Semina di patate e topinambur: preparazione del seme e metodo nella paglia

Today we're planting. Potatoes and Jerusalem artichokes—two cultures, two different places, and a couple of things you might not know that change the way you work. The first is this: you don't plant the whole tuber. You look for sprouts, cut them, rub them in ash, and let them rest for at least a day. One sprout will take two or three. It's not magic, it's just something few people do and it's worth learning. We planted the potatoes in the olive grove—yes, among the olive trees—using the straw method. Last year we tried it for the first time, and honestly, we'll never go back. The less you have to do when planting, the less you have to do when harvesting, and the soil will thank you. The Jerusalem artichokes, on the other hand, go on pallets, covered with compost that the chickens have kindly prepared for us over years of scratching around. Golden stuff, look at that color. If you're thinking of growing potatoes this year, the part about preparing the seed is the one to watch carefully. The rest will follow. 🤝 Collaborations For collaborations and proposals: 📩 [email protected] ⸻ 🌿 Follow us on social media too 📸 Instagram   / daimon_ilpoderedeisogni   📘 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?... ⸻ ❤️ Support the Daimon project If you'd like to support the project: 💳 PayPal https://paypal.me/EnricoBombardini
