When it comes to potato planting time, I always come up warm memories of childhood in the head, where the whole family to spend time in the garden. Physically, it was certainly difficult, but, first, he process of landing I really liked, and secondly, I was looking forward to the end of summer to see - whether our efforts were crowned with success or not. In fact, as of now, I remember from year to year, we planted potatoes on the same pattern, but each time the harvest was a surprise for us, and by the way, is not always pleasant.
Now I shoveled a lot of literature and tried all the popular methods in your garden, planting potatoes formed its system, which take more than 5 years. It fully justifies my expectations - harvest never let me disappointed. I want to share your system with you - it is quite simple, but very effective.
So, the first thing I do - I prepare potatoes for planting. To do this, the potatoes need to germinate a little bit, and then briefly warmed in the sun - even if he is a little turn green.
Next has already begun planting process - I do not very deep grooves and fertilize them mixed with manure. Yes, I use it a mixed - from pigs, cows, goats - so the soil gets more essential nutrients. Then fertilized furrows must be watered and put them on the potatoes.
Do not forget to leave enough space between the potatoes, the ideal distance between two neighboring - 30 cm. Now you can fill the potato land.
Many will be surprised, but the next stage of my system - mulching. I sheltering a bed of straw or hay, Moreover, necessarily the layer thickness should be not less than 10 cm. So we safeguard potatoes from sharp temperature changes and the growth of weeds, in addition, the land under the straw longer stays moist.
And yes, if the summer is dry, I I water the potatoes steadily once a week. When I gather the harvest on this work in the beds does not end there - I drop them either wheat or rye, which help to make up for all the soil nutrients.
That's how I grow potatoes, my system had not malfunctioned, so you can safely use it - potatoes will be healthy and smooth, I guarantee you!
