Harvesting Your Potatoes

No Dig, it's all about minimal soil disturbance. This might sound challenging when it comes to harvesting Potatoes. Let's meet Charles Dowding in the garden where we'll see how well the Charlotte Salad Potatos have done. 

This lesson shows you how to gently find all of your potatoes, with soil health in mind.

The potato plant will give many signs that it's ready to be harvested. Easily identify floppy leaves and a change in colour, and then loosen the soil by hand. 

TOP TIP: We tend to rotate our beds, & plant our veg in different areas each season, but Potatoes like to be grown in the same bed year after year!
