spuds (same position?)

hi every one.i would like to ask if potatoes are ok to go back in the same spot as last year or do they need to be rotated?.i'm planning on putting them back in the same spot so i hope there not at risk!

Rotate.

Even if you have no disease, you'll have depleted the nutrients.

I would rotate too.Even if you have no disease, you'll have depleted the nutrientsWhy do want to put them in the same position as last year

Hi sorry if I am hijacking this quiery, but we took over our plot in August last year, as it was so overgrown and no one had touched it for nearly a year, we don`t no which crop has been grown where.  We planted some Christmas potatoes at the begining of Sept, and dug them up mid Dec.  My question is can we plant where our Christmas pots were, if not do we just take a chance on where we plant them this year.

I would always rotate. However on my old site there was an Irish chap, and he grew so many spuds each year he would always overlap, now it might just be 'the luck of the irish' but he never had any problems.

ok thanks very much, will rotate.  We have put loads of manure down in the Autumn except where we are going grow the carrotts, whith these we are putting in a raised bed.
