I'm a first time potato gardener and this video is very helpful

Elephant in the room Where are the veg?

I love your accent ❤

I planted these last year and harvested all of them at the end of the year. This spring, I have more than I had last year, and I planted none.

Can you mulch with grass clippings to help add more nitrogen to the soil as they break down?

How do you keep the mosquitos out of the IBCs that are open?

Can grow potatoes in bales of straw.nothing in ground

Hi, why does it pop up with Failed when the nappies are mentioned?

That is an amazing system you designed and built, Tony! Great explanation and example for gardeners who want an effective watering setup with rainwater.

I have my doubts with plastic water storage, can't help but think it spreads microplastics all over your garden.

Great video. Hi Tony I was wondering if you have ever looked at, or tried the Ruth Stout method of growing potatoes. In videos that show her method, and an actual film of her planting in her own garden. She basically places potatoes on the bare ground then just covers them with straw and that’s it. She was a fascinating woman (RIP) and worth checking out how she did her methods growing crops in her yard. In her own words she never visited a green grocers in her life after discovering this way of growing. All the best mate. 🍻

Excellent tips.

That's amazing but sow bugs always eat my potato plants. How do you deal with sow bugs?

easy and helpful

it worked

tq tq#

That’s amazing! I only have 1x240l atm and I use it in 2 days. Defo need more ❤

You want to cover all those tanks, you get cisterns that are much better at preserving (drinking) water quality of rainwater since no photosynthesis occurs inside

So happy to see this!!! We harvested Stinging Nettle every spring in Alaska. It cured me of a horrible Cottonwood allergy.

Without even watching yet I just have to Thumbs Up for your efforts.

That's incredible Tony! I would never be able to do anything that elaborate but was thinking of getting a rain barrel. The problem is we don't get nearly the rains you get over there and other than my small shed there are no structures with large roofs I can use to collect rainwater. I do often put out trash cans and buckets in the garden to catch the rain water during rainy periods so that's better than nothing I guess. Happy gardening!

Amazing Well done, Tony

Hi Tony. Note the Bosch pump is 18v not 12v. Disappointingly, Bosch have chosen to use a completely different 18v battery & charger to the ones on all their "blue" professional tools.

The neatest tidiest most organised garden Ive seen

Totally excellent system Tony. I'm just about to set up my tiny automatic watering system for my 4 tomato plants ! I've got 2 x 66 gallon butts next to the greenhouse and a simple timer working a 12v pump keeps my plants happy for my 2 weeks summer holiday :) I'm on the coast in Porthcawl so not so far from you mate :)

Oh no! Poor chickies 😢 Have to clean out my 1 tank that I use primarily for the chickens, I do get algae, need to paint it soon.

Thanks for this knowledge. 1st year for me- foliage coming up now- will skip wateting system this year but will get it in place next year. Golden!

Thank you, Tony!

you can still harvest them even if you grow them for bees.

Would love to have an IBC, but I couldn't get it into the back garden as there is no access.

What an incredible system! My only possible source for water collection is the roof of my house, I have heard some people say the shingles we use may contaminate the water, I wonder what you think of that?

You have an amazing garden and setup that I wish to have (do for myself) someday. Thx for doing this, filming it and sharing it with us.

Very nice! Thank you. Do you have algae issues? And how are you handling it?

And theres me with an allotment, but just 1 wheelie bin (that leaks) for collecting water😂

Great video and system you have in place

How big is your garden land? acres?

❤ Very smart system! 👏

With the open-top IBCs for filling water cans, I'd be worried about either contaminants falling into the water, or losing a bunch of water to evaporation. Have you noticed any issues like this in your system?

Great idea, Tony. Do you have a filter, to clear leaves that comes down guttering.

I plant my long white spindly shooter potatoes, lay them in the hound, closer together and they really produce. I've broken off at the joint ends and planted them, suprise, smaller but many Patons, great for soups and stews. They are bite sized or a bit more. Even the skins with the eyes after peeling will produce food. And my family are farmers, yes, they take potatoes and prep them for planting, always getting the eyes ready. Now big bioengineering farms dont

SPECTACULAR! Considering this is a hobby, you have done wonders. Thanks so much for the inspiration.

Thank you! I am on a well and towards the end of summer sometimes run out of water if I water the garden too much. I need to look into getting some IBCs to catch some Vancouver Island's abundant winter rain.

Absolutely fantastic set up tony ,if only i could do something like this ,must have a look around for water barrels or ibc 😅

I'm just starting with my first 4 totes

That’s an amazing setup!!!! 😊

Thank you got sharing

Boom

So greatful that I have my own well!

unsubscribed because SG hacking my feed with a never ending Premier. I've seen the Spiffing Britt Premier hack video too.

Amazing looking rhubarb plants. Mine looks so sad compared 😢 My poor plants have never seen manure and I know this is what they are needing.
