What tips on growing potatoes do experienced gardeners leave for their descendants: no longer a secret
Growing potatoes is a process that has been honed over the years.
It is not surprising that every summer resident has his own proven tricks and effective methods that allow him to get a decent potato harvest year after year.
We will also lay our cards on the table and tell you about tips that can be useful not only for beginners in plant growing, but also for experienced gardeners.
So, medium-sized potatoes are best suited for planting.
If they are too large, cut them so that each piece has several eyes.
In addition, the planting depth is also important - if you make the holes too deep, the tops will most likely reach unheard of sizes, but the potatoes will be small.
If you want the underground part of the plants – those tubers – to receive maximum nutrients, do not forget to break off the tops. This should be done 1-2 weeks after flowering.
Finally, if you notice the first signs of late blight in your potato beds, don’t hesitate to cut off and burn the tops.
