Even though sweet potato has strong adaptability to the environment, the most suitable environment for its growth is thick soil, loose soil and well-drained soil. This soil environment provides enough space for the full growth and expansion of potato pieces.
There must be many people who have shelved their planting plans because there is no place to grow them, but my grandfather next door has a fantastic idea, which is not only practical but also beneficial to the cultivation of sweet potatoes, that is, planting a large number of sweet potatoes in a woven snakeskin bag. Now I will share this planting method with you.
Three advantages of planting sweet potatoes in snakeskin woven bags;
1, which is beneficial to flexible movement or changing soil environment. The planting soil environment created by weaving snakeskin bags is not only loose and breathable, but also has good drainage and irrigation ability, which is not affected by seasons. You can also water the soil yourself in the dry season to keep the soil moisture, and you don't worry about water accumulation in the rainy season.
Sweet potato has strong drought resistance. After beginning of autumn, the required soil moisture should be controlled at 60% ~ 70% when the root system expands. The planting environment of snakeskin bag is very flexible.
2. Centralized supply of sweet potato nutrients. Generally, sweet potatoes are planted in the field, and many "adventitious roots" will appear without control. If more branched roots grow, the competition for water and nutrients will be more intense. The more nutrients are absorbed, the more vigorous the sweet potato vines will grow, so the tubers of the main roots will absorb less nutrients and the yield will decline.
If it is planted in snakeskin bags, then the sweet potato vine will not have such a wide space as a field, and the growth of adventitious roots will be indirectly inhibited, thus ensuring that the taproot can absorb enough nutrients, which is conducive to the full expansion of tubers, so that the yield of sweet potatoes will be guaranteed.
3. Convenient management and no land occupation. Sweet potatoes planted in snakeskin bags only need to be filled with soil. We can put them in convenient places, such as balcony, top floor, roadside and so on. , does not occupy land, convenient for us to take care of.
After introducing its planting advantages, here are some specific planting methods.
First, the preparation of nutrient soil: sweet potatoes like high-content organic soil and should not be planted repeatedly. Generally, it is necessary to take soil from fields where tuberous crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes are not planted, then mix the soil and decomposed manure evenly according to the ratio of 2: 1, put them into woven bags, and then apply an appropriate amount of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer.
Special attention: Because crops like natural high-quality potash fertilizer made in plant ash, not just sweet potatoes. Because this fertilizer can not only meet the nutritional supply, but also loosen the soil. For the growth of sweet potato, it is very beneficial to the growth of root tuber and tuber.
Note: when we plant sweet potato seedlings in soil bags, we need to punch several holes in the woven bag to facilitate the insertion of sweet potato seedlings. When cutting, the angle should be inclined at 45 degrees or inserted horizontally, and the cutting depth should be controlled at about 10 cm. However, attention should be paid to exposing the "one heart and two leaves" to the surface, and the remaining leaves can be pinched off and buried underground.
After the sweet potato seedlings are planted, the soil must be thoroughly watered for the first time, which is conducive to delaying the seedlings in the later stage, and then the appropriate second round of watering is carried out after 3 days.
The Spring Festival is coming, and I want to eat delicious sweet potatoes. I recommend this sweet potato in Tianmu Mountain sandy land. Delicious and not expensive. Try it quickly!
