Continuing my hydroponic potato grows using aged rice hulls in my greenhouse. Really enjoying these grows. It’s rewarding to eat the fruits of one’s labor too! Hope you enjoy the reveal.
WHAT IS HYDROPONIC? FOR THOSE DOUBTING. The purest form is “Water Culture” where plants grow directly in a solution that provides the nutrients they need. However, there are tons of media used as well. Most use media as a carrier of the solution and to support the plant offering stability to the roots. The media is most often sterile and can include ANYTHING such as the rice hulls I use in this video, peat, perlite, rocks, pebbles, sand, grow stones, hydroton, coco coir, rockwool, gravel, sawdust, or just about anything you can imagine. It can also include mats such as hemp, fiber, wood, etc. If one is to grow root crops hydroponically, it is essential to grow in a favorable grow media because they don’t grow in water well at all. I pinned this because people keep saying, “This isn’t hydroponics”, and for those who say it, please do some research, hydroponics is a rich environment NOT restricted to perceptions of the few. Don’t take my word for it. Google “Hydroponic Grow Media” and read up on for yourself. Also, do a search in YouTube for “Hydroponic Drip Systems.” After reading a little on both, this video may make more sense. Always here to answer questions: c3voyage@gmail.com

Hi Brent , do you have a video on how you to start growing your potatoes in your hydroponic system ?
How do you think a perlite/vermiculite would go rather rice husks?
Hello Brent. When I watched this video I half expected to see you driving the tractor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UANqDEsNWw
Wonder how many pounds per plant a potato farmer gets. I used to pick them. I know they weren't five pounds per plant. I think your doing good. Keep up the good work.
Was this one of the pots that taters started on the bottom and grew all the through to the top? I bet the area under your wash deck will be prime growing area in the future. LOL Good job Sir.
Great reveal, shall follow your channel with interest
nice reveal I am subbed. I done my first a few day's ago. only 2lb of jersey royal but they taste real good with a little butter. 👍
Hello Brent. Its potato reveal time of year. Red Norland seems to be most popular potato to grow in the US, would that be a fair comment? We have had a very wet and windy few days in the UK, so much so I have been having to check that none of my pots got flooded. It doesn't take long if drainage holes become blocked. We have a lot more rain forecast so when I do get a chance to do my first reveal it's likely to be a wet one. HGV
good reveal 🙂 they do look better when they have been washed. Have a wonderful day
Nice harvest there Brent. Have a great day. Best wishes Bob.
They look beautiful! Do they taste good?
Nice Brent. I can't wait to dump my 6 20 gal containers of potatoes. Will be soon
Your headed in the right direction. They sure clean up good!
Getting better, they clean up easy. Nice. 🙂
