I tried, fertilized it, looked after it, watered it abundantly. However, for three years I looked with envy at my neighbor&#8217;s plot, where the dill grew waist-length and was distinguished by its special splendor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watching her dill and comparing it to mine, I realized that I was missing some important detail in the growing process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And in the end, everything turned out to be much simpler than I thought. But until my neighbor shared with me the secret to successful dill growth, I could not understand what exactly I was doing wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jemchyjinka.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/scale_1200-42-500x375.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-53757\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It all starts with choosing seeds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, it really is. Why did I decide to write this article right now, before the start of the new season? So that you don\u2019t repeat my mistakes and immediately buy the right seeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My mistake was choosing the wrong variety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About 25 years ago there was not a great variety of varieties and hybrids on the market. At that time the choice was limited, and I bought what was available. Every year I chose the seeds of &#8220;Gribovsky&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a really good dill, but it is not a bushy variety, that is, it is not originally intended for abundant growth of greenery. This is a variety that blooms quickly, giving beautiful inflorescences, ideal for preservation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The seeds of &#8220;Gribovsky&#8221;, prepared for the winter, become an excellent seasoning for various dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jemchyjinka.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/scale_1200-2-10-500x375.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-53754\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, to obtain lush greenery, it is necessary to choose other varieties and hybrids designated as &#8220;bush&#8221;. These include &#8220;Alligator&#8221;, &#8220;Kibray&#8221;, &#8220;Izumrudny Puchok&#8221;, &#8220;Shashlychny&#8221; and others. It is important to pay attention to this designation in the description on the package when buying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And it continues with proper watering As it turned out, the secret lies in ordinary water. A conversation with a neighbor opened my eyes to my mistakes in watering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many people may make the same mistake. To grow lush dill, you need to water it abundantly, taking into account its shallow root system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dense and deep roots contribute to the growth of the stem, not the leaves. I have been convinced of this after conducting many experiments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to water dill correctly?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ideally, twice a day. It is necessary to water even on cloudy days when there is no rain, especially in the heat. Watering should be regular but moderate: 10 liters per 1 m\u00b2 in the morning and evening. If it is impossible to water in the morning, then the volume of water for evening watering is doubled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You cannot skip evening watering, as dill grows actively at night and requires appropriate conditions for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jemchyjinka.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/scale_1200-3-9-500x375.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-53755\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If watering is done only in the evening, then 20 liters of water should be poured for each m\u00b2 of plantings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Add 1 tablespoon of 10% ammonia water to the water every four days to protect against pests and as a light nitrogen fertilizer. Avoid using mineral fertilizers so that the greens do not accumulate nitrates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">And it ends with a special agricultural technique<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As it turned out, everything is quite simple. The final stage is a special agricultural technique that stimulates dill bushiness. This method was revealed to me by a neighbor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jemchyjinka.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/scale_1200-4-9-500x375.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-53756\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To get lush dill, you need to trim it regularly. Previously, I simply pulled out the overgrown bushes, while my neighbor trimmed them at a height of 10-15 cm. Then she watered the plants with water with ammonia water, and after a couple of weeks, the dill was actively growing again. She used this method several times during the summer, and she always had lush dill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What kind of dill do you have growing: bushy and lush or tall with beautiful inflorescences?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No matter how hard I tried, my dill stubbornly refused to reach the desired splendor and beauty, as shown in the photographs.
