Any experienced gardener will tell you that without properly selected fertilizers it is unlikely that you will be able to grow excellent quality cabbage with strong heads.
However, it is extremely important not only to apply the fertilizers themselves, but also to correctly determine the plant’s needs depending on its development.
For example, in the middle and end of summer, cabbage is usually treated with special compositions. Thanks to this, the vegetable grows excellent and strong heads of cabbage, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer.
What compositions can be recalled?
Potassium nitrate
This is a very necessary substance for the correct development of cabbage. We take only one spoon of the specified fertilizer per bucket. The advantage of this recipe is obvious: to achieve a lasting positive effect, the product only needs to be used once.
Special composition against pests
Every week and a half, it is recommended to treat the soil under the cabbage with a special composition. It is easy to prepare: mix tobacco dust, sifted ash and crushed eggshells in equal parts.
This will not only protect the plant from insects, but will also have a beneficial effect on the development of the vegetable as a whole.
Green manure
If you want the heads of cabbage to form quickly and successfully, then you should pay attention to a proven and affordable remedy.
For a bucket of liquid, take a liter jar of green fertilizer and one large spoon of potassium sulfate.
This remedy will be very effective and useful.
A bucket is enough for ten heads of cabbage.
