For this method, the soil for planting potatoes must be prepared in the fall. The plot is dug up by hand on the bayonet of the shovel and nitrogen fertilizers are applied. You can use rotted manure, ash and urea.

Planted at the time of the dissolution of the buds on the birch .This will mean that the earth is warm enough to not destroy the culture. You can plant the beds directly at the eye of the digging holes, and you can use the twine and pegs to make the markings and then the rows will be even.

Rows dig at a distance of 70 cm from each other. Tubers for planting choose not a large size 4 cm in diameter and they must be healthy. Before planting, planting material should be germinated within two weeks.

It is convenient to plant by applying the method to two people - one digs pits with a depth of no more than 10 cm, and the other spreads the potatoes in the wells with sprouts up. Put compost on top and not a lot of ash.

Under a shovel

Soil when digging the next hole is thrown on the hole dug before it. The step between the tubers is 30 cm.

After , the young sprouts of seem to be and, before blooming, hilling is necessary twice to increase the yield. Do not forget about watering and fertilizer with manure and mineral fertilizers.

How to plant in ridges

The method is also called Dutch technology.

Further care Traditional only hilling soil is taken between the rows and therefore the root system of the bush is not injured.

Two weeks before digging potatoes need to mow the tops.

In ridges

In furrows

A furrow is dug out, 20 cm wide and 15 cm deep. Tubers are laid out in it in 30 cm steps and slightly sprinkled with earth. As the tops grow, the ground sprinkles until a mound grows above the ground.

Dumping earth from above, use also humus and ash.

The

holes are made with the help of a special stake. For such a plant it is good to have two people - one goes and does the marking with the help of a stake, and the second follows him to plant potatoes, at the same time filling it with earth.

Preparing the soil beforehand in the fall by digging up and adding nitrogen fertilizers.

Mitlider method

The reception of an American scientist doubles the yield. So, they dug the beds up to half a meter wide and with a step between the beds of 100 cm. The beds are dug up without touching the soil between the rows.

The beds are permanently laid out on the and cannot be transferred to a new place next year. So that the water during the irrigation does not spread in different directions, make the sides of the ground or boards. There is one peculiarity, in such a bed the tubers are put in two rows, but in a staggered manner, marking the step between the holes of 25 cm.

After the appearance of the first shoots, they are treated with potash fertilizers and covered with earth. Such layers can be up to 3 pieces.

With this method, is used a lot of fertilizers and this does not increase the quality, but only the number of tubers harvested from one bush.

The square-nested version of

. Or it is also called Gulich's method. For this method, the entire plot of land intended for planting potatoes is divided into squares with a side of a meter. A circle of humus with a diameter of 25 cm is laid out in the center of each square, and potatoes are sprouted down in the center of this circle.

In dry times, such plantings need to be watered with .

Square-socket method

In a barrel

put a mixture of earth and compost on the bottom of the barrel or bag. Then put the potatoes and lightly sprinkle with the same mixture. As soon as their sprouts appear, again they are sprinkled with a mixture of earth and compost and so on up to 70 cm in height.

This method is ideal if there is little land on the plot or most of it is covered with asphalt. Then these barrels can be placed around the perimeter of the yard.

Smooth landing

In the box

This method boils down to constructing the box to a height of 25 cm. At the same time, the width will be 100 cm.

The passage between such beds is about 70 cm. At first, these boxes are filled with earth from a compost pile mixed with rotted manure, and already on this mixture the tubers are laid out in a double line in a staggered manner in 30 cm steps.

.After harvesting, the boxes are sown with any sideratami.
