How to plant potatoes in a container in 5 easy steps



Put these actions into the correct order: 





Place the seed potato chunks on the soil. They should not touch, and the cut side should be down with the eyes pointing up.


Layer the bottom of the container with a 4-6 inches of high quality soil and compost. If you didn’t dust your potato seed chunks with sulfur, you might want to amend the soil with sulfur. This will protect the spuds from rot in moist soil, deter potato bugs, and acidify the soil.


In about two weeks you should see sprouts emerging from the soil. When these sprouts are about 6-8 inches long add another layer of soil and compost around the sprouts. As the potato sprouts continue to grow, mound dirt around them. The more the sprouts grow, the more soil you add. By the end of the growing season your container will be filled with soil and potatoes.


Put another few inches of soil and compost on top of the potatoes. At this point your container will be mostly empty. Don’t worry; it will fill up soon enough.


If you’re using a container, drill drainage holes into the bottom. If you have a couple of cinder blocks or bricks on hand, then place the container on top of them for better drainage. 

 






No matter how you grow your potatoes–in a garden or container–be mindful of their moisture level. They want to be evenly moist but not wet.

UNIT 1. PARTS AND FUNCTIONS OF A PLANT

Imagen
THE PLANT A plant is a living organism. It is made up of different parts, each or which has a particular purpose, or specialized function. If one part of the plant is not functioning properly the whole plant will suffer. But we may cut flowers off the plant or prune the roots or the branches. Such damage is only temporary and so the plant will continue to grow. Plants have two Organ Systems : the shoot system and the root system. 1. The root system is below ground. This system includes roots, tubers (an enlarged, fleshy, underground stem with buds capable of producing new plants) and rhizomes (a horizontal stem that is usually underground and roots grow from it.) 2. The shoot system is above ground. This system includes these organs: stems, leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds.  THE ROOT The root is usually below the ground. It has two main functions: 1.-It absorbs the water and minerals from the soil and sometimes stores food. 2.-It holds or ancho
