In a small garden, there is no possibility to observe crop rotation. Even if you wanted to, it is impossible to place potato beds further away from where they are now on 5-6 acres.

To improve the soil depleted by years of growing potatoes in one place, in the fall, it is imperative to add a 3-4-centimeter layer of manure when digging.

Summer residents consider this the best way to restore soil fertility.

After harvesting, you must sow green manure, which is an organic fertilizer.

They saturate the soil with useful trace elements, increase moisture and air permeability, increase soil fertility, and also repel pests.

The main thing is not to choose rye as green manure, because it attracts wireworms no worse than wheatgrass. The best choice would be mustard.

It is good to plant legumes in the potato rows, which saturate the soil with nitrogen.

Also, do not forget that not only does the land suffer from many years of growing the same crop, but the potato variety also degenerates if it is not changed. Every few years, you need to choose a different potato variety for sowing. When choosing a variety, you need to start from the climatic conditions of your region, the composition and quality of the soil.
