An alternative approach, using wheat bran, may be more effective for achieving a high-quality harvest.
The fact is that wheat bran contains essential nutrients for potato growth, including:
B vitamins.
Zinc, potassium, selenium, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, and iron.
Protein, ash, and fiber.
These elements contribute to the formation of healthy, large potatoes and can lead to significantly higher yields compared to manure.
How to use wheat bran for planting:
If you buy bran in pellet form, soak it in water a day before planting. You will need one bucket of bran for every three buckets of water. This creates a nutrient-rich mash.
Application:
Add about 300 grams of the bran mash to each planting hole.
Slightly cover the mixture with soil before placing the potatoes.
Agronomists say that by autumn, you could harvest up to 40 buckets of potatoes from just 20 bushes, with all the tubers being large and healthy.
Also, if earthworms inhabit your garden, it’s best to avoid using wheat bran. Earthworms may consume it before it has a chance to benefit the plants.
Indeed, by incorporating wheat bran into your planting, you can significantly increase your potato yield, ensuring that it will be nutritious and healthy.
