If the soil is heavy, add sand or perlite to improve drainage. Finally, it is important to loosen the soil so that the roots can get good aeration, food, and irrigation.

Regularly check the plants and rogue by remo-ving the stems and foliage of plants within a 3 m radius of an infection (flame or mow the leaves to leave the tubers in the soil). In the case of a severe infection, chop the leaves off plants with tubers that are ready for harvest and before heavy rains.

Plant in a trench about 5-6 inches deep. This will allow potatoes to send out roots and prevent sunlight from touching any new growth.

Once your potatoes are in the ground, watch closely for growth. When the above-ground portion of the plant begins growing, gently layer more soil or compost to cover it.

Potatoes prefer acidic soil, all the way down to a pH of 5.0. When we lived in the great Northwest, we used to mulch between our potato rows with cedar scraps and sawdust that we got from a local mill. But take measure of your soil before planting, adjust the pH accordingly, and also work some sand into the soil.

If you do cut, give the pieces a good 24 hours to scab over before planting—that'll help you avoid rot and mold once they go in the ground.

Do not plant any deeper than 3". The new potatoes will grow above the seed piece, so "hilling up" is necessary to provide sufficient friable soil and to protect the new potatoes from sun exposure. About 2 weeks after planting, when the plant shoots are 4" to 5"high, rake a good mound of soil around them, leaving about 1" of shoot

It's a hard realization because we are so close to achieving a year supply of food. Currently I have 600 square feet of vegetable garden space per person. I would guess that about 2000 square feet of growing area per person would be more on target. Especially if you live in the north and can't do as much succession planting.

Potatoes grow best in a rich, fertile soil with plenty of organic matter incorporated. Ideally, soil pH should be around 6.5 or lower. In spring, dig homemade compost into the top 30cm of soil. It's best to follow a crop rotation plan with potatoes, and not plant them in the same ground with less than a four year gap from the previous crop.

A 2-year (2017 and 2018) field lysimeter study was carried out to examine the effect of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) in irrigation wastewater on soil characteristics and potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) yield. Potatoes were planted in lysimeters (1.00 m × 0.45 m) in sandy soil and subjected to four treatments: freshwater (FW), wastewater (WW), freshwater + TiO2 NPs (FW + NP) and
