To ensure that carrots are juicy, tasty, and healthy, it is necessary to fertilize them.
Folk Recipes
Tasty carrots were grown even before the advent of mineral fertilizers. Here are some methods that gardeners still actively use:
* Bird droppings. This is an excellent fertilizer in the early stages of growth. It is rich in beneficial substances and is successfully used in the garden. The droppings are diluted with water in a ratio of 1/10 (where 10 is water), infused for a day, and then diluted again in the same ratio. The prepared mixture can be used to fertilize the soil between the rows.
* Weed infusion. Weeds are known for their high nitrogen and potassium content. You should start preparing the infusion 3 weeks before use. The leaves of the weeds are placed in a container and poured with hot water up to 3/4 full. The open container is left in the sun until it stops foaming (2-3 weeks). The contents should be stirred periodically. Wormwood may emit an unpleasant odor, but it can be easily neutralized with valerian infusion, which can be added to the container. When the infusion is ready, it is diluted with water in a ratio of 1/10 (where 10 is water) and sprayed on the seedlings.
* Ash. The high sodium, potassium, and magnesium content in ash nourishes the root vegetable well and protects it from pests. Ash can be used in two ways:
1. Loosen the soil and sprinkle 250 g of ash per 1 sq. m., then water it.
2. Dissolve ash in water (100 g of ash per 10 l of water), let it steep until the next day. Carefully water the seedlings at the root, avoiding contact with the leaves.
Watering and spraying should only be done in cool, windless weather. If the summer is hot and dry, it is better to carry out the "water procedures" early in the morning or in the evening at sunset. This will help avoid stress for the plant and many diseases.
