5 Tips for Growing Bountiful Potatoes

1. Plant potatoes in loose, well-drained soil with plenty of organic matter. 2. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged to prevent rot. 3. Fertilize potatoes with a high-potassium fertilizer to promote tuber development. 4. Hill up soil around the base of the plants to protect developing tubers. 5. Harvest potatoes when the tops have died back for the best storage quality.
