Potato Experiment

[BrownEye]

Chlorpropham is moderately toxic by ingestion. It may cause irritation of the eyes or skin. Symptoms of poisoning in laboratory animals have included listlessness, incoordination, nose bleeds, protruding eyes, bloody tears, difficulty in breathing, prostration, inability to urinate, high fevers, and death. Autopsies of animals have shown inflammation of the stomach and intestinal lining, congestion of the brain, lungs and other organs, and degenerative changes in the kidneys and liver.

This is all true, but there is one minor flaw with her experiment which is that the last potato she grew is a different variety which does, in fact, sprout a little faster than the others. Still, organic is certainly much, much better than bud nipped! I have my first crop of sweet potatoes growing in my garden. These are vines I started in the same way that this young lady started hers, in water. The potatoes I used are from the garden of an old shaman lady friend of mine who is originally from the mountains in Kentucky. She has been growing new crops of potatoes from seed potatoes she was given on her wedding day by her mother-in-law, some 55 years ago. I plan to carry on her tradition.

Thanks for sharing this, Pickle!

Its really not an experiment Many people use the potato as a house flower. Its leaves are very nice. You don't postpone the potato above the water. Place of the toothpicks so that about 50 percent the potato is below the water range.Are you agree this statement?

[Ruth]

Yes, this is true. And you don't even have to suspend the potato above water. Just put a piece of potato (I actually only have experience with sweet potatoes) in some moist soil and keep it moist until the potato sprouts appear. I dug some nice potatoes out of my garden just this week that I started from pieces that I'd had in a drawer in the pantry for several months. And I started them just in wet soil this past spring.
