How to Grow Potatoes in Buckets: Planting Techniques!
Today we take our seed potato sections from a previous video and plant them in our buckets! I’m using 5 gallon buckets from Ace Hardware, but you can use whatever container you’ve got lying around the house.
I mixed up some compost, peat moss, and perlite, along with a handful of worm castings for the soil mix. After laying down 4″ of soil, I placed two seed potato chunks down and covered up with 6″ of soil, then watered it in.

How to formulate good soil, naturlly if I can not get the ready soils used in the video
As the potatoes grow you add soil. Is it ok to cover the lower foliage with soil?
This was so helpful and can't wait to get this going in July.
After the place breaks through the soil and you add more inches of soil, are you done? Or, do you continue to hill up as the plant gets taller?
Thanks so much for this video! I failed last year. This helps me understand the process. Fingers crossed for this year.
Thank you for this thorough vid and the drawing!!!!
Just come across your video. Really great and helpful. Perhaps update to only use peat free compost as peat is becoming endangered and as it locks up carbon we shouldn’t be using it anymore.
If you drill the holes acouple of inches up you have a small water reserve
