How to Double Your Potato Yield: One Important Rule
17.04.2023 18:09
There is a misconception that it is impossible to harvest a large potato crop in a small area.
They explain this by the fact that the modest area does not allow for enough "acceleration". However, proper care will help to increase the harvest at least 2 times.
The secret lies in proper watering. It is especially important during the flowering period of potatoes.
How to water correctly
The best time for watering is in the evening. Experienced gardeners do not advise doing this in the morning. Otherwise, if the moisture on the leaves does not dry out, the plants may get sunburned.
Water at the root. Allocate 3 liters of water for each plant. If the soil is sandy and sandy loam, the volume can be increased slightly. If we are talking about loam or peat soil, the amount of water can be reduced.
Top dressing
Watering is the basis for a rich harvest. But fertilizing also plays a significant role in increasing fruiting.
When buds form, gardeners advise feeding potatoes with ash (3 tablespoons per 1 linear meter) and potassium sulfate (1 teaspoon).
