How Potatoes help New Gardens

Filed under: potato — TopVeg @ 8:35 pm

It is often suggested that potatoes are the best vegetable for a new garden.

* Weeds will be reduced because:

Potatoes produce a mass of leaves which compete with all the weeds

The dense canopy of *potato* leaves shade all low growing weeds

* Soil structure will be improved by the mass of *potato* roots
growing through the earth and drawing water up.

Potatoes are strong plants, and if they are fed well, the potatoes will
grow vigorously, making it difficult for weeds to develop and at the
same time, improving the soil.
