Planting rules
In the autumn, scatter 3 kg of rotted manure per 1 m², dig up the soil for the length of the shovel.

Before planting, the tubers are germinated for 15 days in the light In the spring, check whether the temperature of the ground is suitable at a depth of 10 cm for planting, place an ordinary thermometer there. For germinated tubers, the temperature of the earth is +5 - 6 degrees, for unsprouted - +8 degrees.
