How to grow potatoes at home.

Growing vegetables at home requires a lot of patience and skill. However, here is a trick that will allow you to grow potatoes at home easily.

To grow potatoes at home, you will need:

  • structural wood planks;
  • Pre-germinated potatoes: pre-germinating the tubers of this vegetable saves two to three weeks;
  • Soil: a little compost to cover the potatoes when they start to grow;
  • A natural fertilizer for potato.

How to build your container to grow potatoes:

Material :

24 wooden boards (16 x 5 cm)
4 wooden boards (30 x 5 cm)
A box of nails

Plant the 4 30 cm long boards horizontally in the soil of your garden, so that they form a square 16 cm on each side.
1.< a i=2> Add four 16cm boards to form the base using nails. Add soil mixed with compost and plant your pre-sprouted potatoes 10cm deep.2. Add soil and when it reaches the surface of the board, add further. Repeat the operation until you have no more planks left, while adding soil mixed with a compost pile. Prefer slightly moist compost for best results.3. Add potato fertilizer as you add beds.4. To grow your potatoes, remove the boards that form the base of your container.


This trick will allow you to successfully grow potatoes . Once the potatoes start to grow, add compost. Water as needed, but do not pour too much water. For best results, the container should be exposed to a sunny location. It is also advisable to start planting between March and April to obtain good harvests.

I did not forget it :

  • Separate previously sprouted potatoes well when planting them.
  • Avoid planting vegetables in the same place where you have already grown them.
  • Always keep the soil slightly moist.
  • Do not use the same soil that you used to grow the previous potatoes.
