Experienced gardeners always scatter dill seeds throughout all the beds.
We'll tell you why you should follow their example.
Why plant dill all over your garden
Firstly, dill can be used as a green manure crop.
Dill creates a favorable environment for beneficial bacteria that convert plant residues into nitrogen.
In addition, through its root system, dill pumps nutrients from the depths of the soil and distributes them throughout the entire area.
Secondly, dill has insecticidal and fungicidal properties.
For example, dill can be used to protect cabbage from whitefly. Dill will protect tomatoes from late blight, and cucumbers from downy mildew.
