When is it wrong to water potatoes: an unfortunate mistake of inexperienced gardeners
Potatoes, like any other garden crop, are afraid of a lack of moisture in the soil.
Taking this point into account, summer residents try to water the plant regularly.
Of course, this approach is absolutely correct. But not at all stages of cultural development.
There is one period when the plant does not need moisture. On the contrary, a large volume of water entering the soil at this time can cause a decrease in the quality of the harvest.
When you shouldn't water potatoes
Many gardeners begin to water the popular crop frequently too early. This is a grave mistake.
There is no need to replenish the moisture deficit in the potato bed before the plant blooms. This will lead to the tops developing first. In this case, the root system will be weak.
But regular watering of the plant during and after flowering is a must.
If you do not water the plant in time during these periods, you cannot count on the full formation of tubers. It is unlikely that you will be able to collect a good potato harvest.
