Cait said: Hi! I recently discovered that the potatoes in my garden were no good. They were mushy, covered in white spots, and smelled terrible. My soil is mostly clay, and I unintentionally overwatered them, which is what I believe caused the issue. The plants surrounding them haven't had any issues though. I dug up the sad spuds and threw them away yesterday.
My questions are: Do I need to clean the soil now, or is it good as is? If I need to clean it, what do I do?
I want to plant a fall garden, but I don't want to put any of the plants at risk.
Thanks!
