We put this in potatoes and don’t worry about the safety of the tubers: they don’t sprout until the next harvest.

There is one little trick that will help your potato harvest stay in top condition until next summer.

Of course, without observing the basic storage requirements, no tricks will help. Only in combination with all the recommendations is the best result achieved.

To prevent potatoes from sprouting, they are stored in a cool, dry place (pantry, cellar). No sunlight or heat sources.

In addition to this, you can take up a trick that was used in villages in the old days. Some summer residents still use it today.

The idea is to use chestnuts and acorns, which are dropped directly into a bag, net or container with potatoes.

The method is completely cost-free and will help delay the germination of tubers.

Note

There is another interesting way to store potatoes. The crop is placed in layers with beets.

For example, first they put a layer of beets, then potatoes, and so on. What's the point? The beets absorb excess moisture, which they need for better storage.

The result is a harmonious combination, thanks to which the harvest retains its marketable appearance longer.
