Books or info on growing potatoes

I went to Amazon and found a couple books on potatoes but I have no idea if they are any good. I would like to know about planting, storing etc. Zone 6a Northwest Ohio. I also am interested in planting in buckets and self wicking watering bc our property is pretty wet at times. But basic potato info is my main goal right now. Thanks!

I don't know anything about books on growing potatoes.

I feel that if you ask question you will find out just about anything you want to know about growing potatoes here on the forums.

My favorite tip is growing potatoes in cardboard box right in your garden.

When the potatoes are ready to harvest, the box is picked up and the potatoes fall out so all a person needs to do is pick the potatoes up.

Here are some threads to get you started:

My experience with potatoes is that they tend to grow themselves - the tiniest one left in the ground invariably sprouts the next season, usually in the middle of what I've planted next.  There's one springing up in the compost right now.  My climate is Mediterranean though, so we suffer from dry rather than wet.   I've been digging them out a few at a time and storing in a 1 liter yogurt pot with lid to keep the light out.
My gardener mother used to cut her "seed" potatoes so that each piece had an "eye"  and got more plants that way as each bit grew.  She also hilled-up the dirt around the stems to encourage roots to grow from the stems, thereby getting even more potatoes.  Which suggests that growing them in a sack or bin and adding soil as the plants grow would work too.
A good friend grows hers in a wooden box with a door at the front - she can pull out what she wants and leave the rest to grow on.

Best of Luck - next you'll be looking for recipes!

One book that I'd recommend is "The Resilient Gardener"  by Carol Deppe.

I don't recall Carol planting them in buckets, but there are many videos online on how to go about using that method. A couple of key thing to keep in mind when growing potatoes: they like to be consistently watered (but not sitting in water) & try to keep the root balls shaded if they are being grown in pots. They tend not to fair so well if they get too dry and/or hot.
