The formation of irregularly shaped root crops is a problem that gardeners encounter quite often.
However, avoiding it is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance.
To get perfectly even carrots, just follow three simple rules.
They were listed by the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
Watering correctly
At different periods of its growth and development, garden crops need different amounts of water.
So, in the first half month after planting, carrots need to be watered regularly. However, you should not use a large amount of liquid.
But after thinning, the procedure should be done less frequently. At the same time, it is desirable that each watering at this stage be abundant: the soil should be moistened to 0.1 meters.
A month after the emergence of seedlings, the soil will only need to be moistened during hot periods.
Loosen the soil in time
Carrots “react” well to “treated” soil between rows.
But the procedure must be carried out on time: only when the seedlings are "one month old". It is not worth it earlier.
Apply certain fertilizers
There is no need to focus on organic fertilizers. The plant will “react” much better to mineral ones.
First you need to use urea, and then calcium sulfate and superphosphate.
Earlier, the expert told how to “rejuvenate” rose bushes using soda.
