Growing potatoes in flower bulb potato bags, specifically with the variety 'Lucera,' can be a rewarding and space-saving endeavor. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you grow potatoes in these bags:
**Materials Needed:**
1. Flower bulb potato bags
2. Seed potatoes ('Lucera' variety)
3. Potting mix or a mixture of soil and compost
4. Fertilizer suitable for potatoes
5. Watering can or hose
6. Sunny location
7. Optional: Mulch
**Steps:**
1. **Choose a Suitable Potato Bag:**
- Select flower bulb potato bags with good drainage. These bags are designed for growing potatoes and usually have handles for easy mobility.
2. **Prepare the Potting Mix:**
- Fill the potato bags with a well-draining potting mix or a mixture of garden soil and compost. Leave some space at the top for planting and watering.
3. **Select and Prepare Seed Potatoes:**
- Choose healthy 'Lucera' seed potatoes. If they are large, you can cut them into sections, ensuring each section has at least one or two eyes (sprouts).
4. **Planting in Layers:**
- Place 2-3 inches (5-7.5 cm) of potting mix at the bottom of the bag. Plant the seed potatoes on top, spacing them evenly and ensuring the eyes are facing upward. Cover with another 2-3 inches of potting mix.
5. **Watering:**
- Water the potatoes thoroughly after planting. Keep the soil consistently moist throughout the growing season. Ensure proper drainage to avoid waterlogging.
6. **Fertilizing:**
- Fertilize the potatoes with a balanced fertilizer suitable for root crops. Follow the recommended application rates on the fertilizer packaging. Apply fertilizer when planting and then periodically during the growing season.
7. **Sunlight:**
- Place the potato bags in a sunny location. Potatoes require at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily for optimal growth.
8. **Hilling Soil:**
- As the potato plants grow, add more potting mix or soil around the stems. This process, known as hilling, encourages the development of more tubers.
9. **Mulching (Optional):**
- Mulch around the base of the potato plants to help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. This is especially beneficial in warm climates.
10. **Harvesting:**
- Harvest 'Lucera' potatoes when the plants have flowered, and the foliage begins to yellow and die back. Carefully reach into the soil to retrieve the potatoes. The exact timing depends on your climate.
11. **Curing and Storage:**
- Cure harvested potatoes by letting them dry in a cool, dark place for a few days. After curing, store them in a cool, dry location.
Growing potatoes in flower bulb potato bags allows you to control the soil conditions, and it's a space-efficient method for those with limited garden space. Follow these steps, and you'll be on your way to enjoying fresh 'Lucera' potatoes from your own garden.
