Why and what problems can arise when growing spicy herbs and for salad
Despite the fact that greens are grown on each site, there may still be some problems in growing. Most often they arise from improper cultivation.
Problems in growing lettuce
This plant is easy to cultivate, but problems can still arise:
· Lettuce, like cabbage plants, is very often damaged by caterpillars. Therefore, it is necessary to check the planting, as well as carry out prevention. To do this, sprinkle the plantings with wood ash.
· The second problem is aphids. It's a little more complicated here, but you can also fight it. The same ash helps against it, as well as a solution of ammonia (for 5 liters of water, you need to take 100 grams of alcohol).
· Leaf decay is a common problem in the garden beds, especially in the "head of cabbage" varieties of lettuce. To avoid this problem, you need to thin out the crops, as well as harvest in time, starting from the lower leaves.
The challenges of growing spicy greens
Dill, celery, rucola, parsley often darken at the very beginning of their growth, as well as throughout the growing season. This may be due to lack of moisture or lack of sunlight.
To get a good harvest of greens throughout the summer, you need to weed regularly, water and thin out crops, as well as monitor the appearance of pests and take measures to elimination.
