When to plant potatoes in 2015 according to the lunar calendar

6.05.2015 Potatoes The calendar

Determined by potato planting date on the lunar calendar 2015 is simple. It is necessary to choose the phases of the waning moon. Only not a new moon or a full moon: then any work in the garden is prohibited. The growing moon is not suitable for planting potatoes, because during this period the juice is concentrated in the upper part of the plant, and our potatoes are the root crop. Which means that the juice should be down when planting material is planted.

Planting potatoes according to the lunar calendar for 2015

You can start planting prepared tubers from the end of April. Perfect on the 27th and until May 2. Then comes the full moon and the landing is recommended to be postponed. Further, the Moon begins to grow, and as we determined above, this time is also not suitable for planting potatoes.

A good day for planting potatoes, according to the lunar calendar in any month, is the tenth lunar day. It’s great if the Moon will be in the constellation Leo during this period.

The time for planting potatoes according to the Lunar calendar 2015 in Ukraine or Russia must be determined correctly. If you plant tubers very early, then they will simply die. Three degrees of cold is already too low a temperature for tubers and they freeze. The optimum temperature for landing is ten degrees heat. This is exactly what it is installed in late April and early May.

What do we focus on when landing

The lunar calendar is, of course, important, but weather conditions must also be considered when landing. If the temperature of the soil is difficult to measure, then the air temperature is always known to us. Once it has reached 15 degrees Celsius, potatoes can be planted. But, if you don’t have such a thermometer, you will have to focus on the surrounding nature. In particular, the flowering of birch and bird cherry. It is this period, according to experienced gardeners, ideal for planting potatoes.

Interesting that planting potatoes according to the Lunar calendar 2015 in Ukraine is already possible from March 10, but in the suburbs and this region, you can begin to plant tubers from May 10. In Voronezh, Saratov, this time is postponed to May 5. In central Russia, potatoes are generally planted on May 25, which is already quite late. In principle, potatoes will grow, but the yield can be extremely low.

We select potato tubers for planting

Potatoes are propagated by tubers and, in order to get a good harvest, of course, you need to select the right planting material. Unlike other crops, it is the potato that is quickly affected by various diseases. Moreover, it does not matter what nature these diseases have. If planting material is weakened, there is no doubt that this will directly affect the crop.

When choosing, you need to pay attention not only to indicators such as productivity, taste and color. Maturing time, resistance to specific diseases are extremely important. It is best to choose large tubers for sowing, from 50 grams of weight.
