How to care for potatoes
Watering
During the flowering period of the crop, it is important to ensure full watering of potatoes. At this time, potato bushes are watered at least once and abundantly.
Plants need watering during the flowering period, so you can safely pour up to 3 liters of water onto one bed.
After rain, the soil should be dug up 5-8 cm before watering. If the soil is wet, it is advisable to postpone watering.
It is best to water potatoes early in the morning or in the evening when the heat has subsided.
Without proper watering, potato tops will quickly dry out and turn yellow, and it will be difficult for the tubers to grow.
Top dressing
In addition to watering, fertilizing is important during the flowering period. You will be able to grow a decent harvest of large tubers if you feed the potatoes with potassium.
To prepare the fertilizer, mix 3 tablespoons of ash, 1 teaspoon of potassium sulfate and apply to 1 square meter.
Dry fertilizer is buried in the soil immediately after watering.
