We have been eating new potatoes for several weeks now.
I planted Yukon Gold. Someone told me to put a little bit of bonemeal with each potato piece when I planted them.
My potatoes are huge. And the plants are still green with some blooms. I dig around the plant and remove one or two potatoes and leave the plant alone to grow more.
Does anyone else use bonemeal?
I have used Steamed Bone Meal in the past. I was buying it at a farm store in 50# or larger sacks and I may do it again this fall. It takes a while to become available but it stays in the soil for some time. I also have to add Dolomite Limestone as the soil here is acidic from the Redwood trees. I don’t put it on the Blueberries...
High in potassium, promotes tuber formation.
I'm going to be making a slurry and dumping it near the roots of my tater plants, if I can get in among them. The patch looks like a bonsai tropical rain forest.
