Some people cannot imagine their diet without potatoes.
Still, this vegetable is great for preparing a variety of dishes. Some people make mashed potatoes, casseroles, pancakes and soups with this vegetable. Healthy eating enthusiasts prefer to bake root vegetables in their skins.
That is why many people prefer to grow potatoes on their own garden plot.
But the question of what to do to prevent pests from attacking the beds and to ensure that the tubers end up being large is relevant.
It's all simple. You need to use one available fertilizer during the flowering period. We are talking about ash. It can be added when burning branches, grass or logs.
But there is another option - buy it at a gardening store.
This is an excellent phosphorus-potassium fertilizer that protects against the Colorado potato beetle and also saturates plants with useful elements.
It is enough to simply powder the tops. But after rain the procedure must be repeated.
