Planting, Growing, and Harvesting Potatoes

Planting, Growing, and Harvesting Potatoes

1. Humus

Humus is an excellent way to supply your garden with vital nutrients and organic matter.

Put 2-4 handfuls in the planting hole to give the plants needed boost, resulting in a much bigger size of yield!

2. Eggshells

Crush 3-4 eggshells and add them to your planting hole for a sustainable way of enriching soil naturally.

The calcium found in the egg shells will help prevent root rot, while also providing a steady supply of nutrients that you can’t get any other way!

3. Coffee Grounds

If you want your plants to grow well and produce a good harvest, adding coffee grounds into the planting hole is one of many ways that can help.

Coffee contains nutrients like nitrogen which are necessary for plant growth; it also provides them with minerals such calcium, potassium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium and so on!

This will result in more fruit or vegetables from these crops because they’re able gain sufficient strength after being fed all those great ingredients found in coffee.

4. Epsom Salt

To help your potato plant grow stronger and produce a larger yield, add 1-2 teaspoons of Epsom salt to the planting hole.

The magnesium in this mineral helps stimulate growth hormones that promote healthy cell walls which then results in better quality harvest!

5. Fish Heads

The wonderful nutrients in fish heads can help potatoes grow taller and produce more tubers. A study done by Master Program of Environmental Science in Indonesia found out the average content to be Nitrogen 8%, Phosphorous 4% and Potassium 1%.

When adding one head per plant, you will get the best results!

6. Seaweed

The combination of sea weed and potato plants is a great way to boost your nitrogen levels while also increasing the resistance against pests.

Plant some in each pot you prepare for planting, then watch as they grow larger potatoes with increased quality!

7. Bone Meal

Bone meal is a great plant nutrient, but it can be hard to find.

You should try looking in your local garden center for this mineral that will help make plants grow strong with plenty of potatoes! Use 2-4 tablespoons of it in the planting hole.

8. Manure

Chicken, cow and horse manure is rich in nutrients that can make your plants grow faster.

Just add 2-6 spoons of this powerful soil amendment to the planting hole for best results.

9. Cottonseed Meal

Cottonseed meal is a fantastic way to improve the quality of your soil. When mixed in with planting holes, it can help build humic acid which helps maintain plant health and growth!

Be careful not use too much though – one small spoon per pot would be best for most plants.

10. Diluted Bird Droppings

The most concentrated organic fertilizer you can get! Bird droppings are an amazing rich source of microelements that will help your plants grow faster and produce more.

Just dilute the poop with water in a 1:1 ratio, then fill up planting hole when it’s time for new seeds or bulbs to come out from their underground homes so they may flourish on this earth like never before.
