Take care of the crop of next year is already needed since the autumn, immediately after the collection of potatoes. It is important to each stage, ranging from work with seed material and ending with the preparation of the Earth - then the next winter will exactly with potatoes. A simple presets it will help to significantly increase the harvest.
Selecting large potatoes weighing 120-150 g, I wash well with running water and I translated into the light for two weeks, occasionally turning over.
The land should also be prepared: remove all weeds from the site, make organic fertilizers (overwhelmed manure, best of all horse), to overheat, not breaking comkers, so that in winter the earth is well freezed and harmful insects died. Chemistry does not use.
In early March, in the first decade, I get out of the cellar seed potatoes and start cooking tubers for landing. First, in the club, a sharp knife make a "fertile ring" 1.5 cm deep. Do not cut through the core (see photo). After that, put the tubers in shallow boxes, at the bottom of which squeezed sawdust.
The room temperature should not be higher than 10-15 °.
Tubers before the start of germination shelter from light a dark cloth. When the first sprouts appear, shelter remove and light potatoes for 10 hours a day. Gearing seeds, moisturizing them. At the bottom of the box, where there were sawdust, add humus, mixed with sawdust in a proportion of 2: 1, the layer should be 3-4 cm. Welcome from the sprayer with water and laying the tubers. 2-3 times a week slightly spray. After a week, spray the aqueous hood of wood ash. To cook it, I take500 gzollas, pour out a liter of water and I give a day. During wet germination, thick, strong sprouts appear (photo 2). At this time, potatoes begins to give roots. If necessary, they can be picked up in a mixture of humus with sawdust. Tubers Hardened: Boxes I endoand on the veranda. But the second half of April, the soil she hide the dark film so that it warms it well.
Prepare prepare compost, humid and wood ash. All mixing and adding a mixture of the mixture to each well when planting potatoes. I mix it well with the ground, we put germinated tubers from above and sprinkle them to a depth of 8-10 cm.
Looking a potato prepared in this way, May 1-2. If the shoots appeared and freezing are expected, sprinkle their land, slightly dipping. When the shoots reached 10 cm, spraying for the night by a solution of manganese (2 GNA of the water).
For the purpose of the prophylaxis of phytoofluorosis spray with 1% burglar fluid solution.
Bushes grow powerful, stalks in one nest 14-17 pieces. Major potatoes, little things almost never happen. It is better to plant red potatoes (in the flesh in yellow) - it is tastier.
