When planting potatoes, put these 2 products in the holes: the harvest will be abundant

To get a rich potato harvest, you need to apply fertilizers during planting.

A popular method is adding a large amount of various “chemicals” (nitrophoska, potassium sulfate, ammonium nitrate) mixed with compost to the holes.

However, an expert from the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh assures that a summer resident can quite easily limit himself to using two means.

We are talking about one type of “organic” and one complex fertilizer.

In this case, the maximum harvest will be obtained with minimal effort.

What two means are we talking about?

When planting potatoes, add a handful of ash and five grams of nitroammophoska to each hole.

The combination of unburned wood residues with complex fertilizer gives an amazing effect.

The garden crop immediately receives all the compounds and microelements it needs. It is unlikely that such an effect will be achieved using only one fertilizer.

At the same time, there is no excess of nutrients, which sometimes happens when using several types of “chemicals” at once.
