What fertilizer for potatoes do summer residents use? “Based on experience: manure and humus don’t even come close”
Without a doubt, every gardener would like to find a fertilizer that would significantly contribute to increasing the yield of a particular crop.
If we talk about potatoes, then it seems that such a fertilizer has been found.
Thus, many gardeners who can boast of impressive experience in growing this crop unanimously say that it is possible to get the largest tubers, and, moreover, in large quantities, by using bone meal.
Indeed, it would be hard to call such an assumption unfounded – if only because such a nutritional composition is rich in minerals and biologically active substances.
Let's name just a few of them: nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, iron, manganese, copper, cobalt, etc.
In addition, bone meal is a slow-release fertilizer, meaning it provides the potatoes with nutrients throughout the growing season.
If you would like to personally verify the effectiveness of this remedy, try pouring 3 tablespoons of bone meal into each hole.
Don't be afraid to overdo it: another advantage of this fertilizer is that it is not capable of burning the roots or having a destructive effect on the tubers.
