Growing large and juicy radishes is not as difficult as it seems. Proper fertilizer is important.
How to grow large radishes
It is important to feed radishes in spring and summer, before sowing seeds in the ground.
To do this, dig up the area again and add sifted wood ash, urea and superphosphate to the organic soil.
After this, embed the organic matter and granules into the soil with a rake, distributing them evenly throughout the soil.
Thanks to nutritious feeding, the radish harvest will be juicy, sweet, and most importantly, the root crop will be large in size.
For a good vegetable harvest, it is also important to cover the beds with black film every day from evening to morning.
In such conditions, plants will form root crops.
In addition, at the end of August and beginning of September, when the main radish harvest is harvested, you can once again sow early radishes under the film and get the last vitamin harvest in the fall.
Why sprinkle radishes with wood ash
Wood ash is a useful fertilizer for a rich radish harvest.
The thing is that such fertilizing contains a large amount of nitrogen, which is beneficial for the growth and development of plants.
When planting seeds in open ground, add a bucket of compost and a glass of wood ash or nitroammophoska to each square meter of the bed.
This is a complex fertilizer containing nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus.
This way, you will be able to achieve large root crops in your harvest.
Previously, we talked about how to make the soil more fertile.
