I accidentally used some old potting soil that had been contaminated with my dog's poop on my potato plants. I thought I was recycling the soil, but I realized my mistake after tossing it on my vegetable bed. I've already removed the contaminated soil along with a few inches beneath it. Is my potato plant going to survive this mishap?

Not the best idea to add dog poop to your veggie garden, but don't stress too much. If you removed the contaminated soil, you likely got rid of the problem. Plus, you'll cook the potatoes before eating, which should kill off any nastiness. You'll be okay!
Dog poop isn’t great for vegetables, but you did the right thing by removing the contaminated soil. In the future, steer clear of that kind of recycling for your veggie garden!
Definitely! Always better to be safe with soil choices when it comes to growing food.
You're probably in the clear! As long as you washed your potatoes thoroughly before cooking, you should be fine. Just make sure to keep an eye on them, and they should grow alright!
Yeah, just make sure to scrub those potatoes well! Cooking will definitely help.
