Every gardener dreams of growing more juicy and aromatic greens that will successfully complement their favorite dishes.
In order for dill to grow like a weed and not require special care, you need to choose a good place for it on the plot. There are several signs of a bed that is definitely not suitable for greens.
Bad neighbors
It is better not to sow dill near umbelliferous plants. Carrots, parsley, celery and other crops of this family suffer from the same diseases and pests. Therefore, dill is sown near cabbage, potatoes or onions.
Shadow
Dill will grow unenviable not only near a fence or greenhouse. Other plants can also create shade. In such conditions, dill will be small and will not gain juiciness and aroma.
Sandy soil
Dill grows weak, liquid and tasteless in sandy soil. Therefore, it is worth looking for another option for greenery. In addition, dill loves loose and airy soil.
Acidic soil
The best dill grows where the soil pH is at least 6.3. Therefore, before planting, it is recommended to add dolomite flour, but not the day before sowing, but at least 2-4 weeks before, and better yet - in the fall.
Crampedness
Many summer residents like to sow dill between rows, diluting rows of garlic, onions, strawberries and other crops. However, even dill does not like when it is literally "undercut". Therefore, it is important to maintain some distance.
