Any gardener knows that a lack of important substances or microelements in the soil can lead to a deterioration in the taste of fruits and root crops.
However, it also happens that the taste of a vegetable deteriorates due to an excess of one or another component in the soil cover.
Very often, summer residents make mistakes when growing radishes.
They use fertilizers that are completely unsuitable for the popular garden crop.
So, what exactly should not be fed to radishes? This question was answered by the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
Fertilizers that are not suitable for radishes
In no case should fertilizers containing a lot of nitrogen be added to the soil in the bed where radishes are grown.
The fact is that the plant does not “react” well to this microelement.
Due to the excess of nitrogen, root vegetables lose their bright taste and become too hard.
Another common mistake of gardeners is the untimely introduction of fresh manure into the radish bed. This can only be done in the fall. If the gardener performs the procedure in the spring, the root crops will most likely be flabby and fibrous.
Want to get tasty, juicy and crunchy radishes? Remember about the danger of nitrogen fertilizers and fresh manure for the plant!
