industrial scale. But at home these activities
significantly increase the yield.
Impala tubers sprout a long time, so for their early harvest
better to lay in the heat. Fruits are pulled out of storage,
spread in vegetable boxes in one layer and put on the most
bright place. The room temperature should not fall below +
20 ° C throughout the month. After that, the temperature is lowered to
15 ° C.
Experienced gardeners recommend sprouting pots in pots. For

then in April they can be transplanted into the open ground.
1. Fill the pots with nutrient soil, place
cut the tubers and moisten the soil well.
2. Cover the container with a film and put into heat until it appears.
seedlings.
3. Remove the film as soon as sprouts appear.

start have to take care of its loosening. Fruits with good
product characteristics can be obtained on the beds of the rich
humus Under landing make ashes.
The beds are located from north to south or from south to east, so they
will get more sunlight, which favorably affects
yield. Planted fruits are shallow, form
comb from the soil to a height of 7-10 cm. So the potatoes are faster
taking root, the crop is large. Between the holes left to
30 cm, and between the rows up to 50 cm.
Harrowing
spend 10 days after planting to destroy the soil
