In the spring, many people arise where to buy (yes cheaper) Potato seeds. This is the advice of someone and will suit. Truly everything is very simple and cheap. I grow potatoes from cuttings.
So, in the spring, a month before the planting of potatoes, i.e. At the end of March, I start saving seeds. Every day, when I will take lunches, I take potatoes, inspecting And where many eyes, cut off the "cap" - this will be the planting material, a stalk. And the bottom is clean, cook and eat.
I take any small container: I cut out of the plastic bottles of "boats", I smell on the bottom of a bit of the ground, splashing water and plant the potato slice down, the eyes up. And fall asleep slightly earth. From above with a slightly pollen with water, and that's it. Potatoes begins to grow slowly. The bottom will be strong white roots, top - green sprout.
In early May, we plant this seedlings to the ground. If the green sprout is small - fall asleep it completely; If big is planted as seedlings. Do not pour. In one jar from under carbonated water, 15-20 potatoes are included.
Nothing that you will not plant. After all, the potatoes do not all right away. Of course, for the landing in the field it will be not enough, but at home the length of the early potatoes will get to the entire plot.
We are so squeezing potatoes for three years. In the first year, the whole bag of potatoes was grouped. We did not cut her, the benefit of the seed was a lot. Slawed early in the boxes, Thai. It turned out a lot of seedlings. Seedling was high, good. We thought, we get early potatoes, but at the beginning of May hit the frost, and there was a lot of potatoes, then the bushes moved away, but it was not possible to harvest early.
And then came up with it later and cut to save. The top is planted - the bottom to eat.
And in 2009, I planted for the released place after the early potato seedlings again on June 30.
I dug the hole, poured half a bucket of water, threw potatoes, buried. Busty were small. Exactly three months after three months, i.e. September 30th.
I must say, potatoes were small, like an apple, but was!

Good method of growing potatoes from cuttings, especially when there is not enough landing material. From each club grows several sprouts, and when they stretch at 15-20 cm, you can, excavating a bush, carefully break the sprout with the roots and immediately plant. You will be cropped!
I want to tell about my hectares of growing potatoes for landing in egg boxes.
In winter, when I go to the market, I definitely go to a vegetable pavilion, where they sell potatoes, and I buy you like (about 2-3 kg). So I recruit 10-12 kg of medium size by the tuber.
This is my seed fund for an early harvest.
I also reserve cassettes from the eggs. In early March, somewhere on the 5-10th, I wash these tubers and lay out in the cell with eyes up.
Boxes from the eggs lay out on all rooms so as not to interfere. A month for four times with water splashing. If there are warm days, I get out on the glazed balcony and put down so that the tubers do not stand in the sun, she hide over night. I sit on April 5-10 with powerful green sprouts in the dresses prepared since the fall, where all waste from the garden dropped: chopped tops and twigs, foliage, a little overwhelmed manure. Singing tubers with eyes up to a depth of 7-10 cm. First dipping spend, completely falling asleep plant.
And on June 10-15, the whole family is going to young potatoes!
