A vegetable that can be found, perhaps, in any garden plot is the beloved potato.
For some reason, it has become a common belief among summer residents that it is impossible to harvest a decent potato crop from a small plot.
Let us hasten to refute this misconception - the crop yield does not depend on the size of the garden, but on whether you follow one very important rule in caring for potatoes.
It, as someone might have already guessed, consists of adding fertilizers.
Experienced gardeners are sure that a bucket of potatoes will grow from one tuber if you “treat it during the formation of buds with 3 tablespoons of ash and 1 teaspoon of potassium (the proportions are indicated for 1 square meter).
In addition, watering the potato beds is also important.
It is especially important to carefully monitor the moisture content of the soil where the potatoes grow during the flowering period of the plants, visiting the garden with a watering can in the evenings, when the sun is no longer so bright.
About 3 liters of water should be poured under each potato bush. Gardeners who observe both conditions unanimously say that the potato harvest has doubled.
