I am growing potatoes for the first time this year and things are not going well. Today, I tried to work out what I could do to fix the issue. There were some ups and downs and I'm still not sure if I got to the bottom of it. I will check in with you again next week to let you know how things have gone.

Hi Jacqui, A few observations from a viewer in Sydney. I'm no expert, but...I thought the soil in the original pots looked very wet. You're correct, more sun will be great. More sun, more photosynthesis. That said, when re-potting the green part of the potato can be covered, like really covered in soil or compost. Hope you get it sorted, and I'm sure you will.

Since re-potting, moving, and putting more hay on them, the plants look so much better!! Yes, you might be right actually, maybe they just weren't getting enough sun where they were.... Thank you! 🙂

Hello Jacqui, I have been planting potatoes in pots for three years now as my allotment in the uk is always flooded at planting time, this year I have achieved the best yield yet as I added plenty of potato feed as well as blood fish and bone, they are hungry and need it but don't take my word for it there are plenty of RU-vid videos on growing pots in pots,

Ah see, now when I asked 'Google' it said poor soil was best. Goes to show you need to ask the right person the right question! Thank you Andrew. 🙂

Where i live you can plant potatoes as soon as the frost is out of the ground. Our potatoes don't like heat much.

Ah really?? I had been thinking it was the soil I had used, so perhaps I was right. It's my first time so I really wasn't sure what had affected them. I have put them all into different soil today actually, so hopefully that fixes things. 🤞🏼
