How to feed carrots in July

In the middle of summer, a complex fertilizer such as nitroammophoska will come to the aid of the summer resident.

Based on this particular agent, which contains nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus, the gardener should prepare a solution.

There should be 40 grams of the above-mentioned fertilizer per bucket of water.

The result will be a liquid that simply needs to be poured onto the beds where the carrots grow.

For every linear liter there should be 2-3 liters of the product.

After completing the procedure, it is worth watering the plant with plain water.
