The technology of planting potatoes, which is actively used in China, is very different from that adopted here.

An expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist, and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh spoke in detail about its nuances.

The first thing you need to do if you decide to use this method is to dig holes that are 50 cm deep and 70 cm in diameter.

After this, fill them with manure, the layer of which should be 5 cm, and then with soil and humus in a layer of the same thickness.

Three sprouted tubers must be planted in each hole.

Once the sprouts appear above the surface of the ground, they will need to be covered with soil and watered thoroughly.

Add soil as it grows, repeating the process 3-4 times in a row.

As a result of the procedures, root crops will form along the entire length of the stem. As a result, you will get a rich harvest that will impress your neighbors.
