1、 Method of growing potatoes

1. Prepare potatoes: prepare a germinated potato, or one that doesn't germinate. Cut the potatoes into pieces the size of a table tennis ball with a clean knife to ensure that each potato piece has at least one bud eye. Apply plant ash on the cut of potato block and put it in a cool and ventilated place to dry for a day

2. Potted potatoes: for potted potatoes, you need to prepare a large flowerpot and put it into the soil 2 / 3 of the height of the flowerpot. Place the processed potato pieces with the bud eyes facing up on the soil surface and cover with 5-8cm fine soil. Gently compact the soil by hand, water it once, and then observe that the soil surface turns white and dry, and water it once

3. Planting potatoes in the field: when potatoes are planted in the field, the land should be prepared and ridged in advance, and the treated potato blocks should be planted in the soil. After watering for one time, they will not be managed again. The potatoes planted will sprout in half a month, and the stems and leaves on the ground will wither in three months. Choose a sunny day and dig out the potatoes to harvest

2、 What is the best base fertilizer for growing potatoes

It is best to plant potatoes with farm manure, that is, animal manure, including pig manure, chicken manure, human manure and so on. It should be noted that potatoes, whether ground or potted, must ensure that the fertilizer is fully rotten when applying base fertilizer to the soil

Farmyard manure is generally fermented by composting, that is, the farmyard manure is piled on the ground and covered with a layer of soil to prevent insects from laying eggs. The higher the temperature, the faster the fermentation speed. Generally, it can be decomposed after composting for 3-6 months
