One of the mandatory conditions for normal growth and fruiting of vegetable crops in the beds is their proper rotation.
Without crop rotation, not only does the yield decrease, but also the fertility of the soil, which is even worse. If the plot is small, it will not be easy to carry out rotation.
Let's figure out what we can come up with to grow potatoes in one place.
So, we have figured out the importance of crop rotation - if you do not follow this important rule, then you will not be able to avoid problems with diseases and pests, and you will need frequent treatments with pesticides and other interventions.
As for soil fertility, fertilizers can help out here. If we talk about potatoes, you need to prepare for a potassium deficiency first of all, if you grow them in one place, and also nitrogen. Of course, phosphorus supplements will be required.
How to Grow Potatoes After Potatoes
1. After harvesting, tidy up the garden bed and destroy any remaining tops and other vegetation.
2. Next, the soil is treated with Trichoderm to eliminate the risk of spreading fungal diseases.
3. Next, sow green manure. This can be cereals, mustard, radish. They will improve the soil and prevent the growth of weeds and the spread of pests.
It is believed that in this case it would be more correct to plant lupine or peas, the shoots of which must not be forgotten to be embedded in the soil.
