Clean spuds

[Mellow oldfark]

Do you have tractor Carbs?
Wish I had a small medium size one.
Could grow lots more.
People will buy organic food all day long.
It's trendy and good for you.
I'm not certified but every thing is grown with poo,chicken ,cow and worm poo.✌
What state you in carbs?

Looks like a Russet to me but I'm not potato expert.

Lester Burbank apparently picked the Russet from 100,000 plants.


Pontiac have the world record.

Either way, it's a very fine spud.

There was some sebago and jersey royal from .aldis and iga .
I just put them in old egg cartons and chit them in the kitchen cupboard.
Was thinking about putting some in again straight away.
Just top dress mounds with decomposed cow poo.
And a little in planting hole .
I like the kifflers but havnt seen any specimens worth buying of late.✌

Dunno how I missed this behemoth Carbs.

 

[Anoma]

LOL, that's crazy

Killing it mate, I'm getting Sir Billy into spuds this year on a smaller scale.

Kipflers a lovely spud, there's a nutty flavour to them that is lovely I think.

I reckon there might be a splash of Irish blood running through those veins, going by your results, Oldie. What a whopper.

Won't let me edit.
Should read "I'm doing a few this year"
No idea about billy
It's like he edited his name in and then made it unavailable for me to edit.
Hardly Auto corrected from "back"to "sir billy".

So started harvesting this year's clean spuds , take a couple of sessions to harvest.
Should last 12 months easy.
Used chook poo,cow poo, ash,mushroom compost and some home made compost.
Should get about 4 x 40ltr buckets.only watered once.

Fucking spud shortage down here.

 

[Billygoat]

Nice, I really do need to grow some.

How do you store them for use over 12 months?

 

[Carbcon]

Nice one old fark, I just know me and you would get on.....my spud brother!

Did some brake light and Desiree last year, not a great harvest. 2022 back to Dutch creams I reckon

 

[Sedge]

Spudtastic.

 

[Carbcon]

Root crops the way to go in QLD mate, spuds still have a hard time

Just proper spud sacks or wooden box with lids . They last a year no prob.
Rest of me gardens getting hammered with latest imported insect pest.FALL ARMY WORM from south America.
Think it's been here about 2 years and is wreaking havoc worldwide.
Especially loves maize and corn or anything. ✌
