Why Damaged Potatoes Should Not Be Stored with a Whole Row: You Will Lose the Crop
Every housewife strives to preserve as much of the harvest as possible during the winter period, but this is not easy to do.
It is important to follow at least the basic rules of storage, not to mention treating the cellar and checking for signs of disease.
But it is better to follow one rule without fail, otherwise the entire harvest may suffer.
Let's look at the advice of the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
