Exactly now the plant spends a lot of strength on their setting, so without additional nutrition the harvest may turn out significantly more modest than you expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is a simple solution that many gardeners use exactly during this period. It provides the cabbage with the necessary nutrients and helps the plant direct strength to the formation of large heads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What to feed the cabbage with<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For preparing the solution you will need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1 liter of wood ash infusion;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 tablespoon of potassium sulfate;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>10 liters of water.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to make the ash infusion:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For 1 liter of warm water take approximately 200 g of sifted wood ash. Mix well and leave to infuse for 12\u201324 hours. After that strain and use for preparing the feeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Into a bucket of water pour a liter of ready infusion, add potassium sulfate and mix well until completely dissolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to use correctly<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before feeding be sure to water the bed with ordinary water. Moist soil will help the roots better absorb the nutrients and protect them from damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under each adult plant pour approximately 1\u20131.5 liters of ready solution, trying not to get on the leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is enough to carry out such a procedure 1\u20132 times with an interval of about two weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why this solution works<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wood ash contains potassium, calcium, phosphorus and a whole complex of microelements. Potassium is responsible for the density of future heads, improves taste qualities and helps the plant more easily tolerate heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Potassium sulfate enhances this effect, does not contain chlorine, so it is excellent exactly for cabbage. As a result the heads grow faster, become heavier and store better after harvesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What else is worth remembering<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even the best feeding will not give the desired result without regular watering. On hot days cabbage needs a lot of moisture, because exactly water helps the plant accumulate mass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also periodically loosen the soil after watering and remove weeds. This improves air access to the roots and allows the cabbage to maximally use all the nutrients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By following these simple recommendations, already at the end of the season you will be able to collect large, dense and juicy heads that will pleasantly surprise with their sizes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If in July the cabbage has already grown large leaves, this does not yet mean that it will form large and dense heads.
