When growing cabbage, it is important not to miss the moment when the heads begin to form.
If the culture lacks nutrition, then the heads are tied weakly, or even do not rush to begin this process at all.
Therefore, at the moment when the formation of the head of cabbage is just beginning, the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", landscape designer and scientist-agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh advises to carry out additional feeding.
What do they "treat" cabbage with at such moments?
Nettle
This fertilizer helps cabbage quickly and effectively grow high-quality green mass, which will be enough to form a head of cabbage.
Choose any large container and fill it with nettles up to a third. The weed should be chopped beforehand. Then add yeast at a rate of 50 grams per 10 liters.
Pour in water, but not to the very edge, as fermentation will occur.
You need to wait for a week and a half. For each liter of concentrate, take a bucket of water.
Manure
This product will also cope with the task perfectly. You need to fill a fifth of the container with fertilizer, pour in water.
We wait a little less than a week (about five days).
Then we dilute the concentrated product again at a rate of 1 liter to 10.
