How to grow potatoes
Landing rules
In the autumn, scatter 3 kg of rotted manure per 1 m², dig up the soil for the length of the shovel.
Before planting in the spring of tubers days 15 germinated in the light at air temperature + 12-13 degrees. 3-4 days before planting, the tubers are covered with bags so that they stand a little in the dark, then the shoots will be more friendly.
In the spring, check whether the temperature of the earth is suitable at a depth of 10 cm for planting; place an ordinary thermometer there. For germinated tubers, the temperature of the earth is +5 - 6 degrees, for unsprouted - +8 degrees.
In the spring scatter fertilizer 1.5-2 kg of superphosphate and 3-4 kg of potassium salt per hundred, dig again. Dig holes to a depth of 10 cm, the distance between the rows should be 70 cm, between the holes - 40 cm.
Put the potatoes in the hole with your eyes up and sprinkle with soil.
Peculiarities of care
Watering
If the air and soil are wet, then from germination to harvest, 70–80 days pass. And with dry air and land, this process lasts much longer. Therefore it is required to water the bushes.
If the summer is not worth the drought, then watered 3 times. Immediately after planting, the soil is not watered, as it already has moisture from the melted snow. But 15 days after germination potatoes need watering.
The second time watered when the bushes bloom, as this means that tubers began to grow under the ground. The third time watered, depending on the state of the earth. If it is dry at a depth of 6 cm and more, then you need to water.
Hilling
Hilling protects young plants from returnable frosts, when hilling, weeds are removed, it helps oxygen to the roots, stimulates the growth of greenery.
Feedings
Top dressing bring after watering or rain. The first time is fed when the tops begin to grow. In ten-liter bucket of water poured 1 tbsp. spoon of urea. Under the bush pour 0.5 liters of solution.
The second time they feed up when forming buds, for this purpose pour 1 tbsp into a ten-liter bucket of water. spoon of potassium sulfate and 1 tbsp. a spoon of ash.
For the third time when the bushes are flowering, a glass of a semi-liquid mullein is poured into a ten-liter bucket and 2 tbsp. spoons of granules of superphosphate.
Diseases and pests
Diseases that can strike potato Breeze - late blight, nematode, scab. When blight on the sprouts begin to appear black, brownish-brown, purple specks.
At scab tubers also lose their taste, the starch content in them is greatly reduced. If ammonium sulfate, superphosphate is used as a fertilizer, the potato will not be sick with scab.
From late blight make an infusion: 200 g of garlic are pounded to a slurry, pour in a little bit of water and leave for 2 days. After the infusion is added to a ten-liter bucket of water and watered potatoes. This is done 2-3 times every 10 days.

- Colorado beetle
To protect against Colorado potato beetle You can use onion peel, pour it into the wells when planting, and after planting it mulch the ground. And also mustard, beans, calendula are planted in the aisle.
If you process the tubers before planting Taboothen the Colorado potato beetle, wireworm, potato flax, cicadas and other harmful insects are not afraid of potatoes.
This requires make a working solution. For 100 kg of potatoes, 8 ml of the product must be diluted in 1 liter of water.
- First, Taboo is diluted in a glass of water, thoroughly stirred, and then the rest of the water is poured. Before planting, the tubers are laid out on a tarpaulin in 1 layer.
- The resulting solution is shaken and sprayed on potatoes.
- So that the tubers are covered evenly with the composition, they are turned over.
In the composition of the taboo there is a dye, because of this, you will immediately understand on which potatoes the drug did not get.
