Correctly planted seeds are half the success in growing this popular root vegetable.
You need to be responsible when choosing the depth of the planting hole. For some varieties, half a spade will be enough.
Potatoes can be planted at full depth only on light and fertile soils.
It is better to plant on low ridges (about 10 cm).
You should also avoid planting tubers too close together.
It is generally accepted that it is enough to leave about 30 cm between the bushes, and 50-60 cm between the rows. Experienced gardeners are sure that this method is outdated. For modern varieties, you should add at least 10 cm.
It is necessary to remember the distance between plantings so that the stems grow well and do not feel too crowded.
In addition, it is necessary to take into account that the distance between the rows must be observed for high-quality double hilling. In this case, you can expect that each bush will bring a good harvest.
The distance between the bushes should be about 40 cm. Between the rows you should leave 70 cm.
