Spending a lot of time and effort on growing carrots, and then getting tasteless or bitter root vegetables is a huge disappointment for a summer resident.
To avoid such a situation, the owner of a country plot must properly feed the garden crop.
You need to use a fertilizer that is a source of boron. After all, it is this microelement that makes the grown vegetable sweet.
An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , reminded us about a real super-remedy that ensures the emergence of a bright taste in root crops.
How to feed carrots in August
Boric acid will act as a life-saving remedy.
Two grams of this powder should be dissolved in a glass of clean water. The liquid should have a fairly high temperature.
The result will be a concentrated product that needs to be poured into a bucket, almost the entire volume of which is filled with plain water.
The prepared solution should be used to water the area where the carrots are growing.
If potash fertilizers have not been used in the last few weeks before the procedure, the error must be corrected by adding potassium sulfate or unburned wood residues to the soil. The fact is that for sweetness, root crops need not only boron, but also potassium.
Earlier, summer residents were told how to use onion peels against diseases and pests.
