When you go to buy potatoes in the market, you get a fire in your hand. Somewhere forty rupees, somewhere fifty. But without potatoes, Bengali cooking is not frozen! What can be done then? Why, do not cultivate potatoes at home. It is a very simple method and there is no hard work. Just start cultivating potatoes at home without thinking too much.
During potato cultivation
Although potatoes are a year-round vegetable, the best time to cultivate potatoes is in November. At this time the temperature is around 15 degrees. The winter began to fall little by little. Potatoes at that time are but very good. However, if you want, you can start farming in October. In that case you will get the yield in two to three months.
Cultivated soil

Loam soil or sandy-loam soil is suitable for potato cultivation. It must be mixed with the appropriate amount of organic fertilizer. You will find organic fertilizer in any good nursery. The potatoes are very good. 40 percent organic manure and 60 percent soil should be mixed to make suitable soil for potato cultivation. The soil must be but crumbly.
How to plant potatoes
Many times the roots come out of the potato. Set aside those potatoes for potato cultivation. Spread the soil well in an elongated large container. Now cut two long spots with your finger. You will plant potatoes along that spot. Keep a gap of about three inches between the two spots. Now bury the potato in that spot. Place the root of the potato on top.
You can put five potatoes in a line. Now cover it with soil so that the potatoes are pressed. There is no need to water immediately. Leave in the shade for three days away from the sun. After three days, spray a little water. In a week you will see the seedlings sprouting.
Fertilizer on trees
Fertilizer is the food of the plant. As a rule, fertilizer must be given to the tree once a month. And how to make organic fertilizer at home without bringing it from the market! But there is no hard work. Put the dried leaves of your house tree in a cement bag. Keep it in such a place that when it rains, water falls in the sack.
During hot weather, sometimes add a little water in that sack. After about six to seven months you will see that the leaves have rotted. Now dry the rotten leaves and take them in a sand sieve. When you run, you will see that it is crumbling down.
This is your simple leaf fertilizer. If earthworms are made in it, then there is no question. Once a month, apply this fertilizer around your potato tub. This fertilizer can also be applied while planting potatoes.
The amount of water
Only once in potato cultivation. At the time of planting. But after that no more hard work is required. However, water should be given according to the rules. In the case of water, I say, do not give water in mud. The soil got a little wet. If more water is added or water accumulates in the pot, but the potato will rot. And when it rains, keep the potatoes directly where it does not rain.
When picking potatoes
Potatoes can be harvested after about two to two and a half months. You will see that the potato seedlings are completely bent at this time. The leaves are completely dry. And it goes without saying that there is no life in him. Now you will understand that the potato is done and it is ready to come out. Then turn the potato tub over and take out the potatoes from the soil.
If you cultivate potatoes in this way, but you don't have to go to the market to buy potatoes. Take potatoes from the roof of the house and cook them.
