How to grow potatoes

1. Site selection

Choose a plot with good drainage and plenty of sunlight, and then apply some base fertilizer, such as potassium fertilizer or wood ash. Be careful not to plant potatoes in the same place where they have already been planted for two years, as this will cause them to die.

2. Germination

In late December or January, place the potatoes to be planted in a warm place to germinate, so that they can be planted around February.

3. Cut

Cut the sprouted potatoes into pieces, making sure each piece has 2 to 3 buds. After cutting, apply some wood ash on the wound immediately.

4. Planting

After the potatoes are processed, they can be planted. When planting, dig a shallow trench in the soil and put the cut pieces in. The distance between two pieces should be about 15 cm. After planting, there is no need to water or fertilize. If you need to fertilize, you can apply some potassium fertilizer in moderation. Do not use urea or human and animal manure, otherwise it will affect the taste.

5. Harvest

Potatoes are very easy to grow and require almost no fertilization or watering. They can be harvested in May or June after being planted in February.
