how to grow potatoes inside, successfully (Part 2: potting)
Part 2 continues the success of Part 1, aka overcoming the abject failure of attempt #1
seventh, once the roots seem to be getting a bit out of control prepare to pot.
eighth, buy soil and a big pot. lay out all your supplies on some paper.
note: if you have a minder who does not like dirt all over the floor, wait until they are conveniently away.
ninth, fill pot about half way with dirt. (dirt only: new nerdy plant book says its actually not good to put rocks etc. in bottom of pot)
tenth, take potting candidates from jar. gently separate them out.
eleventh, place evenly around pot filling in dirt as you go. (this is the messy part.)
twelfth, add last of dirt, gently firm up dirt and make sure plants are steady and firmly upright in their new home.
thirteenth, water thoroughly. is best to do this in tub, but not with shower unless you want dirt everywhere. leave overnight.
fourteenth, place newly potted, successfully grown, giant sweet potato plant in its rightful place.
DONE.
Tweet 0 noteshow to take out the recycling
first, makes sure that it’s overflowing. good recyclers don’t waste anything, especially energy.
second, sort out the paper and plastic/glass and the unidentifiables.
third, put the paper and glass/plastic by the door to go out when you leave. put the unidentifiables in the trash (if there’s room), or back in the paper bin for next time.
DONE!
