Easy Way to Plant Potatoes

Potatoes are the third largest crop in the world, and are also the staple food of several ethnic groups. Currently planting potatoes easily and simply no longer matter we live follow the steps below.

STEPS REQUIRED

• Prepare the Seed

• Unlike some other plants, potatoes can be planted in two different ways.
  Using potato seeds directly. As we know, we can get potato seeds through online shopping or go to some of the local planters, or from the supermarket.
• Using the potato fruit.Some varieties of potatoes will grow with a small size, take part of the potatoes that appear on the surface of the soil at least 300 seeds of potatoes. Cut the fruit and place it on a plate of water. After waiting for a day, we will see that the seeds will separate and settle at the bottom.

• Prepare the Land We can plant potatoes on a plot of land, or we can put it in pots, piles of used tires and everything works well. The important thing is to make sure our land is free from weeds if it is possible. In addition, you can place some spades of compost to improve the soil nutrients that are necessary for potato planting.

• Planting Potatoes
  It's time we plant before winter comes in our area. The cooler the weather will kill the beneficial fruit pests, and the potatoes will require more sunlight as the duration of the day is longer than normal For example, On the Virginia coast, potatoes are planted on St. Patrick, planted in March and will harvest sometime around July

• Put the Potato Seed
  Put about 3 cm from the ground, and then make it look like a small mound above them. Potatoes will be better if the growers are given precise distances, so that if the potatoes grow normally, then they do not overlap the roots between each other. With the passage of the day, the stem will grow to add to the little mound, if the potato is growing and the sun is shining directly and gradually the potatoes will turn green and slightly toxic.

• Take Potatoes Regularly
  Maintaining potatoes as they grow will ensure the quality of their products during harvest.

• Flush potatoes regularly is important to keep the growth well. Once a week if the summer, or as much as possible also does not matter if it is needed.
• Clean all kinds of weed plants around our potato plants
• If we notice there is a yellow patch on one of our potato leaves then it means there are plant pests. If you do not want to use pesticides, ask the local planters for tips on how to cope with the pests naturally.

• Harvest Your Potatoes
  When winter is approaching this sign we must immediately harvest and eat it. We can harvest potatoes gradually "young" or "early" potatoes should be harvested after 7 to 8 weeks after planting (when the first potato flowers appear). Then we watch as well as wait and let other potatoes grow to the perfect size. We will know when the harvest when the vines around the potatoes begin to yellowish and turn to wither.

That's the step of planting potatoes in a simple way, hope you guys like it and hopefully this post can be useful for all homesteading readers, regards parting from me @myart, thanks.
