It would seem difficult to find a more unpretentious crop than dill.

However, inexperienced gardeners can still lose their harvest of these greens.

The reason is mistakes made when growing this plant and when caring for it.

If a gardener wants to achieve a high yield of dill and not allow the taste of the greens to deteriorate, then the following actions should be avoided.

Planting in the shade or in cloudy weather

For dill, you need to choose a well-lit area. In addition, it is advisable to plant greens on sunny days.

Ignoring any of these recommendations will result in the plant growing poorly and very slowly.

Soil liming

The desire of a summer resident to add lime to the soil is quite understandable: he wants to make the soil cover less acidic and more suitable for growing garden crops.

However, liming the soil in the area where dill is grown is unacceptable. The greens may turn yellow and tasteless.

Adding ash

For a similar reason, dill cannot be fed with unburned wood residues.

Using ash can make the quality of the green crop very low.
