How to Get the Highest Potato Yield: The Gülich Method Explained

It’s all about one nuance

To get the highest potato yield, you need to plant using the Gülich method. Its basis lies in multiple layers. That is, planting soil throughout the season. In this case, there is no need to peel or clean the potatoes. The author of the Zen channel “Grow a Vegetable Garden” explained what this method is all about.

According to the Gülich technology for growing potatoes, you need to limit an area of ​​1 m2. You can do this visually. In the middle you need to pour a handful of soil with humus.

Create a round roll of compost. Then sprinkle it with a little soil and press the germinated planting material in a circle. Cover everything with soil on top.

When the shoots appear, you have to cover everything again with soil – the one that leaves the bus. This will create several layers of soil. The stems do not grow up, but to the sides, and they create new tubers.

With this planting, the potatoes will get a lot of light and air. It is also very important to put different fertilizers in the middle of the circle during the season.
