When growing potatoes, you cannot do without hilling.
If this procedure is not carried out, the soil quality may remain low.
In addition, the garden crop may have numerous “enemies” - weeds.
Therefore, potatoes need to be hilled, then the harvest will be saved.
And if you perform this action in a timely manner, you can get three times more tubers.
The best moment for hilling
It is worth starting to loosen the soil and roll it to the bottom of the garden crop at the moment when the shoots become at least ten centimeters.
In addition, it is advisable to carry out the procedure after the soil has been sufficiently moistened.
In other words, the action will be most effective after precipitation.
If rainy days do not come, and you can no longer postpone the procedure, then the beds need to be watered. And do not spare water.
Hilling up when the soil is wet ensures that additional stems will emerge.
As a result, a lot of potatoes will form. The number of tubers collected may be 3 times more than usual.
