Since potatoes are in great need of nutrients, fertilizers are taken seriously.
As a rule, the soil is fertilized in spring and autumn.
But this is not the end of the preparatory work stage, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, landscape designer and agronomist. You can also add nutrients directly into the hole.
What compositions can you pay attention to?
Ash
Many are skeptical about ash, but this is completely in vain. It is a valuable source of potassium, which is essential for root crops.
As a rule, it is enough to add a few spoons into the hole, combining the fertilizer with soil and water.
Complex fertilizer
Sometimes the soil is depleted because it has been used for planting and not fertilized. In such cases, there is a high risk of being left without a vegetable harvest.
It is best to add a nutrient mixture to the hole. To do this, mix 10 grams of potassium sulfate and superphosphate with the soil, and also add 20 grams of ammonium nitrate. When using this complex, even a "tired" bed will give a good harvest.
Peas
Few people know that ordinary peas are a very valuable fertilizer that can make the soil nutritious for a long period of time.
For each hole you need to take a handful of legumes.
