Potatoes in August: Three Secrets Every Summer Resident Should Know
It is not only the quantity of the harvest that is important, but its quality.
The condition and size of tubers can be improved with the help of additional fertilizers.
To prepare the fertilizer, you need to dissolve a tablespoon of magnesium sulfate in 10 liters of clean water.
Once the product has been thoroughly mixed, foliar treatment against diseases and pests can be carried out.
Another remedy that gardeners recommend using on potato beds should protect against fungus. Folk remedies are suitable for this, but it is much easier to buy ready-made preparations, for example, "Ordan".
Thanks to this, the growth and work time of the tops will increase, which will have a positive effect on the condition of the tubers.
In addition, you can get a quality harvest if you remove the fruits from the beds in time, otherwise the tubers will crack. How do you know when it's time?
Here you need to focus on the tops. If they "lie down", then you need to wait about another week for the vegetables to ripen, and then you can start harvesting.
