How to plant potatoes using Ushakov's method

Before planting, the soil is dug superficially (no deeper than 15 centimeters).

The distance between the holes should be 45 centimeters, the depth of the holes should not exceed 10 centimeters.

It is better to make holes with a shovel with a short blade. We fill each row with soil from the next one, then level it with the back of a rake.
