Do you store a huge amount of potatoes?
Remember that improper storage can cause tubers to sprout or rot!
To avoid this, you need to follow several important conditions.
So, it is desirable that the air temperature is neither too high nor too low. The ideal option is from 4 to 7 degrees Celsius.
It is also necessary to remember the importance of ventilation, high air humidity and lack of light in the room where the vegetable is stored.
In addition, it makes sense to use certain “additives” that extend the “life” of potatoes.
We are talking about leaves that are natural antiseptics.
The use of such products helps to eliminate dangerous microorganisms and prevent the appearance of mold.
In the containers in which the tubers are stored, you need to put a few bay leaves and mint.
Bay leaf has antiseptic properties: thanks to this additive, potatoes will acquire protection from bacteria.
Thanks to the bay leaf and the compounds it releases, the vegetable will not rot.
Mint also “fights” dangerous microorganisms, and at the same time eliminates the stench, replacing it with a pleasant smell.
