Useful advice on preparing a plot for cabbage, on applying the necessary fertilizers. Scheme and timing of planting of late and early varieties. About care, watering rates, about the quality of dressings and their frequency
Site preparation
Cabbage loves the sun and is demanding on the fertility of the land, so be sure to make a garden bed in an open area with good soil. The place should be level, if the relief does not allow, then you can use the southeastern and southern slopes.
Favorable conditions are considered the previous planting of cereals, legumes, onions, cucumbers, potatoes and any root crops. In such places, cabbage can be cultivated for three years. After this period, a four-year break is taken. The structure of the soil is of great importance; cabbage prefers loam with high proportions of humus / organic matter. It develops well in neutral and slightly acidic areas with high water-holding capacity.
It is advisable to prepare the land in the fall: per sq. meter add dolomite flour or fluff lime 2 cups, with digging for the entire shovel bayonet. Before planting, in the spring, add peat-manure compost or rotted manure - a bucket per sq. m. Necessarily minerals: superphosphate or nitrophoska (2 tbsp. l.), as well as urea (teaspoon), 1-2 glasses of sifted ash. Spring digging shallow - half bayonet.
You can save on fertilizers and apply only to the holes, especially the early varieties like it. To the hole: 1 tsp. superphosphate / nitrophosphate; 0.5 humus; 1-2 tbsp. l. ash. After adding the necessary substances, thorough watering is done.
Planting cabbage seedlings
Cloudy days are considered a favorable time for a planting event. If the weather is hot, it is preferable to work in the evening hours. Estimated terms for early cabbage April 25 - May 5. The scheme for the holes: row spacing 45-50 cm, the spacing between plants is 25. It is necessary to plant with a deepening to a real leaf. Late varieties are planted in open ground on May 10-30. The scheme is slightly larger: make the rows every 55-60 cm, holes - 30-35.
Daily watering provides quick survival. In the first week, spraying is additionally carried out with abundant wetting of the leaves three times a day. It is necessary to shade from the sun for 3 days to avoid burns.
Cabbage care
Three weeks later, the first hilling is carried out. Subsequent procedures are carried out systematically with an interval of 8-10 days. The development of plants strongly depends on the quality of moisture. After rooting the seedlings, from the second week they water less often at intervals of 2-3 days: per sq. meter 6-8 liters. After the appearance of new leaves (3-4 weeks), watering is done less often. Enough once a week, but abundantly: 12-15 liters in two or three doses evenly per 1 m2. Strive for the water to remain in the garden and be completely absorbed.
During the formation of forked ovaries, cabbage is watered twice a day. The early one should be stimulated by the flow of abundant moisture in June, and the late one in August. During these periods, it is watered in the morning and in the evening, and with normally heated water, it is not recommended to use it below +18. It is important to keep the soil in a loose state at this time, otherwise moisture will not be absorbed well. Loosening is done every 6-7 days with a depth of 6-8 cm.
How to feed cabbage
During the growing season, feeding is done 3-4 times. The first is carried out 20 days later: half a liter of liquid mullein is taken for a 10-liter container, a small dipper is used for each root (0.5 l).
After 10 days, the second is carried out. For the same volume of water you need 0.5 liquid mullein / chicken manure, 1 tbsp. l. urea. It is applied in a liter per plant. The third is held in June and August, but only for late species. Has the same proportions of mullein / chicken droppings as the previous ones. Then superphosphate is added to this composition (1 tbsp.l.) and a tablet of microelements. Per sq. meter is consumed 6-8 liters.
Additionally, wood ash is used as top dressing and prophylaxis against slugs, aphids, and snails. Leaves are powdered with ash powder. It is advisable to do this weekly, after morning watering, while the leaves have not yet lost moisture. Competent dusting means processing the sheet with ash on both sides, especially the underside.
