How are potatoes grow?

Answer 1

Grow a PotatoChoose a potato with lots of eyes and suspend it with the eyes up in a jar of water. Allow just the bottom to touch the water and use toothpicks to keep the potato suspended if the mouth of the jar is too big. If you use a regular potato, it will need a cool, dark place to sprout. Sweet potatoes need light and warmth. Once the roots have formed carefully plant it in a container of good potting soil and place it in good light. It will need plenty of room to grow!

Harvest the sweet potatoes four months after planting by cutting off the vines at their base. Lift the top tire off the tower. Pull the sweet potatoes from out of the remaining dirt. Check for any that have grown in the tire's rim. Remove the second tire and gather any potatoes that may have grown that deeply in the tower.

Potatoes are a root crop grown in the soil. The portion of the plant above the soil is toxic. Harvested by a tractor rake that lifts them out of the soil. At home, many people grow potatoes in hay bales for convenience of harvesting, moisture retention and the heat provided by the hay allows for faster growth.

Potato and sweet potato are two differentroot vegetables.

However, here is the method of growing sweet potatoes. The method is same for growing potatoes also.

• Put a whole sweet potato in a jar or container of water where half of the potato will set above the water line.
• In a few weeks, the potato below the water line will sprout roots and the potato above the water line will sprout little plants.
• When the plants get to be about 2 inches in height, break them off the potato and put them in a glass or container of water just as you would a flower stem.
• They will soon sprout roots. Then they can be planted out in your garden.

Sweet potatoes grow best on the top of a mound of dirt as it makes them easier to dig.
