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!

How deep were they planted?
What variety of potato?
When did you plant them?
Did you plant whole or cut potatoes?
How did you prepare the ground?
