Growing vegetables at home requires patience and skill. Here's a tip that will allow you to easily grow potatoes at home and avoid a trip to the supermarket.
What you will need:
Firstly, you will need a bag. You can use any bag, but it should be large in size.
You will need 35 liters of compost. You will add compost to the bag as the potatoes start to grow. Prefer slightly moist compost for better results.
The fertilization step is important, buy 45 grams of organic potato fertilizer that you will sprinkle in the bag after placing the potatoes.
Once you have gathered these materials, you can start planting your potatoes.
The steps to follow:
1. Prepare the bag by filling it with a portion of the compost. Make sure the compost is moist but not too wet.
2. Take potatoes and cut them into pieces the size of an egg. It's important that each piece contains at least one sprout, as this is where the plant will grow from.
3. Place the potato pieces on the compost in the bag, at a depth of about 15cm and a distance of about 30cm apart. Cover the potatoes with another layer of compost.
4. Sprinkle the organic potato fertilizer on top of the compost layer.
5. Add more compost as the potatoes start to grow, making sure the plant is never exposed to direct sunlight.
6. Water regularly, but not too often to avoid flooding the potatoes.
7. Wait about 10 to 12 weeks before harvesting the potatoes.
