Growing Method on Potato
If you can’t eat your burger without fries then you may have a serious potato addiction or a very healthy appreciation of these tuberous crops. And to those looking for a low labor method of growing potatoes, the no till way is the perfect choice.
What you need:
- A plot of land to plant your potatoes. (This may be a part of the yard if you want)
- Bales of straw or hay.
- 1 kilogram of potatoes seeds.
What will you do?
- Cut each potatoes seed to about one fourth of its size.
- On your plot of land, make rows on the ground about 1 meter part.
- Set a piece of potato about every 0.5 meter.
- Cover the rows with straw or hay, at least 0.3 m wide and 15 cm deep in the center.
- Wait for the taters to take root within a few days. When the leaves of the potato plant poke through the straw and add a few more bales of straw and keep adding as the potatoes keep growing.
Some reminders:
1. If the ground is very dry, give the straw a good soaking just until it is able to hold enough moisture to take care of the potato plants.
2. When bugs attack your potatoes, whip out your garden gloves and squish these creatures’ dead. You may also spray them with pesticide, but make sure you use the organic variety.
