It is necessary to use fertilizers to grow high-quality vegetables. 

It will also have a positive effect on the growth of cabbage, which will be laid in the hole during planting. Experienced gardeners use organic top dressing for this.

For this reason, a glass of rotted humus and two teaspoons of lime are usually placed in the pit. 

The last resort is necessary for deoxidation of the soil, since cabbage does not like too acidic soil.

All this should be covered with soil. It is necessary to ensure that the soil layer is at least five centimeters, otherwise there is a risk of causing burns to the roots of seedlings.

When growing cabbage, it is also worth remembering that this plant likes moist soil.

If you follow these simple rules, you can easily get large heads.
