5) BUY THE VARIETY OF POTATO YOU WANT TO PLANT: When you buy a
mature potato tuber, look closely at the small indentations in
the skin, and you will see a small bump in each one. This is
actually a stem bud from which a new plant can sprout. When
these buds are exposed to warmth and moisture, they begin to
swell and soon sprout into entire stems with roots growing from
their bases and leaves at the tops. You can get the stem bud
from grocery stores.
6) TILL THE SOIL AND GET READY FOR SOWING: Start planting after
weeding and tilling to avoid weeds from growing along with the
plant and eating up the nutrients in the soil.
7) APPLY PESTICIDES IF YOU NOTICE ANY PEST REACTION: This is one
way of ensuring bountiful harvest
8) HARVEST ING AND STORAGE: this should be done immediately the
plant has grown if you don�t want others doing the harvest for
you. Store in barns that are moisture free. You can inform
people about it if you have intentions of selling.
