2 stupid mistakes because of which your potato crop becomes less
In this article I would like to talk to you about the mistakes that many gardeners and farmers in potato growing time and that reduce the yield of the most potatoes.
Of course, there are many more reasons, but I will mention only the most frequent and the most stupid. But before we begin, I ask you to subscribe to my RSS feed =)
The first mistake - every year the potatoes are planted in the same place
I'm sure many of you know that the onion-garlic is better not to plant on the same garden of more than 2 years, otherwise it will be fine. For potatoes this rule also applies, but most forget about it.

If you have only a few beds of potatoes in the garden, then put in a new place every year simply. But if you have an entire mansion, then it is impossible in this case necessarily in the autumn planting homestead green-manures (eg mustard) so that made up for the land resources.
The second - too deep and often put
During landing, some worry that the potato can be frostbitten when unexpected frost, so plant it deep. But from my experience I know that the potato does not like this and it is better to plant at a depth of no more than 7-10 cm., Otherwise the foliage will be a lot and little potatoes.
Also, do not be planted too close to each other so that the tops are well ventilated, otherwise it will suffer from diseases such as late blight.
