Some gardeners believe in the power of fertilizers, so they constantly use various compositions to increase the level of yield and improve its quality.
However, it is important to understand that too much of a nutrient may not be the best option either.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", a landscape designer and agronomist, believes that carrots do not always need to be fed in August. Only late-ripening and sometimes mid-ripening varieties of the vegetable need this.
Is it worth feeding carrots in the last month of summer?
If you prepared the bed last fall and are sure that the soil is nutritious, then you can abandon the idea of fertilizing carrots in August.
You can also skip adding nutrients if you have been fertilizing the crop regularly throughout the season. In this case, the carrots look healthy and well-groomed.
If these points are not met, then you can pay attention to the compositions with potassium and boron. As a rule, it is recommended to add borofoska, potassium monophosphate or potassium sulfate.
However, it is not recommended to add nitrogen and organic compounds.
