What to consider when planting
To get a good harvest in your garden, you need to take into account a number of important factors. In this case, you should focus on the following rules:
- Choose only those vegetables that are suitable for the climate of the region. So, it is useless to plant eggplants or bell peppers in the north. In such areas there is not enough heat and sun to grow such crops.
- Distribute the area rationally. In this case, it is worth giving preference to those crops that grow well in a particular type of soil.
- Don't plant too many vegetables. It is better to plant 10 pepper bushes and provide them with daily quality care. If you plant too many plants, the summer resident will become a hostage to his plot. In this case, he will have to spend a lot of effort and time.
- Apply fertilizers and prevent crop diseases. This will make it possible to collect the maximum harvest from a minimum area.
- Get rid of weeds in a timely manner. It creates extra shadow, which prevents vegetables and fruits from receiving the sun.
If the site is located in the shade most of the time, you should choose shade-tolerant varieties. With frequent exposure to direct sunlight, cucumbers and cabbage will have to be shaded. This is due to the fact that they are 90% liquid.
