It has long been known that the harvest depends not only on the quality of the seed material, the condition of the soil and other agricultural factors.
The night light makes its invisible contribution, and to ensure that your efforts are not in vain, gardeners recommend periodically looking at the lunar calendar.
Long-term observations of the Moon's behavior have shown that if you plant fruit and vegetable crops on so-called unfavorable days, you can't count on a harvest.
In total, during the lunar cycle, two such moments arise: the new moon and the full moon.
Tips for planting potatoes
However, in addition to the lunar phases, it is important to remember that a good harvest will only be achieved by carefully prepared seed material (weighing 30-90 grams), following crop rotation rules (changing the field once every 2 years), as well as warming up and sprouting potatoes (10 days before planting, the tubers are left in a room with an air temperature of at least 20 degrees Celsius).
Treatment against diseases and pests with fungicidal and insecticidal preparations is mandatory.
When to plant potatoes
Everything else depends on the night light and the efforts of the summer resident.
But if we take into account the lunar factor, then we need to plan planting for the first half of May.
As for spring 2023, in this case, it is worth marking the 2nd-4th and from the 7th to the 10th in the calendar.
Remember that by the time of planting the soil should warm up to 8 degrees Celsius at a depth of 10-12 cm.
