What to do if you are not happy with the harvest: look at the state of your garden
The location of your garden greatly influences the productivity of your beds – it is important to consider some factors to achieve the best results.
Each crop has its own needs, and the amount of sun should be taken into account, since you are responsible for providing moisture yourself.
In most cases, a vegetable garden is created in a well-lit area, where the sun shines on it almost constantly during the day.
Let's see what recommendations are given by the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
Features of choosing a place for a vegetable garden
The light requirements of garden crops vary and can range from 8 to 14 hours per day.
It should be remembered that ultraviolet radiation ensures the correct course of metabolic processes in crop tissues.
The absorption of nutrients from the soil depends on ultraviolet light. For example, reducing the illumination of tomatoes by 2 hours leads to a reduction in ovaries by 2 times.
On the other hand, excess light also has a negative effect on some crops – lettuce, sorrel, rhubarb and perennial onions.
