Please do not cure them in the sun this turns them green and inedible. When the potato plant starts dying down it is ready to cut down . You can leave them in the soil for a while they are safe as long as they have not had any blight in which case you remove as soon as any sight of blight. The curing can have in the soil or if you lay them in the DARK before storing . I have never bothered to cure mine after digging them up as sometimes they have stayed in the soil for a couple of weeks and cured themselves before I harvested . Always cover any tubers coming up as it grows . It is like a tomato plant the more soul you add to the base the more roots grow and add to the plants strength too . They are the same family by the way . He is a really rubbish potato grower

The reason you add soil to, or mound, potatoes is because as the plant grows up, so too does it's root system, usually after the first tubers being growing they will offshoot new roots and grow more tubers at the point where the soil covers the roots. Depends on how loose the soil is, but usually by then its compacted enough that it takes less energy to grow higher up in looser soil than lower down.

I grew potatoes last year and you have to pile dirt on them as they get taller. We did it in a raised bed in rows and by the end there were two very clear lines from where I had taken the dirt. I planted mine a little late (last minute decision because we hade spuds on a bag of potatoes) so they were small but the perfect size for homefries. Not doing them again this year since we’re trying new stuff (fingers crossed the Brussels sprouts survive) but I’d definitely do it when I get my own place.

Assuming you planted them deep.enough (6" soil, then a potato, then 2" soil. Then add soil as the plant grows). If you did that and the potatoes are popping out the top of the soil, first - you have a variety that is indeterminate and will continue to set tubers all season. If you see them popping through the top, cover them with soil. You shouldn't eat the green potatoes, they can make you sick. I love planting potatoes. The end of the season is a treasure hunt😊.

Cut the green parts out before you cook them. They contain solanine and can easily give you flu-like symptoms if you eat that part. If you cook a potato with green inside it, the solanine spreads throughout the potato. It's best to chop up home grown potatoes before you cook them, so you can identify any green spots and throw those parts out. The rest of the potato should be safe to cook and consume.

I didn't know they needed to be 'cured'. Always thought that putting them in a dark, cool, dry place was the way to go to keep them long-term.

Let the skins harden so that they last longer in storage.

Push soil around the potatoe plant as it starts to grow to keep soil cover for the one closest to the surface. Seed potatoes should be planted about 12 inches below ground surface. From an Irish man .

Yep, I learned that trick with vegetables. Don't was until ready to eat. I buy green or pablano peppers and stick them right in the freezer. They get washed when I'm ready to use them. Same with fresh greenbeans.

About 4 years ago we moved into our new house and the last owners and construction people left the brown bin filled to the brim and it costs money to get the council to empty it so we've just left it. One say my brother bins an old sprouted bag of spuds but puts it ontop of the brown bin and last year we started seeing flowers bloom from the bin each summer, this year I got curious and it's filled with freshly grown spuds XD Ofc i'd never eat em, but its pretty neat that some old binned spuds grew into a flourishing plant. It even made itway through a crack in the lid

I've been told that that green on the potatoes makes that portion poisonous. But I've also been told to counter that just cover them up with dirt while they're still growing

I used double black fabric last year around the plants and had very few sunburned potatoes. It also made the water stay better for the plant to use.

You should design a system that you release the dirt afterwards to harvest and then refill the basin with the leftover dirt. Maybe a tarp in the basin that goes over the tops so it opens like a Chinese food container 💜💜💜 good luck

That's really great and you do awesome work and very knowledgeable and usually break it down for us but I am curious cuz I thought potatoes and the carrots are best to be harvested biannually 🤔🤷🏽♂️ I'm not doubting you again like I said you were very great at this and that's so awesome harvest right there so congrats and thank you for sharing and educating and promoting a healthy lifestyle

Kudos to everyone pointing out solanine and how to prevent them. Though I see you're using a metal barrel, possibly cut in half. You might wanna consider having a deeper and wider pot/vessel (transparent and bigger if possible so you can lower the initial soil amount without compromising sunlight exposure of the plant part) to prevent not having enough space to add soil on top while potatoes are growing underneath and at the same time, you have more space for tubers to spread out with.
