If you have fairly poor soil on your plot, this does not mean that you will have to put up with low potato yields.
With the right approach, the root crop will grow large and will be stored well.
What tricks will help with this?
Don't skimp on humus and rotted manure
These fertilizers are considered the highest quality for improving the chemical composition of poor soil, notes Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , landscape designer and agronomist, expert of the online publication BelNovosti.
This fertilizer should be applied in the spring to increase yields.
Experiment with varieties
The harvest may not be as impressive not because of poor soil, but because of trying to grow the wrong variety of potato.
Therefore, try to plant four varieties of root crops at once. However, the important point is that you need to remember the arrangement of the varieties. This way, you can figure out the most suitable variety of the crop.
Mineral fertilizers
This trick will help you to significantly enrich the soil composition, so it is definitely worth adding them. As a rule, the choice of experienced gardeners falls on nitrophoska, superphosphate and potassium magnesium sulfate.
It is enough to add two spoons of each fertilizer per square meter.
