So, what does a garden crop need in July for the harvest to be abundant and of high quality? This question was answered by our magazine»s expert, agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
Proper watering
The middle of summer is often very hot.
The owner of a summer cottage is obliged to ensure that the plant does not experience a lack of moisture.
If the air temperature is very high and there is almost no precipitation, then the crop must be watered daily.
Fertilizer application
In July, pepper bushes will «respond» well to fertilizing from unburned wood residues, as well as to potash fertilizers.
Garter
In July, the peppers need to be tied up.
If this is not done, the branches will most likely break due to the abundance of fruits.
Mulching
In mid-summer, the soil in the garden bed where peppers grow should be covered with mulching material.
