    Growing Fuzzy Potatoes at Home

    I was aware that green potatoes were bitter and could make you sick, but I didn't know about it having that poison all the time. 1-2 years is all I was interested in (for use the following spring or the next spring)

    Some types of seeds can be stored for years...I really doubt the "Eye" can be stored long. Plus, seeds allow for selective breeding.

    I just checked, there are multiple sprouts pushing through the soil. Once I have a plant, how can I get seeds? Or can I?

    No, I planted it already but the area around the sprouts looked like a scared cat but white It was also starting to look like a prune.

    I put a russet potato in a clear plastic container with a dish of water. It had sprouted potato tubers(I think that's the right term) but I waited too long... it now has roots and white fur. Is there a reasonable change I can still get a plant out of it, or should I just start over?

    Why are my Earthworms Turning into Slime?

    Protective of earthworms? Ok… I have put them in a plastic container with holes drilled into the bottom and something to catch any water drainage. I keep them in the dark in a cool room (not cold) I plan to filter out the rich soil and feed it to plants while feeding them non-acidic kitchen...

    I bought a different kind of worms and transported them home and exactly the same way, and they’re perfectly fine three days later

    They died before I remove them from the original container I bought them in.Edit: I didn’t even water them before they died… And the soil was slightly damp, not dry not wet.

    Why are my Earthworms Turning into Slime?

    I can understand them dying within a few days of getting them if they were in the process of dying. But they were wiggling before I bought them. If I had dead worms that were otherwise normal, then I wouldn’t be confused.

    Why are my Earthworms Turning into Slime?

    I bought earth worms on two days and the first set of earth worms had turned into slime before I bought it(I didn’t know until after) and the second set of earthworms turned into slime within a few days. They also smelled TERRIBLE! What may have caused that and is that going to be a problem for...
