Learn how to grow potatoes in containers with this complete step-by-step guide. After 16 years of growing container potatoes — testing, failing, and refining — this is the exact method that gave me 450lbs from a single row of 30-litre containers. No digging. No soil-borne pests. No pitchfork damage. Whether you've tried container potatoes before and been disappointed, or you're starting from scratch with a patio, balcony, or courtyard, this method works. UPDATE — Container specs for international viewers: I use 30-litre containers (approximately 8 US gallons). Standard black plastic pots at that size work perfectly — look for them at any garden centre or the link below. The key is width over depth and good drainage holes. 00:00 Introduction & The 450 lbs Claim 01:32 Why I Switched from Ground to Containers 03:15 7 Reasons Containers Beat Growing in the Ground 05:59 Choosing the Right Container (Size, Material & What to Avoid) 08:49 Choosing Your Variety: Determinate vs Indeterminate Explained 11:35 Chitting: How to Control Tuber Size Before You Even Plant 15:19 The Exact Soil Mix I Use (60/40 Method) 18:30 Step-by-Step Planting: The Layered Container Method 21:38 Feeding Your Container Potatoes 23:26 Supporting Your Plants 26:17 Watering & How I Automated It 29:15 Watering & Blight Prevention 30:48 Why You Should Remove the Flowers 32:17 Pest & Disease Prevention 33:42 Harvesting: The Satisfying Tip-Out Method 36:11 Curing & Storage 38:20 What to Do with Spent Compost 39:33 Other Growing Methods Compared 41:10 Frequently Asked Questions 43:35 Tracking Results & GrowTrack 45:56 Final Thoughts Get Your FREE eBook, Potato Potentials https://geni.us/PotatopotentialsFree Get Free Access To The Potato Tool https://simplifygardening.com/potato-...
