If you want to increase your potato yield with a simple trick, you should not skip one important procedure.

It consists of treating the planting material with a special agent that can protect the crop from pests.

It will be enough to buy just one natural remedy, notes landscape designer and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti". We are talking about ordinary birch tar, which many modern summer residents have forgotten about for some reason.

How to carry out the procedure correctly

First, you will need to take a little bit of tar (no more than 30 ml) and dilute it in a couple of liters of water. Try to stir it actively so that the product becomes homogeneous.

Then increase the volume of the product with eight liters of water and mix again. It is important to remember that the prepared composition can only be consumed within a couple of hours.

Immediately before planting, each potato is placed in the solution for literally a few seconds.

This will be quite enough for a lasting positive result.
