When is yam available?

1. What season is there

Yam is a common food. It is very easy to cook, has many cooking methods, and tastes good. It is usually planted in spring and available in autumn. This period is when it is available in large quantities. Eating it at this time is good for the body. It contains many nutrients that can supplement your health. But now, thanks to the progress of society, we can eat yam all year round.

2. Planting time

Yams are grown in many places in my country. Due to differences in regional temperatures, the planting time is also different. If it is planted outdoors, the North China region chooses to sow around the Qingming Festival every year, while in the Northeast region, it is generally chosen to sow around early April. If the ground is covered with film, the time can be advanced and planting can be done as long as the temperature reaches above 9 degrees Celsius.

3. Harvesting Methods

1. Manual: You can use a yam shovel to dig a pit about one meter deep. When you shovel to the upper end of the yam tuber, you can hold the upper part with your left hand and cut off the remaining roots with your right hand, and then take it out intact.

2. Mechanization: You can use a small tractor to operate it and then push it forward. This method is much faster.
