Broccoli is an easy vegetable to grow. You need to know how to properly water the plant.
What soil does broccoli need
For normal development of broccoli, choose fertile and well-drained soils that contain many nutrients.
Before planting cabbage, you need to test the soil in your garden.
If nutrients are lacking, use special fertilizers for broccoli.
To feed the vegetable, adding compost or rotted manure is good.
You should apply a maximum of 1 inch of compost per 100 square feet of garden.
How to properly water broccoli
Watering is an important part of the normal development of vegetables and fruits.
You should water broccoli regularly, infrequently, but generously.
You will need one to two inches of water per week to water your vegetable.
You can also use drip irrigation to conserve water.
To retain moisture even in drought, use the mulching method.
Mulch will help the soil maintain optimal moisture, which will prevent the plant from drying out and lacking nutrients.
Avoid soil that is too wet, as this can damage the plant's root system.
Mulching the soil also helps get rid of weeds and ensures cabbage ripens earlier.
To protect seedlings from frost, use fabric or plastic covers.
For organic mulch, grass clippings, straw or sawdust are suitable.
