Growing potatoes from seeds

You are an amateur gardener, and you are faced with a new question about how to grow potatoes from seeds. And most importantly, will this method of planting yield a harvest? Yes, you are used to planting potatoes on your plot in the usual way for you, that is, with tubers, but technology does not stand still and now there is a very large selection of potatoes that can be grown from seeds.

Surely you have noticed that after planting a bucket of potatoes, you harvest only half of it in the fall, but the harvest should exceed the number of potatoes planted. Moreover, its quantity should be increased by 5 or even 6 times. Growing potatoes from seeds (seedling method) is a reliable way to achieve a good and high-quality harvest.

Technology of growing potatoes from seeds (seedling method)

In the second half of April, it is necessary to plant potato seeds in prepared seedling boxes:

• The soil should be moist.
• The seeds are not planted deep.

After the seeds have been planted, they must be placed in a warm place and covered with glass. When your potatoes have formed two true leaves, they can be planted in small pots. Usually on the 40th day, when the frosts have passed and frosts are not predicted, the seedlings can be planted in the ground. Having planted seedlings in the ground, they must be protected from temperature changes. That is, it is advisable to cover it with film and create a greenhouse effect.It is recommended to keep the seedlings closed until they take root and the days become warm outside. Having planted potatoes in this way, do not wait for the first year of harvest, since in the first year you will only be able to collect minitubers (health-improving material), which will bring a good harvest the next year, this harvest will be from 1 to 4 kilograms per bush. Good luck with your planting and a good, healthy harvest!
