There are about 5,000 potato varieties worldwide. Three thousand of them are found in the Andes alone, mainly in Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Chile, and Colombia. They belong to eight or nine species, depending on the taxonomic school.
As the vine grows, the plant produces thick roots. The vine uses only a portion of the nutrients found in the soil and the excess food causes the thick roots to grow into the tubers harvested at the end of the growing season. There are two types of potatoes for the potato grower; determinate and indeterminate.Determinate potatoes are considered fast-growing and produce tubers at the soil depth just above where the seed was planted. Indeterminate potatoes are classified as slow-growing and produce tubers all along the stem where soil exists.otato bag gardening produces new or storage potatoes. Potato bag gardening is used to grow potatoes in a small space where conventional planting methods are not practical, such as a patio. A 5-gallon potato bag can produce 7 to 13 pounds of potatoes, depending on the variety.
