Tips To Plant Potatoes In Your Garden
Potatoes are the staple food in many countries and continue to remain one of the most popular vegetables in the world. There was time in history when the whole world literally depended only on potatoes for a living. And when a great famine that saw a massive fall in the availability of potatoes broke out, lakhs of people in Europe lost their lives. In this article, citing the importance of potatoes, we give you these essential tips to plant potatoes in your garden.
Potatoes are known to be highly versatile plants and are immensely nutritious. When planting potatoes, there are certain things that need to be kept in mind. Let us look at the things to be kept in mind while planting potatoes.
Make sure that while planting potatoes, the ground is filled with too much moisture. If the ground is too icy, potato seeds will find it hard to grow. Make sure you don't plant them too early. The soil conditions need to be favourable if you want potatoes to grow.
Potatoes basically grow from seed potatoes. Seed potatoes are potatoes with just one eye. You don't usually see potato seeds being available in the markets, for potatoes grow from seed potatoes. Next, coming to the quantity of potatoes you wish to see growing...
Seed potatoes that have lesser eyes do not usually produce a good quantity of potatoes. Potatoes need to be planted about two to three inches deep in the soil. The soil has to warm. Once you reach about two weeks into the growth of the plant, hilling needs to be performed to make sure you reap a good harvest. Make sure you do not miss out on hilling, for if that is not done, potatoes get exposed to sunlight and turn green in colour.
