As you know, you won’t get a rich potato harvest if you ignore pre-sowing preparation.

An expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh told how experienced gardeners cope with this task.

A month before the expected planting date, the potatoes should be sorted and laid out in one layer so that they sprout.

By sprouting, you will be able to wake up potatoes from their winter sleep - they will sprout faster and give a bountiful harvest.

It is worth paying attention to the fact that the light falls evenly on all the tubers - this is the only way strong shoots will grow on the tubers.

Therefore, it is worth moving the tubers from time to time so that sprouts form over the entire surface of the tuber.

The product should be used immediately before planting. Place the potatoes on a film and spray from all sides with a spray bottle.
