Experienced gardeners always do two things before digging up potatoes.
We tell you how to properly prepare potatoes for digging.
How to prepare potatoes for digging
The first important step is loosening the soil between the rows.
This is necessary to break up the soil crust formed by rain.
By loosening the soil, you will provide the tubers with oxygen. The skin will become rougher, and the potatoes will be stored well.
It is also extremely important to remove all weeds from the bed before digging up the potatoes.
If this is not done, when digging up the potatoes, ripe weed seeds will end up in the ground, and in the spring the garden bed will be overgrown.
