Actually today while watering my potatoes I saw 2 red ones partially sticking out of the dirt. I pulled 5 out, my first potatoes, pretty proud moment 😁 I have my potatoes in a 100 Gallon Fabric bed. It's very deep. Looking forward to seeing how many I get total. I will definitely record and upload it. 🥔🥔🥔😄👍
This will work for indeterminate potatoes they add potatoes along the buried stem. Determinate varieties only grow on one level and do not add more if buried but you can grow a couple levels in each pot.
The little white worms you're seeing in your potatoes might be potato maggots. Potato maggots are caused by the larvae of the potato fly. The flies lay eggs near the base of potato plants, and when the eggs hatch, the larvae feed on the roots and tubers of the plants, causing damage and reducing crop yield. These maggots can cause significant damage to potato crops, so it's important to act quickly to prevent further infestation. Here are some steps you can take: Remove any affected potatoes immediately and dispose away from your garden or compost pile. Check the surrounding soil for any signs of infestation. Use row covers or other physical barriers to prevent adult flies from laying eggs in the soil near your potato plants. Rotate your potato crop to a new location in your garden next year, potato maggots can overwinter in the soil.

Thank you for adding this important comment!
I didn't mix my soil well, it looks like I put mostly clay in my grow bag. I will need to start over next season.
What do I do if I get little white worms that look like maggots in my potato’s?
