Default Foliar feeding

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.
