Broccoli is a vegetable that is not as difficult to grow, as it seems.
In this article, we will tell you how to do it correctly.
How and where is the best way to grow broccoli
Broccoli grows best in fertile, well-drained, moisture-retentive soil in full sun or very light shade.
Cabbage plants need to be watered, especially during the hot months, to ensure the soil never dries out completely.
Instead of watering too much and rarely, it is better to switch to frequent watering in moderation.
How to properly care for broccoli
Broccoli requires regular and generous watering. Each plant should use 4-5 liters of water.
The plant responds positively to watering with leaves, especially during hot periods.
However, after the head has formed, watering should be directed only to the leaves.
Broccoli prefers humus, airy soils with a pH of 6.5 to 7.0 and good moisture holding capacity, and requires fertilizers due to their intensive growth in a relatively short period of time.
