Caring for cabbage is not difficult even for a beginner in gardening, since it all comes down to following a number of rules.
The main thing is to adhere to them unquestioningly, otherwise, instead of a good cabbage harvest, you will be disappointed.
1. Be sure to water the cabbage beds, adjusting the frequency and volume of watering depending on weather conditions. Dry soil is a sure death for the crop.
When watering the soil, try to avoid getting moisture on the cabbage leaves and go to the garden with a watering can early in the morning or closer to evening, when the temperature outside drops somewhat.
2. Do not neglect such an “option” as soil mulching.
3. Experienced gardeners advise tying up the lower leaves in the form of a bud - in their opinion, thanks to this action, the cabbage will evaporate less moisture, instead directing its energy to forming heads of cabbage.
4. Another necessary condition for a rich harvest is potassium-phosphorus fertilizer, which must be applied to wet soil. Ash solution can also be used as a top dressing.
5. Make time in your busy schedule to combat flea beetles and caterpillars.
6. Finally, the last thing that is required of farmers is to harvest on time.
