Why gardeners massively stop planting cabbage

Recently, even experienced gardeners have complained that cabbage It becomes a bad idea. This has been the case for the last couple of years. And going to the store for cabbage is a simpler and more rational event than growing cabbage on your own plot. After all, your harvest is not happy at all.

And today's edition. "Site" I ask you to think why this happens, that even avid summer residents say goodbye to homemade cabbage. Is it really a massive problem, or is it a bit exaggerated? Let's try to figure it out together.



Growing cabbage in the open ground “The other day I specially went to the supermarket to look at cabbage.” There is a flat, beautiful, albeit small coaches. And 38 rubles a kilo. I could not detect any signs of pests, which is quite strange, Anastasia writes.



“My problem with cabbage started the year before last. Within a few days, the leaves were amicably covered with yellow spots, and the cabbage began to deteriorate directly to the root. Moreover, the problem was not only for me, but also for neighbors, as well as for familiar gardeners, who have been growing cabbage for decades.



We had all sorts of guesses. I thought it was because of the frequent rain. But last spring, I went to the market and noticed the seedlings. She was so frail, full of yellow spots. And the traces of those cruciferous fleas were also visible.

What is it? Couldn't all the gardeners have forgotten how to grow cabbage at once? We did not have a good harvest last autumn. A lot of people even refused to give up. And the leaves are quite normal in size, large even, and with the head of the head is a disaster.



In the same year there was no salvation from caterpillars with snails. Of course, we can blame it on the abnormal heat, because the weather and me and the neighbors, of course, was equally unbearable. But even by the number of people I managed to interview, it becomes clear that the problem with cabbage is not only in our Tver region, the woman laments.



Indeed, many have written about the deplorable state of seedlings, the ubiquitous caterpillars and a poor harvest of cabbage. However, even in this case, gardeners are ready to grow cabbage for their families. Because they do not trust the product that flaunts on supermarket shelves.

As a result, caterpillars with butterflies try to escape in all possible ways. For example, grow cabbage under cover. And with slugs fight with the help of ordinary ash - simply scatter it under the heads.



This allows you to do without spraying cabbage, which can no longer but please. And even if in some regions it still has to be fed with fertilizers, but this is already in order. Therefore, such cabbage can be safely served to the table, cook your favorite family dishes and harvest sauerkraut in large quantities.
