And, it seems, he loves potatoes, too. As executive director of the Washington State Potato Commission, Voigt has pledged to eat nothing but potatoes for two months. No toppings. No sides. Just the wholesome goodness of 20 potatoes a day to meet his caloric needs, from Oct. 1 to Nov. 29. "I want to show the world that the potato is so healthy that you could live off them alone for an extended period of time without any negative impact to your health," Voigt explained on his website. You don't get that kind of commitment from the scallion commissioner, that no-good lackey. But to paraphrase the announcer before any Evel Knievel stunt, "Kids, don't try this at home." Potatoes or nuts? Much research has been conducted on potatoes, and the conclusion drawn by every medical doctor and nutritionist on the planet is that you have to be nuts to think you can live off of potatoes. To Voigt's credit, his lighthearted stunt will educate the public about many healthy aspects of the potato: a decent and inexpensive source of vitamin C, vitamin B6, potassium, magnesium and, with the skin left on, dietary fiber. Also, low-carb advocates are harsher on the potato than science allows them to be. Some potato varieties, prepared correctly, can be as healthy as the much-lauded whole grains. [7 Diet Tricks That Really Work ] Voigt didn't enter this diet blindly. He told LiveScience he first consulted with a doctor and dietician to confirm he could go 60 days on just potatoes. You need healthy kidneys to process the excess potassium delivered by 20 potatoes a day. You also need a store of nutrients potatoes lack, such as vitamin A for proper vision, or else exit this diet blindly. Potato vs. the world The potato's charm is its mediocrity: It is a decent famine food, because it has modest amounts of many nutrients, as opposed to the so-called healthy orange, which just delivers vitamin C and some fiber. The United Nations has promoted the potato as a means to eliminate world hunger. The problem is that potatoes have a high glycemic index, a measure of how quickly carbohydrates are absorbed into the bloodstream. Foods with a higher glycemic index — most notoriously, processed foods — are associated with weight gain, insulin resistance and diabetes. Potatoes get worse with the typical preparation: mashed and served with butter or gravy, or fried and salted. "Potatoes can be an excellent part of a healthy diet, but are not a healthy single source diet," said Barry Swanson, regents professor and interim director of the School of Food Science at Washington State University and University of Idaho, a guy who traverses the two states that produce about half of North America's potatoes. "The glucose release in the body is pretty large for most potato products since the starch is readily digestible." This means the potato initially satisfies energy needs but, if that's your primary food source, leaves you hungry and tired a few hours later, Swanson said. Like all starches, the potato is most healthful when eaten with other vegetables. A baked Russet has a glycemic index of 76. Most starches have a lower glycemic index, such as white rice (64), brown rice (55), lentils and beans (under 30) and barley (25), according to the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University. Vinegar and cold storage lowers the glycemic index. A cold, boiled red potato has a glycemic index of 55. For the record, Voigt told LiveScience his blood sugar level is in the mid-90s, slightly high but within normal range and actually lower than his pre-diet measurement. Man doth not live by bread only Can humans survive on any single food? A whale or other marine mammal might do the trick. Some Inuit have survived long periods entirely on meat, attaining vitamin C in muktuk, the skin and blubber of whales. Surprisingly, potatoes offer a complete protein if you eat enough, over 10 per day. more..... [link to www.livescience.com (secure)] COVID-19 JUST TESTED POSATIVE FOR FRAUD |

I made a raised bed (only about 3-4" high with the soil) then covered it with a layer of sand about 4" deep. placed the seedling potatoes on top of the sand and then put 12" of mulching hay on top. I had a lot of comfrey so I would cut it 5 times a year and add it to the pile along with another 12" or so of mulch hay. I moved back to my old farm, about 4 years after I left for a short time...we got so many potatoes out of that bed it was crazy. Never got a harvest (they can store under mulch here, in the ground) of the same type of potato but it didn't matter. So an Irish woman moved to the farm and went to harvest some (we did communal cooking then) and said 'where's the potato patch' so I showed her and she went back up to the farmhouse to grab a shovel, pick axe and some other tool.

Elimination of all processed foods and their additives. Any reduction of the toxic 'base load' of pesticides and herbicides is also unknown. Processing of foods isn't just mashing them up, e.g. most vegetable oil extractions are subject to severe heating and dangerous solvents that and up making them quite toxic in my view. Processed and 'Diet' (super processed) food kicked off the obesity epidemic. So after watching it's clear that potatoes are far far better than the usual toxic processed diet most people use to make themselves ill. |

10/19/2018 06:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Totally legit: Grow 100 lbs of potatoes in 2x2 foot box A unique methodology has been developed to allow the growing of 100 pounds of potatoes in a very small space Here are the guidelines: Make a 2x2 wooden box that allows the insertion of pieces to make it possible to raise the soil level periodically. This is accomplished by making a strong frame you can push 1x6 boards into as needed. Plant a late season variety of potatoes in the box, starting with one layer of boards holding 6 inches of soil in the bottom of the box. The potato plants realize the soil is shallow and quickly sprout potatoes. Believing they are going to die soon because there is not enough soil, they go crazy growing potatoes, and this survival instinct does not shut off. Once the plants are about 10 inches tall, add 6 more inches of soil to the box. The submerged portion of the plant then sprouts roots, which grows a whole new layer of potatoes in the soil. Do this a couple more times, to get 4 layers of potatoes. Then let the plant grow the potatoes larger and larger until the leaves start turning yellow. When they turn yellow, pull the boards out of the box, and there will be approximately 100 pounds of potatoes there. This method of growing potatoes is AMAZING, and can easily feed even a large family from these types of boxes on even a small roof top. |

Quoting: janedoenut Same with me. The most I ever get is 40-50 pounds. Once the plants start growing bigger you run out of space fast. Still much more efficient than in the ground. I put pins in the corner of each level so all I need to do is pull the pins when ready to harvest (use old hinges). I also add a bag of manure to each bin, a little at the bottom of each level, for more nutrients. Blue Horseshoe loves GLP |

I put a little gravel in the bottom. Stick 5 or 6 eyes in there. As the plant grows, add dirt to cover the nodes and unroll the sack as you go. End of summer, dump bag. I can get 40-60 red potatoes out of each sack. You can buy bags with a little trap door in the side to get to mature potatoes at the bottom about 2-3 months in to season. I have also seen this done in a tomato cage. I think the cages dry out too fast. You can eat them raw. You can mash them for babies and toothless old folks. You can bake them in a fireplace.
