potatoes planted in a half barrel - Knowledgebase Question

the leaves are light green and yellow and are limp falling over the sides of the barrel. I have dug under the roots and gotten a few small potatoes. Today I stuck the hose in the barrel and watered till the soil was really moist. Even though I water frequently, I wondered if this was the problem. I also cut some yellowish limp leaves at the bottom of the plant.
