MYTH 10
chitting benefits the potato :sleepy1:
As a dedicated moon planter I am not sure it is a myth. Though I am not convinced by dung buried in horns and the mystical preparations.
At least chitted potatoes do not rot, or grow through the netting bags.
Also I am a great user of nettle tea. I spray my golden delicious apple tree with it and it has stopped the annual attack of fungus on the leaves.
I have several apple trees I did not stake and several of them are now at an angle of 45 degrees.
