But before planting, it is necessary to decide on the planting method to achieve greater yield.

There are quite a few landing technologies that require different approaches.

Let's see what methods are highlighted by the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.

How to plant potatoes correctly

Here are 5 ways.

1. Under the shovel. An old, simple and uncomplicated method. We make holes with a shovel every 30 cm to a depth of 10 cm and throw in the tubers.
2. Under straw. The potatoes are simply laid on the surface of a loose and moistened bed at a distance of 40 cm, and covered with a 25 cm layer of straw on top.
3. Under the film. After planting potatoes, the bed is covered with black film, which accelerates the growth of the crop.
4. In bags. Fertilized soil is poured into a bag made of breathable fabric and several potatoes are placed in the middle.
5. Into the holes. We make a hole 70 cm deep and put the tubers inside.
