July is exactly the time when cabbage stops growing only leaves and begins to form the head. Right now the plant needs support. If it is lacking, the heads may remain loose, small or even crack before harvesting.

The good news is that expensive fertilizers are not needed for this.

🌿 The best July feeding

In 10 liters of water dissolve:

• 1 liter of cow manure infusion (or 0.5 liter of chicken manure infusion); • 1 tablespoon of potassium sulfate.

Under each plant pour approximately 1–1.5 liters of such solution after ordinary watering.

Exactly potassium helps the head become dense, and the organic fertilizer provides the plant with nutrients for active growth.

🌱 If you do not use organics

You can prepare another option:

• 20–25 g of potassium sulfate; • 15–20 g of superphosphate; • 10 liters of water.

Such feeding is quite enough once every 10–14 days.

💧 Do not forget about water

Even the best fertilizer will not give a result if the soil dries out. Cabbage loves even moisture. Water abundantly, but not every day. Better less often, but so that the water thoroughly soaks the ground to the roots.

🌾 A little secret of gardeners

After watering or feeding mulch the soil with mown grass, straw or dried weeds without seeds. Mulch retains moisture longer, does not allow the roots to overheat and gradually improves the soil structure.

By the end of summer such cabbage usually rewards with firm, heavy and juicy heads that store well after harvesting.
