Which Soil type is Suitable for Potato farming ?
Potatoes will grow in just about any well-drained
soil, but they dislike soggy soil. Because they do
all their growing underground, they can expand
more easily in loose, loamy soil than in heavy,
compacted, clay soil that keeps plant roots from
getting the air and water they need.
