If you’re contemplating growing your own potatoes, now is an opportune moment to select your preferred planting method. It’s essential to consider the right approach based on your garden space, region, and resources. A few years ago, I conducted a test involving the growth of potatoes using seven different planting methods, revealing the distinct advantages and drawbacks of each throughout the growing season.
Explore the various planting methods available, highlighting those that proved most effective and those with less successful outcomes.
The Row Method (Classic and Cost-Efficient):
Dig straight, shallow trenches, 60 cm to 1 m apart, in well-prepared soil. Plant seed potatoes 30 cm apart, covering them with about 8 cm of soil. Mound soil between rows as shoots reach 10 to 12 inches tall. Proven and cost-effective, this traditional method is simple and practical for larger plantings. However, soil quality may impact yield, making it less suitable for poorly compacted or low-organic-matter soil.
The Straw Mulch Method (Less Digging):
