We water
We water cruciferous vegetables, onion vegetables and cucumbers systematically and intensively.
We weed
We weed crops regularly, especially where seeds have been planted straight into the ground and the plants emerge slowly.
We supply
Vegetables with a long growing season and late harvest can be fed top dressing with nitrogen fertilizers, e.g. ammonium nitrate.
Remove the shoots
When leading nightshade vegetables (tomato, pepper, eggplant) on one or two shoots, remove all unnecessary side shoots. It is best to cut them with a secateurs when they are still short.
After the broad bean produces 4-6 pods, peel off its growth tip. This simple treatment can reduce the occurrence of aphids on this plant.
Trim cucumbers
We can trim the cucumbers over the 4-5th leaves of the main shoot. Plants will create more side shoots that will grow into female flowers and fruit from them.
This will come in handy!
Store the inedible remains of vegetables on the composter.
