There is a persistent opinion among summer residents that cabbage is a capricious crop that requires an approach.

So, if you are interested in how to always get a large harvest of firm heads of cabbage, grab a chair and sit down comfortably – this is exactly what we will tell you about in this article.

What to do if cabbage does not form heads

It happens that even with proper care, cabbage refuses to form heads. As a rule, this state of affairs is the result of a lack of iodine and boron.

The first thing to do is to apply foliar iodine.

To do this, you will need a 5% pharmaceutical solution, 40 drops of which must be dissolved in a bucket of water.

You will need 1 liter of solution per bush; water the bed with water.

This composition should be applied in the morning, and in the evening of the same day it is necessary to use a solution of boric acid.

Dissolve 10 g of boron in 1 liter of hot water. Before treating the foliage, the resulting concentrate should be diluted: 100 ml of the product per 5 liters of clean water.

Earlier we told you why experienced gardeners prepare potato broth every day.
