How to get two harvests from one potato bush

0

It turns out that during one summer season, you can harvest two crops from a potato bush if you wish. But to achieve such a result, you need to choose the right variety of garden crop.

Details

This may sound unusual, but you should start growing potatoes from seedlings. After that, you need to harvest the first crop in time, and then “process” the plant before replanting.

However, first it is important for the summer resident to understand the procedure and the nuances of each procedure.

Growing seedlings

If the gardener's goal is to get a double crop of potatoes, the choice should be made on varieties that ripen early. Good options are “Spring”, “Karin” and “Udacha”.

When starting to grow seedlings, it is necessary to achieve the formation of roots in all sprouts. To do this, the seed material should be stored in polyethylene material. Moreover, the filled bag itself should lie in a bright and warm place.

First harvest and replanting

After some time after planting the seedlings in open ground, young potatoes will have time to form. Most likely, the first harvest will be harvested in the first half of summer.

It may not be very large, but it will not be less tasty.

The smallest potatoes should be left on the bush. The plant itself should be transplanted into the newly dug hole.

The remaining cavities should be filled with soil that is characterized by maximum fertility. Next, it is necessary to carry out a whole series of irrigations, with a large amount of liquid.

As a result, the second harvest will be harvested either at the end of the summer or at the beginning of the autumn period.
