Experienced gardeners have long known that in order to surprise everyone with large, sweet and even carrots, you need to follow the rules of agricultural technology and add a couple of fertilizers.

If you want your carrots to be, as they say, as they should be, and also don’t want to see little worms near your root vegetables, follow their advice and apply these fertilizers.

The first thing to do is to use wood ash on the carrots.

To do this, add 7-8 tablespoons of sifted ash (with a heap) to a bucket of water.

The second thing root vegetables need is boric acid.

If you provide carrots with boron in July, it means that they will grow sweet and juicy, so without hesitation, add 1 teaspoon of boric acid (without a slide) to the ash solution.

It is recommended to first dissolve the drug in a small amount of warm water.

All that's left to do is add 4 cups of humus from the compost heap to the bucket, mix it and water the spaces between the carrot rows.

On average, 1 bucket is needed for 2 linear meters.
