Find a sunny spot in the garden to grow.
Secrets of growing eggplants
One of the most important rules for growing eggplant is getting enough sunlight.
Grow the vegetable in a location where it will receive at least 6 hours of sunlight per day.
It is also important to make sure that other plants will not be blocked from receiving sunlight.
For example, large trees, shrubs, sunflowers, beans.
These crops can shade eggplants.
Experienced gardeners also recommend alternating crops. This will help prevent late blight and other diseases in eggplant.
What soil is needed to grow eggplants
Eggplants need nutrient-dense soil to ripen and produce a viable harvest.
Therefore, it is necessary to add compost or rotted manure before planting the vegetable.
This fertilizer will also help retain moisture in the roots.
You can grow eggplants either from seeds or through seedlings.
The second method is suitable for those who have a cooler climate.
