Do not have time to get off the snow, as the landing begins. There are many ways to accelerate the harvest. Vegetables are planted in greenhouses, hotbeds, on warm ridges. But with the potatoes all is not easy. It should be planted in the heated land, returning morning frosts in one hour can turn a young bush into black straws sticking out of the ground. Therefore, they plant potatoes with the expectation of stable heat by the time of emergence. You can watch a video of how to plant potatoes in order to collect a good harvest. We plant in a bag, we collect in July
So a new method of acceleration has appeared. What do you need potatoes? Warm, moist earth, sunlight and the absence of sub-zero air temperature when the leaves come out of the ground. These are the conditions with a good light soil composition to create in order to get:
- potatoes in the country in uncomfortable places for cultivation;
- as a curiosity on the balcony or loggia;
- for very early harvest.
Consider how the potatoes grow in the bag. Preparing humus mixed with old brown sawdust. The composition must be added ash wood and superphosphate. On one humus potato will not be starchy. In addition, it should be noted that the land in bags in the summer dries out very quickly, so drip irrigation is organized, and the bag is placed in a pan or buried a little in the ground.

We grow crops on the balcony
In March, the potatoes need to be put up for germination. It is better if these are very early varieties, Ukam or Jarl. Potatoes should germinate in diffused light. It is necessary to spray a little bit of it from a spray bottle so that it does not wrinkle and lose moisture. After a month in April, the potatoes will be ready for planting.
Set the bag in the pan while in the room. It is possible in a dark place. Pour a layer of prepared mixture, moisten and lay out three potatoes vrazbezhku. After that, let it germinate, and as the sprouts appear, they will rise by 10 cm, put two more potatoes between the released ones and pour wet compost on top. Leave the landing warm, the darkness does not prevent the roots from developing. Came out all the seedlings and climbed 10 cm, now the bag should be carried to a bright place.
Humidity control should be constant.
Right now, at the stage of germination and budding, the future harvest is laid, small nodules appear. Now it remains only to monitor the temperature of the air and soil, once again pour a layer of earth, so that, in general, it was 40-50 centimeters and wait for the harvest. Early varieties grow quickly. If everything is done correctly from five potatoes you can collect a bucket. This will be your green crop.

Review: Thanks for the advice! I have two balconies and I have grown 5 bags according to this recipe. Everything worked out. And I took the potatoes for food from the valve bag, the rest continued to pour. Cheboksary. Margarita.
We grow potatoes in bags in open ground
There are many practical tips in the global network. For example, a video of how to plant potatoes in bags on a narrow, unsuitable site. One thing is not noted, how to keep the bags from drying out. This type of material transmits water and air, which complicates the support of the microclimate. Bags set tightly to each other, by the fall of moisture, they will decompose and potatoes will have to choose from the ground. And if you do not follow the humidity, then we get a negative result on yield. Excessive moisture will contribute to the growth of green mass to the detriment of the crop.
Circumstances are different, maybe the bags are not of such value as to keep them, but on the waste floor you can get a good harvest of pure tubers.
A method of obtaining a super early harvest in the open air
Prepare compost, which consists of half of cow's humus, brown sawdust, ash, and be sure to revive the mixture by adding the EM-1 Baikal preparation. After treatment with microorganisms, keep the soil warm for 2 weeks. After that, throw in handfuls of the prepared mixture into ordinary plastic bags and plant them over the potato, cover it from above to make half of the package and germinate in a greenhouse or room in boxes.

Gradually, when the potatoes germinate, pour more earth, and so grow until the earth warms up and the bush grows up to 20 cm in height on the rack. By this time, the earth will become warm, on the surface up to six degrees. It is necessary to loosen the groove with a pitchfork, put loose bushes in a row. Slightly deepen the plants in the friable, moist ground and rake up the upper warm layer from the aisle. Potatoes are planted and at the same time dipped.
After this, stretch the arcs and cover the landings from the bright sun and night frosts with agryl or other nonwoven fabric. When your neighbors begin to spud their potatoes, you will already have a full harvest. Reviews of growing potatoes in bags in this way are enthusiastic.
Review: I have added a way to grow potatoes seedlings. But the garden was planted in old hay dust and bedding straw from cattle. Rows on the sides covered, on top of the ground scooped. Bush warmed better and the harvest in early July was like in September. Ulan-Ude. Dorzhieva.
Experiment and have a good harvest!
