Get my book, The Forgotten Companion Planting Secrets, just $9: https://www.gavinhawthorne.store/ There is one thing almost everyone does to a potato before they store it, and it quietly rots the whole box by midwinter. It feels like the careful thing to do, which is why it catches good gardeners every year. In this one I show you the box of sand my grandfather kept in the corner of his root cellar, the whole method start to finish, from picking the right potato to bedding it down so nothing touches. I also tell you the temperature mistake that turns a good potato sweet and near black in the pan. In this video: • The one careful looking habit that rots a whole box of potatoes by midwinter, and what to do with the dirt instead • Why a potato is still alive and still breathing after you dig it, and what that changes about where you put it • The thumb test that tells you in a second whether a potato will keep or rot • How to bed potatoes down in a two dollar box of sand so not one of them touches its neighbor • Why colder is not safer, and the week on the kitchen counter that brings a too cold potato back Tell me in the comments how your own people kept their potatoes through the winter, whether it was a bin, a barrel, or a pit down the cellar. Those little family tricks get lost the moment nobody writes them down, and I read every single one. #gardening #oldtimers #homesteading #potatoes #foodpreservation #rootcellar #winterstorage #frugalliving
