Dill planting scheme, with which the greens will never turn yellow in the garden: advice from the pros
Probably all gardeners who grow dill in their beds have at least once encountered such a nuisance as yellowing of the herb.
According to the expert of the online publication Belnovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , the reason may lie in the excessive density of plantings.
The spice is distinguished by its light-loving nature, and in order for the leaf blades to develop successfully, they require a sufficient amount of space.
With this knowledge, you can use the following planting scheme, which will save you from encountering such a problem.
Sow no more than 3 rows of plants per bed, with the distance between them being approximately 8-10 cm.
The seeding step is 2-3 cm. If you prefer bush varieties, this interval should be increased to 5 cm.
If this requirement is not met, the bushes will compete, shading each other, as a result of which yellowing of the leaves is inevitable.
Another bonus of such a scheme is that you will protect dill from various diseases, including fungal ones, which arise due to insufficient ventilation.
