Why salt a bed of onions before the rain: a secret of experienced gardeners
What to do if onions turn yellow in the garden? It turns out that this problem can be solved, which will allow the onions to grow with renewed vigor.
But first, you need to understand the reasons for the yellowing - it could be the condition of the soil, low moisture, weather conditions and pests.
It is better not to wait for yellowing and take appropriate measures in time.
However, often the gardener does not have time and it comes to looking for ways to solve this problem.
Note that measures need to be taken in the spring, since if the onion turns yellow in the summer, this is a sign of ripening.
What should you do? First, you need to carefully rake the soil away from the roots and take regular salt, adding salt to the onion by eye.
If there is no rain for a long time, then use a watering can. You can also dilute a saline solution, which will save time.
This method can be called “grandmother’s” - it saves the crop from yellowing and increases the yield.
You can also feed the plant with ammonia - dilute 3-4 tablespoons in 10 liters of water.
