How long do potatoes take to be harvested
@stevenstractor
@stevenstractor 4 ай бұрын
They say 90 days but i normally do about 70-80 so they don't start getting rot. Usually when the flowers on the to die I start checking them. You can kind dig around one of the plats and pull a few and check them.

Wood ash works as good as lime for curing the spuds if you don't want to spend money. but takes a little bit longer to heal the cut. If you want bigger spuds then leave one eye ( chit ) on each spud/cut and you will get MASSIVE potatoes

Can we use anything other than powdered lime?
@brentcormier5367
@brentcormier5367 Жыл бұрын
I’ve always used powdered lime in preparation to plant. It helps to speed up the drying process and also makes it a lot easier to see the potatoes when planting. I also lime them good when storing them to help the stay dry and this definitely helps the longevity. There may be other stuff you can use but I’m not positive on that. Would have to do research on it.

Just wondering after watching this a couple times....Would it be better to lower your cultivator shanks a bit and raise your cultivator frame the same amount to avoid wacking the plants with the cultivator frame. Leaving the frame at that height, you could then drop your hilling discs a bit lower as well to avoid hitting the plants during that operation, or is that not really a problem for the plants? Ive only hilled with a rake and/or hoe and was careful around the plants, to not damage them.
@brentcormier5367
@brentcormier5367 Жыл бұрын
It’s not really a problem for the plants. Even if you lay them over some they will stand back up. You can make adjustments not to hit them to hard. It is preferred to keep the bar as low as possible, raising it as needed not to put to much stress on the shanks. As long as your not breaking them you’ll be ok.

Hey Patti sorry for the delay in responding. Had trouble finding this. When it come to all the modern age stuff I’m not always the sharpest tool in the shed but I’m learning quick. Anyway, once I cut them up, l cover them with lime and just leave them in totes. Try not to double stack them. I do leave them in the shed so they’re not actual in direct light but they do get a little light. Usually takes about a week or so to start sprouting. Hope this helps.
