Cabbage is one of the most common crops that almost everyone grows in their garden.

To get a big harvest, you need to take good care of it.

Sometimes you may notice that the ovaries on the crop are poorly formed, and some bushes do not have them at all.

This can happen for a variety of reasons, but the most important one may be a lack of nutrition.

Manure

Use cow manure. Add 1 kg of manure to 5 liters of water, dissolve and let it sit.

The first fertilizer is added two weeks after transplanting into open ground. When the ovaries begin to form, add ash. Three weeks after the first watering with manure, repeat the procedure.

Iodine solution

Add 40 drops of iodine to 10 liters of water and water 1 liter under each bush. This feeding will help the cabbage form beautiful ovaries.

Boric acid

Add 2 g of acid to a small amount of water. Then dilute the mixture in 10 liters of water and spray the cabbage with this solution in the morning, evening or in cloudy weather. If you do this when the sun is shining, the cabbage leaves will get burned and the harvest will be spoiled.

Brewer's yeast

Take 50 g of sugar, grind with 100 g of yeast, pour 500 ml of water and leave for three hours. After foam appears, add 10 liters of water. The amount is calculated for 10 bushes, 1 liter of solution for each.

These are popular, budget-friendly and effective methods that will help form good cobs.
