Remember, potatoes need drainage, if you are growing them in a container stand it on bricks. If you are growing them in heavy clay soil, put some gravel at the bottom.
Potatoes love the sun, so make sure to keep them out of the shade.
Remember to feed them with manure or liquid feed, just follow the guidelines.
When watering, water onto the base of the plant, not the foliage. They require a cup of water every day.
Check plants for unwanted bugs daily.
Dig when dry if possible and gently, as potatoes can get bruised during lifting. Once dug, leave them in the sun for an hour to let them dry.
