Ok,
Here is the story...
I am in Orlando, Fl.
At last year's end, I planted organic Yukon gold potatoes after they chitted in a large igloo cooler outside.
After a couple of months, they grew great producing lots of leaves and potatoes, which we ate.
Then, at the heat wave beginning in June or so, I planted some Yukon gold non-organic potatoes that Chitted in the same cooler with the same soil. However, this batch produced maybe 3 or 4 stalks that grew to about 3 inches and then died. I made sure that the soil was moist and had fertilizer, but still nothing grew. Just recently I went out to the cooler and dug up the potatoes and there was almost nothing left of any of them, They were just empty shells. It was almost like they just degraded into the soil leaving behind the skins. I have a couple of questions. There were other things growing in the cooler which I think were weeds.
1 - is the soil bad?
2 - can I try to use it again with Organic potatoes?
3 -What actually happened?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance
The Fishman
