Good methods for winter storage of seed potatoes
First, sort the seed potatoes, pick out the diseased and damaged tubers, then put the healthy tubers into "nylon" bags, 10 to 15 kg per bag, and stack them in piles in an idle room, with a pile height of 1.5 to 2 m, but the pile must be kept at least 30 cm away from the wall to prevent damage from low temperatures. Then fill a plate or bowl with clean water and place it in the center of the room. After the Start of Winter, when the temperature drops and the water surface shows signs of freezing, cover with cotton quilts for insulation, and adjust the thickness of the cotton quilts according to the thermometer reading.
In deep winter, hang a door curtain on the door and curtains on the windows to block the cold wind from outside. This method requires little investment, the temperature is easy to control, and seed potato losses are few.
