1, soil selection. Before planting potatoes, you need to choose loose and fertile soil with good drainage and air permeability. It can be prepared by mixing garden soil and humus-rich soil. The planting site must be in a sunny place, so that potatoes can receive at least four hours of light every day.
2. Treat seeds. After the soil planting site is selected, the seeds stored last year should be treated. Choose potatoes with full granules and smooth and undamaged surface, cut them into three or four pieces, dip them in rooting powder and put them in a humid and warm environment. After standing for seven days, the potato pieces germinate and can be planted.
3. Sowing and planting. Put the sprouted potato pieces into the pre-dug seedbed, cover them with fine soil and gently compact them to prevent the buds from being damaged. Then water the soil thoroughly, and then water it once a day. After one month, the buds grow into seedlings, and the decomposed organic fertilizer can be planted once.
Maintenance method of potato
Let it get as much sunshine as possible, preferably enough sunshine, which can effectively prevent plants from growing in vain. Because potatoes grow very fast, if there is no light, the plants will grow white and the stems will be slender and stagger, which is very ugly. Potatoes don't like water very much, so they should be dried and maintained at ordinary times. Just wait until the soil is dry before watering it to prevent the soil from getting wet and accumulating water.
With the growth of potatoes, we need to constantly cultivate the soil. Avoid potatoes growing on surfaces exposed to soil and sunlight. If potatoes turn green in the sun, they can't be eaten.
