The reason why potatoes grow small may also be due to improper use of fertilizers.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist and landscape designer, tells us what is strictly forbidden to fertilize potatoes with.
What you shouldn't fertilize potatoes with
Under no circumstances should wood ash be used to feed potatoes.
This fertilizer deacidifies the soil and impairs the absorption of potassium by potatoes.
To enrich potatoes with potassium and phosphorus, it is better to use purchased fertilizers.
Potatoes also need organic matter, but it must be added at least two to three months before planting.
As a rule, organic matter is added in the fall or spring when digging the soil.
