1 Grow your potatoes in soil with a pH between 5.0 and 6.0. 2  Potatoes grown in soils with a higher pH seem prone to a disease called 'scab', which produces rough spots on the potato. 3  Adding compost or peat will help. 4  Don't plant your potatoes where tomatoes or eggplant were grown the year before.
Potatoes are a considered to be a cool-season vegetable because they only actively produce a crop of potatoes when the soil temperature is between 60 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the soil temperature tops 80 degrees Fahrenheit, the tubers fail to grow. Potatoes can be grown in a wide range of soil conditions. Their ideal is a sandy loam. The soil should drain freely. If water accumulates, the plant will fail to produce adequate tubers and potato rot can easily occur. The potato plant prefers a soil pH of between 5.2 to 5.5.
