🌱 Harvesting Buckets Full of Potatoes! How to Grow and Harvest Potatoes in Containers

In this video, I’m showing you exactly how I grow and harvest delicious homegrown potatoes right from buckets! Whether you’re working with a small backyard, patio, balcony, or just looking for an easier, low-maintenance way to grow your own food, growing potatoes in buckets is one of the most productive and satisfying methods around.

I’ll walk you through every step—from planting to harvest—so you can get a bountiful potato crop in just a few square feet of space. I’m using 5-gallon buckets for this grow, but you can apply these same principles to grow bags, tubs, or any container with good drainage.

🪴 Why Grow Potatoes in Buckets?
Perfect for urban gardening or small spaces

Easy to move around to chase the sun or avoid pests

Great way to control soil quality and moisture

Makes harvesting super simple and mess-free

Ideal for beginners who want to try growing their own food

🌟 Pro Growing Tips:
Use compost-rich, well-draining soil and don’t forget to add a slow-release organic fertilizer at planting time.

As the plant grows, keep adding soil (hilling up) to encourage more tubers to form along the buried stem.

Keep the buckets in a full sun location—potatoes love sunlight!

Water regularly, but don’t let the buckets get soggy—good drainage is key!

Mulch the top to hold in moisture and prevent weeds or green potatoes.

🧺 When to Harvest:
When the foliage starts to yellow and die back, that’s your signal! I’ll show you how to gently dig through your bucket and uncover beautiful, soil-covered potatoes—some of which might surprise you with their size!

You'll see the actual yield from the bucket and learn tips on how to improve it next time. Whether you get small new potatoes or big bakers, nothing beats the taste of freshly dug homegrown spuds!
