It is difficult to find a more suitable method of growing potatoes for those who want to harvest as early as possible than the one that involves the use of agrofibre.

If you want to show off your young potatoes to your neighbors, the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh advises using white agrofibre.

It is needed to cover the sprouted potato shoots and thus provide them with protection from low temperatures.

Since the soil retains heat longer, root crops will develop faster.

Often, summer residents who use this method complain that strong winds tear off the covering material.

In this case, a life hack with stones or bottles filled with water, which need to be placed along the edges of the canvas, will help. You can also lightly dig in the agrofibre on all sides.

By the way, if you don't have white material, you can use black. Spread non-woven material on the previously plowed and fertilized soil and make cuts in it, into which you need to plant the tubers and sprinkle them with soil.

Agree, it’s not difficult, but this way you will protect your plantings from frost, reduce the number of weeds on the plot and harvest 1-2 months earlier.
