Potatoes are grown everywhere and eaten with no less enthusiasm than in the entire post-Soviet space. Even in Japan, famous for its passion for rice, you can find potato plantings.
This is the method that was introduced by inventive farmers from the Land of the Rising Sun.
The trick is that you only have to work hard on planting once, but then you won’t have to deal with weeds and earthworks.
Stage one
You need to dig up the soil, add wood ash, and make furrows.
Stage two
Select potatoes with eyes and cut them into several pieces. These pieces are placed in furrows at a distance of 30 cm from each other, then sprinkled with soil.
Stage three
The planting site is covered with polyethylene film, which needs to be fixed at the edges. When shoots appear, you will need to make holes in the film so that they grow upward.
After this, all that remains of all the work is to harvest and monitor the planting density so that the tubers grow large. For this, thinning can be carried out.
