Can you water cabbage with cold water: you'll never guess
The opinions of summer residents, both experienced and beginners, differ on the question of what temperature of water should be used for watering cabbage.
Some people believe that cold water is suitable for watering the crop.
By carrying out such watering, they believe, it is possible to avoid the appearance of insect pests in cabbage beds.
Others are firmly convinced that cabbage should be watered exclusively with warm liquid, the temperature of which is in the range of +17 to +22 degrees.
Proponents of this point of view believe that cold water stops plant growth.
In addition, the risk of the vegetable being affected by fungal diseases increases, and beneficial worms refuse to work in such soil.
Let's admit it: there are many more people who prefer watering with warm water, so it makes sense to listen to the opinion of the majority.
Despite the fact that cabbage is a frost-resistant crop, use water with a temperature of at least +12 degrees to moisten the beds; water from a hose in the late evenings into furrows, not into holes.
