Why do you put foil when planting potatoes?
First of all, let's figure out how to properly use this shiny material in plantings. Summer residents say that it is quite simple to get a crop several times better than from a neighbor with a similar composition of land on the site.
The foil is thrown directly into the hole along with the seedlings. Previously, it is crushed into a tight ball.
The size of the ball is small, enough volume for a small children's cam. We throw one such sphere into the prepared hole along with the potatoes. Further, all the manipulations are the same as for a normal landing. We take care of the beds in the usual way, freeing from weeds, hilling and getting rid of parasites, if any.

What will foil give when planting potatoes?
First of all, aluminum sheets have a complex chemical composition. In addition to aluminum, from which rolls are rolled, it contains iron and silicon in large quantities. And also a list of impurities useful for tuberous culture.
Their share in the total composition is small, but significant when used on the beds:
- copper;
- magnesium;
- manganese;
- zinc;
- titanium.
These elements nourish the plant culture, protect against the negative effects of diseases and parasites that settle and feed on young shoots. Directly product ball foil does not harm, but carefully protects it from the effects of negative factors.
The benefits of foil when planting potatoes
It should also be noted that the balls made of sheet aluminum prevent soil caking. They protect the tubers from the pressure of the soil walls inside the hole. Natural "airing" occurs, the earth remains loose and perfectly allows fresh air, water and ultraviolet light to pass through. The potato does not melt and grows at a high rate.
When dug up, the harvest is 4-5 times larger than the potatoes of gardeners who do not use a useful life hack. In this case, the balls of aluminum foil that have already been in the garden should be thrown away. They have already given away all the useful properties: this will be noticeable by their dull appearance.
