Dill is considered an easy-to-grow crop, but sometimes the gardener's efforts do not bring the desired results. The reason for this situation is the mistakes often made when choosing a place to plant the seed material.
The key to obtaining the expected harvest is always the correct choice of location.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told how to grow dill.
Dill loves soil that is well fertilized with organic elements, sufficient lighting and does not tolerate a lack of moisture.
Dill should not be planted in beds where celery or carrots were previously grown. In shaded areas with insufficient light, the shoots will be thin and pale.
Before planting, it is recommended to treat purchased seeds with warm water to wash off the essential oils applied to them for protection.
It is important to pay attention to the expiration date, and a preliminary check by soaking will allow you to check the quality of germination in advance.
It is recommended to fertilize the soil with humus and nitrophoska solution before sowing. It is enough to form a furrow 1 cm deep and 5 cm wide.
Forming a smooth path in one line will make it easier to collect dill for drying or freezing later.
The area needs to be watered generously, and after sowing, the seeds need to be carefully sprinkled with soil.
