Although the days suitable for sowing carrots are still far away, why not study information on how to care for the crop so that the harvest is truly gigantic?

According to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , experienced gardeners use a saline solution to achieve this goal.

There is a common belief among gardeners that salt water activates nutrients in the soil, repels pests such as carrot flies and moles, and increases the carotene content of carrots.

All this makes carrots not only larger, but also sweeter and tastier.

To use salt water to water your carrots, you'll need some simple tools, such as a bucket, a tablespoon, salt, and a garden sprayer or watering can. A sprayer will be especially useful if you have a large garden, but a watering can will work just as well for a small garden.

If you want to prevent carrots from rotting, add 1 tablespoon of table salt to 10 liters of water and water the moist soil with this mixture.

But in order to prepare the fertilizer, you will need to boil water in a bucket and add 2 tablespoons of salt.

Cool the water so that it is still warm and spray this mixture under the carrot leaves.
