How to make one potato bush generously produce a double harvest of large fruits in a season: a village secret
In this case, it is necessary to use early varieties of potatoes.
Before planting, some procedures need to be carried out.
First, sprinkle the seed material with wet sawdust 20 days before planting. Store the seeds in a place where the temperature is no higher than 12 degrees Celsius, but no lower than 10 degrees Celsius.
It will be possible to harvest already at the end of June.
On the same day, you need to start planting a new part of the potatoes.
You need to select young fruits for planting, make several cuts on them and keep these vegetables in a growth stimulator solution for up to 3 minutes.
But gardeners are much more concerned about the question of how to get two harvests per season from one potato bush. There is nothing complicated about this either.
First, the soil needs to be well prepared. In the spring, humus should be added to a depth of 10 cm. The tubers should be placed at a distance of 30 cm.
It is necessary to remember about the hilling procedure. The first time it should be done when the potato bushes grow to 20 cm. After 2 weeks, you can repeat the procedure, and you should also remember about watering, getting rid of weeds.
After planting potatoes, it is very useful to sprinkle each hole with a small amount of compost.
When it's time to dig up the potatoes, the bushes need to be lifted with a pitchfork and slightly raised. The largest fruits need to be selected, and then the soil needs to be loosened and the bush needs to be returned to its original location. In order for it to take root well again, remember to water generously in the first 4 days.
As a result, you can grow a double harvest from one bush.
