If your radishes grow small and gnarled year after year, you may not be growing them correctly.
We'll tell you about the most common mistakes when growing radishes.
Why do radishes grow small and gnarled?
Firstly, the reason may be irregular watering. But do not overdo it, otherwise the radish will crack.
Secondly, refuse to feed. It will not be possible to grow large radishes on poor soil.
You can avoid feeding radishes only if the soil was fertilized in the fall.
The application of phosphorus-potassium fertilizers at the fruit formation stage is a mandatory procedure.
But organic fertilizers must be used with caution.
Due to excess nitrogen in the soil, radishes grow small and hard.
Thirdly, radishes may grow poorly due to long daylight hours.
This is why it is so difficult to get a good harvest of radishes in the summer.
You can shorten the daylight hours by covering the bed with thick dark spunbond at 5 pm.
It is also worth remembering that radishes need thinning.
