Any gardener dreams of potatoes actively bearing fruit, since the vegetable will always come in handy when preparing popular dishes.
Not all summer residents know that you can collect a bucket of root vegetables from each bush only with the right fertilizers.
What should a summer resident remember?
The first thing that is important is to provide potatoes with nitrogen compounds, notes landscape designer and agronomist, expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
The first feeding is carried out at the moment when the first potato shoots appear. The procedure is repeated three times during the season with an interval of fifteen days. Any nitrogen source can be used.
As soon as you notice flowers on the potatoes, it is time for potassium compounds. The fertilizer is applied immediately and the procedure is repeated after 14 days.
It is best to use regular ash. To prepare the nutrient composition, you will need to add two liters of ash to a container with 15 liters of water. After 24 hours, the product is filtered.
Then we dilute a liter of the product in a bucket of water and water it. One potato bush requires no more than two liters of such fertilizer.
