Every gardener dreams of harvesting a bountiful and tasty crop of peppers every year.
There are many folk methods and means that help to grow a rich harvest.
However, in order for peppers to grow and develop well, it is necessary to follow certain rules when planting them.
Soil for pepper
The first thing you need to do is choose the right place to plant peppers. The soil should be warm and not have stagnant moisture.
Pepper grows well in loamy and suspension soil.
It is not recommended to plant peppers after nightshade crops or peppers themselves, so as not to be completely disappointed in the harvest.
Peppers will grow and bear fruit best after dill, zucchini, cucumbers, peas or beans.
Feeding peppers
In order to create nutritious soil no worse than black soil, it is necessary to add a special mixture.
It should also be taken into account that pepper does not like acidic soils, so fresh manure is not suitable as a fertilizer.
It is not necessary to add a lot of fertilizers to fertile soil; in this case, it is enough to add only ash.
If you don’t have ash, compost or humus at hand, then ready-made mixtures will come in handy.
Before planting, it is necessary to distribute the nutrient mixture over the bed and mix it with the soil.
It is important to remember that peppers need sufficient moisture and light, so do not forget to water and feed the plants.
By following these simple rules, you can grow healthy and tasty peppers in your garden.
