The obvious answer would be soil, but I think you are looking for more than that. Potatoes grow best in rich, light soil, and in home gardening, soil is pulled up around the growing plants to shield the new potatoes from sunlight (they turn green if exposed to sunlight). Each group of potatoes is called a hill- after the "hilling" of soil. Potatoes CAN be grown in containers, such as large buckets- and are harvested by dumping the bucket of soil.
