Indoor gardening is great. Creating your own micro environment to allow whatever you want to flourish is a good way to learn the basics; limiting factors, living soils, temps, watering schedules, and humidity etc...and if you're unlucky, pest control. While we can't control nature outdoors like we can indoors, we can at least learn that! And with greenhouses and tents being what they are today, the indoor/outdoor threshold becomes a lot less of an impasse if you learn indoor gardening well.
I love potatoes! Today I wanted to get going on some of our baby potatoes so I decide to run a test. On the left the spuds haven't been cut, and left with their one bud just outside the surface. On the right, the two were cut per usual. Going to watch each side for time and yield.
For the soil we used a high NPK base mix. 20% worm castings, 40% compost, 40% peat moss...and some clay pellets. Added to that some rock dust, suffer, and rice husks. On top after planting spudlings we placed some red clover cover crop which will be buried during mulling but will add N and keep soil created and alive during early stages of growth.
