May: how to fertilize for planting sevka

Now there may be 2 options: you have not yet formed a bed for planting onion sets, or it is already ready. In the first case, simply dig up the soil with "tasty" fertilizers. In the second, stick them into the ground with a hoe or a hoe. At the same time, check again if there are any roots of annoying weeds and loosen the soil - and the onion sets are oh, how they love!

On my own I would advise you to make a bed in advance. So that the earth settles and you correct the defects in time.

What fertilizers to embed in the soil for good growth of onion sets

The first point that I advise not to overlook the owners of vegetable gardens with sour soil is

liming. Sevok does not really like "acid": grow up - it will grow, but slower and not as willingly as on neutral. Harvest, you know... the maximum will not be.

So take on board vegetable ash. She is my favorite, because it also becomes a good top dressing. Dolomite flour and lime will do the job well, too. But I still give preference to the ash left after burning firewood every year.

Second point - her majesty organic. I ask one thing: no manure. With its introduction, there is such a fine line that you can stay with small onions instead of a full-fledged turnip.

Better to take compost or humus. These two comrades will provide enough organic nutrition to the seed and will definitely not inhibit growth.

The third point is called "We got to mineral water". I do not know why, but some people are afraid to use "chemical granules" on their site. But at the same time, they do not answer the question of where the plants get enough minerals... Moreover, until it comes to collecting "turnip", there will be no trace of chemical chemistry and nitrates.

Therefore, feel free to sprinkle "Nitroammofoska" or "Azofoska" on the garden bed. I personally like the first option - it's versatile, easy to use and doesn't misfire. Well, in any case, so it seems to Me) A bag of "Nitroammofoski" is always at hand at the dacha.

Additional solution - to your health!

Have you ever faced a problem onion fly? I am, and this is very unpleasant. Three years ago I read in a magazine a valuable recipe for prophylaxis during planting - a solution of common salt: 1 glass (I take an incomplete one) per 10 liter bucket of water.

1-2 days before planting the sevka, it is necessary to shed the garden well with plain water, and then with saline solution. Dissolved salt eliminates onion fly larvae, and at the first stage of seed growth, one problem will be solved ✅
