Hilling is an important agricultural procedure that provides many garden crops with conditions for full development.
Rolling down the soil has a positive effect on potatoes and tomatoes.
However, there are many plants that do not need it at all. Moreover, hilling is contraindicated for a number of crops.
Summer residents who don’t know this nuance hill up all the plants in a row, as a result of which they deprive themselves of a good harvest.
So which garden crops do not require hilling?
Cucumbers
Active cultivation of the soil cover located near cucumber bushes can cause damage to the roots.
The result will most likely be a serious drop in plant yield.
If the gardener still wants to “help” the cucumbers, then instead of hilling, it is advisable to choose a procedure such as covering the soil with mulch.
Onion
You shouldn't roll soil onto onions either. The procedure is unlikely to have a positive effect on the plant.
Periodic loosening and watering of the soil will be sufficient.
Dill
Hilling can cause the death of this crop. The same applies to parsley.
To protect greenery from weeds, you should use mulch or remove excess plants manually.
