It is very important to plant potatoes on time.From this depends largely on the size of the harvest. It matters the distance between the bushes, rows and depth of landing. The latter is defined as the distance from the top point of the tuber to the surface of the earth and depends on many reasons:
This is an old way of planting heavy potatoes.ground. In the treated area, along the tensioned cord, they dig the grooves at a distance of 70 cm. The depth of planting potatoes in the ridges is from 5 to 10 centimeters. If fertilizer was not applied at the site, then humus and ash are added to the furrows (half of the shovel and a tablespoon, respectively), spreading them out after 30 centimeters. Potatoes are laid on top and covered with earth, forming a comb 10 cm high. Its width is 20 cm.
As a result, the ground is at a height of 10 cm from the potatoes. This method is good because the tubers can be planted earlier, the beds warm up quickly, and the potatoes soon germinate.
It is used in areas with close groundwater storage. The height of the ridge there can reach 15 cm, while the depth of planting potatoes is 6-8 cm.
After hilling, the height of the ridge is close to 30 cm. At the same time, the ground is removed from the inter-row spacing, and the water after the rain escapes into the inter-spacing.
Productivity increases by a quarter. Harvesting with this method of growing is easy and convenient. But planting is more difficult, because you have to shovel a lot of land at the landing stage.
This is the easiest way.On the plowed field they dig holes 8-8 cm deep. Then they put the potatoes and cover them with earth taken from the holes of the next row. The distance between the bushes is 30 cm, between the rows - 70 cm. If it is reduced, then there will be nothing to spud the plants.
Недостатком такого способа является более позднее planting and a short time between when the ground is still cold and when it is already dry. In rainy weather, these plants are often damaged by various diseases due to the fact that the tuber is in wet soil.
Еще более трудоемкий процесс, чем на гребнях.From the autumn they dig trenches, put in them the remains of plants and weeds (without seeds), sawdust, covered with earth. They get wet in winter, and in spring, with an increase in temperature, they begin to overheat. This produces heat that heats the ground. Remove the top layer of soil, put the tubers and form a ridge. The potato is at ground level, and fall asleep by 8-10 cm. The yield when grown in this way is increased by 45% compared with planting "under the shovel." Potatoes are harvested clean, not contaminated. She has good keeping quality.
Very interesting, but at the same time time consuming.way to. Used in small areas. From building materials construct the walls of the future container. Width - up to a meter, height - from 30 to 50 cm. Their length should be from north to south. The passages between the beds are wide, about 80 cm. Right in these boxes there will be a process of compost formation from waste. Remains of grass, leaves, straw, sawdust are laid on the bottom. On top there will be a layer of manure, compost or humus. All this is covered with earth, taken from the aisle or elsewhere. The bed is ready to use. Having worked once, you can use it for many years. It is only necessary to update the components for compost.
Tubers are planted in two rows in a staggered manner.This makes it possible to evenly illuminate the plants, which increases their yield. It is two, or even three times more than with the traditional method of cultivation. And how much pride you will experience, showing your friends your miracle garden!
Take care of potatoes in such a mini gardeneasy and convenient. The soil does not need to dig. It is enough to loosen to a depth of 7 cm. This will be the depth of planting potatoes. Plant can be very early. Spud is not necessary. Do not stoop low to care. Tubers are not infected, clean, well kept.
It is applied on sites with the high content of peat.
Таким способом выращивают обычно ранние сорта potato Prepare a bed. Cover it with agrofibre. They cut a 10 cm long hole in a criss-cross in it. The depth of planting potatoes is about 8 cm. In order to place it in the ground, a hole is chosen from the holes with a narrow scoop. Place the tubers, covered with earth on top. Do not spud, because moisture from under the bush does not evaporate due to the film. When it comes time to harvest, the stems are cut, then the film is removed and the tubers are removed.
This method accelerates the ripening of potatoes for a month.
Motorblocks are increasingly used by gardeners.They greatly facilitate the basic labor-intensive work in the garden. With their help, they plow, loosen, cultivate the soil. Will help the walker in planting potatoes. To do this, install metal wheels with bushings and a bipod. Adjust it to the middle turn. It is desirable to go through the first furrow as evenly as possible.
Putting the wheel tiller near the edge receivedfurrows, pass the second. The distance will be about 70 cm. If it turns out less or more - adjust the width of the turn of the wings. Tubers are placed in the furrows at a distance of 30 cm. The depth of planting of potatoes by a walker is 10-12 cm.
You can sprinkle the tubers with the ground with the same motoblock.To do this, change the wheels on the rubber and bred wings bipod to the maximum distance. The wheel of the motoblock will go on potatoes, but the rubber will not damage it (if the sprouts are small), and the wings will fall asleep the furrow.
You can stack potatoes after two motoblock penetrations. Then the width between the rows will be slightly less - from 55 to 60 cm.
Dutch varieties are by far the mostfruitful. Therefore, they are trying to grow them in different regions, where potatoes can grow at all. Gardeners began to pay attention to what the Dutch use, what depth of planting potatoes is maintained. The whole process is strictly painted, and it is impossible to move away from it in any direction, since this will adversely affect the harvest.
It turns out that they focus on aeration of plant roots, that is, improving air access to them.
To do this, use special millingaggregates. They produce high quality soil loosening. When planting, they immediately sprinkle a high ridge in which the potato tuber is located. As a result, the depth of planting potatoes according to the Dutch technology is a little more, about 15 cm.
On the field treated in this way, the potato is arranged in two rows, the distance between which is up to 30 cm. Then there is an inter-row spacing of 1 m.
If the soil is clay, and even wet, notwarmed, then digging deep tubers does not make sense. Sprouts will be difficult to get out of there. Therefore, the optimum planting depth of potatoes for such soils should be 4-5 cm. Thus, early varieties are planted for sale, which are often covered with black agrofibre.
When the soil dries, the depth of embedding potatoes during planting increases to 6-8 centimeters.
If the earth warms to a sufficient depth, is well supplied with air, the tubers deepen by 8-10 cm.
In light sandy soil culture planted at 10-12 cm from the surface of the earth.
Depth of placement of potato tubers increases after hilling. It is carried out so that the soil becomes more loose, improved aeration, increased formation and growth of fruits.
Hilling is shown on heavy clay soils, where planting was carried out early, which means shallow. As a result, the layer of earth is increased by a height of 4 to 6 centimeters.
If the climate is dry, little rain falls, oroften droughts, hilling is advised not to. Under such conditions, it can lead to loss of moisture residues and a decrease in yield. But then the tubers can surface and turn green. Therefore, it is possible to loosen the soil and pile up the plants by a few centimeters.
The depth of planting potatoes in the Black Earth region depends on the readiness of the soil. In the warmed land, seedlings are deepened by 12-15 cm.
The lighter the soil, the warmer and drier the climate, the deeper the tubers are laid and the less they pile up.
In the middle lane, first planted under a shovel or tiller, and then spud and get, in fact, landing in the ridge.
Tubers of large size are planted deeper than small ones.
There are many more interesting ways to grow potatoes. You can cover it with straw. In this case, the depth of planting potatoes is 7 cm.
Straw is laid twice:the first - after planting, a layer height of 10 cm. Then, when the stems grow, add more. In general, the protective layer reaches at least 25 cm. If it is less, then the straw will not overheat, and the weeds will be able to break through it.
This method is useful to those who have practically no infield, and you want to eat potatoes with your own hands.
In a barrel of any material or tall boxlay a layer of soil at the bottom in 15 cm. Tubers with sprouts are laid on top. When they rise by 5 cm, sprinkle them with another layer of earth and again wait for the appearance of sprouts. Having thus filled up part of the barrel so that only a third of the height remains, they no longer fill the ground. Watered, fed. Crop harvested gradually, starting from the top layer. You can get up to four buckets of potatoes from one barrel.
