Every gardener wants to get a rich harvest of pepper.
But not everyone succeeds. It's all about the mistakes that can be made when growing this crop.
The first mistake is related to incorrect planting of plants.
If planted too close together, they will suffer from a lack of moisture, light and nutrients. It is advisable to plant the bushes at a distance of 25 cm from each other, and the distance between rows should be about 60 cm.
Peppers will not grow properly if planted too deep.
In addition, you need to remember about support. Peppers need to be tied up so that they do not break under the weight of the fruit.
Fertilizers should be applied periodically. Without this, it is difficult to obtain large and juicy fruits.
It should be taken into account that in open ground the procedure is recommended to be repeated every week or week and a half. But it is necessary to observe the measure, and also it is forbidden to add fresh manure.
In addition, as gardeners note, the beds need to be loosened every two weeks. But this should be done carefully so as not to damage the roots, which are located quite close to the surface. But you can get rid of this danger if you mulch the beds with sawdust or pine needles.
