Qualitative seed material may seem expensive, then it is better to cultivate it. To do this, purchase a few tubers of potatoes and leave them in the light for germination. The ideal time is spring, bright sun will speed up the process. Short, thick sprouts - this is exactly what you need. Long, twisted, and sometimes broken white shoots, which often get potatoes from the vault by spring, are not suitable for planting.

So, the germinated tubers are laid in a box and sprinkled with moist peat. Shoots must be cut from the tuber and planted in a prepared bed. The mother tubers themselves return back to the peat, where they will give a new batch of seedlings. Just a couple of potatoes will give you dozens of bushes, and they, in turn, will provide seeds for the summer for a full planting of the site for the next year.
