Every experienced gardener knows that hilling is a necessary procedure for many plants, which helps to strengthen them and also retain moisture nearby.
Potatoes, tomatoes and carrots especially need this.
But it should be taken into account that not all cultures need such manipulation, and may only suffer.
For example, you shouldn't hill up cucumbers.
The root system of these fragile plants is located too close to the surface, which means that it can easily be damaged during the procedure.
You shouldn't hill up onions. There is a risk that the fruits will quickly start to rot.
After all, the bulbs prefer to be in the sun, so it is advisable for them to remain “open”.
Experienced gardeners do not recommend applying the procedure to parsley, dill and lettuce. They can also start to rot, which means you can very quickly lose your entire green crop.
