What not to feed potatoes with when planting
Firstly, organic matter is not added to the holes when planting potatoes. It is added when digging the soil in the fall or spring.

Potatoes need a lot of potassium, and calcium, which ash is often rich in, is its antagonist.
It is also not recommended to feed potatoes with nitrogen fertilizers when planting.
