Any Q

Containers holding potatoes will dry out more quickly than the soil in your garden. Careful monitoring is required to keep your potato container uniformly moist. Potatoes need at least an inch of water a week, 1 1/2 inches for maximum production, particularly after tubers have started to form.


Should I water potatoes every day?

Generally, potatoes need between 1-2 inches of water per week; this could be provided by rain events or you to make up the difference.

Can you overwater potatoes?

Depending on the growing stage, overwatering can have different effects. Watering too much after planting and not enough while the new tubers are forming can lead to misshapen potatoes. Overwatering after the plants die back can cause the underground potatoes to rot.
