Cabbage is not the most capricious crop, and its planting does not require special care.
But if you forget about the minimum agricultural set, you can lose your harvest.
Here it is important not only to water the plants on time or treat them from pests. In the latter case, dusting the seedlings with ash from the cabbage fly and cruciferous flea beetle will save them perfectly.
Vegetables should be checked periodically for diseases. If the sprouts show signs of downy mildew, they can be saved by spraying them with 1% Bordeaux mixture.
It is also necessary to remember about fertilizers that will help ensure normal growth and correct formation of heads of cabbage.
One proven remedy that experienced gardeners often use will do. You can prepare such fertilizer yourself very quickly.
How to prepare fertilizer
You need to take a bucket of clean water and dilute only 10 grams of urea in it. You should also mix in a similar amount of potassium chloride. But that's not all. Summer residents recommend adding 20 grams of superphosphate to this mixture.
Once all the components are thoroughly mixed, you can proceed to feeding.
