Any one ever tried foliar feeding potatoes. Sure has helped my plants.

I've never grown potatoes but I have a worm farm and I make worm tea for my plants. Last year I sprayed my neighbor's potatoes and he said he never saw them grow the way they did that year.
I'm convinced that foliar feeding and innoculation improves yield. |

I make comfrey slurry. Potatoes love it and grow very large and produce much more flowers and berries.

Awesome!
I was just planning to plant comfrey and yarrow for the first time this year. I'm planning to do potatoes for the second time this year. |

comfrey is my favourite potato fertilizer but it smells extremely disgusting if you brew slurry out of it.
Be careful to use a dilution with water of 10:1 if you pour it over foliage. Otherwise you may damage your plants. |
