One of the biggest issues that affect some people who grow large numbers of potatoes is storage, Either they do it wrong, or just don’t know how to do it. Following this video will ensure that you will have fresh good quality tubers right through the winter and late into spring.

It’s amazing that its the end of October and I still have potatoes that are green and have not been hit with blight. I really need to get these particular ones out of the ground though as We had our first frost last night and that is the end for these.

Storing potatoes starts at harvest time. You need to lift your potatoes carefully as any damage while doing this means you cannot store that potato as it will rot during storage. Lift your potatoes and ensure not to throw them about, any damage to the skins or bruising will render the potato useless for storing so take your time, be methodical and care about your tubers.

This is another reason why I love growing potatoes in containers. Not only do you get better yields, as per the potato experiment video, And if you have not seen that yet I will put a link in the cards and the description. But you can harvest the potatoes using your hands, no chance of scraping or damaging the tubers with a fork or spade. This is probably the easiest and best way to harvest potatoes
