Applying organic fertilizer to potatoes

[E. Vinje]

Hello!

I’m happy to hear you’ve taken a liking to growing your own potatoes! Coffee grounds were a good start to getting them up and going, but I think a simple layer of organic compost should do the trick. I would suggest testing the pH of your soil just to be sure that you are keeping it in a friendly range for your plants before fertilizing.

Potatoes shouldn’t require too much fertilizer after planting if a good base layer was set to plant in. Feel free to check out our pages on growing potatoes and where to buy our organic compost here:

While doing a little more research, I found a website with a gal who uses coffee grounds before planting and the progression she takes, along with another page that describes how to use coffee grounds in the garden with instructions.

Her experience: https://groundtoground.org/2010/12/10/potatoes-and-coffee-grounds/

Good luck!

I am using the Humboldts Secret Golden Tree organic fertilizer for my potato farm and flower gardening. It has the main feature that it provides explosive growth and will serve as the rescuer for the dying plants. Try this product once; you can get the result.
