Growing potatoes is usually done on fertile soil, but nutritious soil is not the only criterion for obtaining a good harvest.
It is very important to follow not only the basic rules of agricultural technology, but also to take into account weather conditions.
Also, some summer residents prefer to consult the lunar calendar during the planting process.
Let's turn to the recommendations of the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
When can you plant potatoes according to the lunar calendar
Here is a list of months.
- April. Numbers 1-3, 6-7, 10-11, 19-21 and 29-30. This is considered a favorable time.
- May. Numbers 3-4, 11-13, 26-27 and 30-31.
- June. 3-4, 17-19, 22-23 and 26-27.
Astrologers believe that it is better to plant potatoes during the waning moon or at the end of the waxing moon phase.
It is better to start planting when the average air temperature is 8-10 degrees, and the soil at a depth of 12 cm is warmed up to 7 degrees.
