How to Cultivate Apples at Home: Easy and Productive!

Success in the Culture of the Apples of Earth at home

Growing potatoes at home is simple and rewarding. Here is a practical guide to help you get started:

1. Choose the Right Location

Potatoes love sunlight. Choose a sunny place in your garden or on a well-exposed balcony.

2. Prepare the ground

The floor must be furnished, rich in organic matter and well drained. Aerate the soil by turning it over and adding compost if necessary.

3. Choosing Varieties of Apples of Earth

There are many varieties of potatoes to be grown. Choose those that are adapted to your region and your culinary preferences.

4. Plant Tubers

Plant your potato tubers about 10-15 cm deep and spaced about 30 cm apart. Make sure to cover them with soil and water regularly.

5. Maintain Plants

Keep the soil moist but not wet. Straw around plants to conserve moisture and limit weed growth.

6. Harvesting your Apples of Earth

Potato harvest can occur about 3 months after planting, when foliage begins to yellow and fade. Gently harvest to avoid damaging tubers.

7. Store your Apples of Earth

After harvest, let the potatoes dry away from direct sunlight. Store them in a cool and dark place to keep them longer.
