not sure why this happened

@Greentgarden Год назад

So as the planet grow and get taller, it will produce new roots. And the best thing you are supposed to do is to add more salt to cover the roots. If not, it will be straight to the top that's actually normal.. So that's why I normally prune lower leaves and add more soils I could get more potatoes...

@DopeDadGrows Год назад

@@Greentgarden yeah i thought i did all that i pruned just how you showed and wasn't really seeing roots at the top but i added a few inches of dirt anyway but yeah i was waiting a little longer to harvest cuz the top's wernt completely dead but i happened to notice something coming up out of the dirt and I looked close and it was a potatoe so i sd screw it ill take some now and opened the flap and started digging around and there was nothing lol so i went bk to the top and there was a bunch at the top!!

@cyclingsfatsuma9808 Год назад

Look up determinate v indeterminate potatoes. It might be the variety you planted. Determinate grow on one level and are usually fast growing early ones (but there does seem to be some debate) while main crop are mostly indeterminate, so grow on many levels, hence the need to hill.

@Greentgarden Год назад

So Potato plants produce flowers during the end of their growing season... Once the plant potato has flowers, wait a week to 2 then good to harvest or you could also wait till the plant dries out from the top and looks like it's dying .. I recommend when you harvest your potatoes store a couple of them in a nice warm place and within 2-3 weeks you'll have perfect fresh seeding potatoes and one potato could give you multiple plants .. to regrow..
