Dill in the menu of a Russian person is one of the most familiar and popular spicy cultures. And our garden without dill is also simply impossible to imagine. How without it you can pickle cucumbers, pickle mushrooms, and any summer salad without a sprig of dill is simply unthinkable. But this spicy greens grows on our sites in different ways: someone just self-seeding, someone specially sows whole packets of seeds every year, and the result is deplorable.

To have a lot of dill, you have to work hard
Many of those who try to get a good dill crop fail. There may be several reasons for this:
- For good dill growth, the condition of the soil on which it will grow is very important. It is best if it is sandy loam or light loam. To achieve this composition of the soil can be the introduction of coarse sand or lowland peat.
- The plant has a long root, so the nutrient layer of the soil should be at least 30 cm.
- Dill does not like acidic soils. The optimum pH should be between 6 and 7.5. Acidic soil can be neutralized with finely chopped eggshells, because the presence of ash is also not to the fennel.
- He does not like dill and thickened. If the crops are too frequent, you need to thin them up to 2 cm between the plants.
- It is better to plant dill in a sunny place.
- Watering should be done only with warm water.
Yeast is used to loosen the soil and increase fertility.
- 100 g of raw baker's yeast is diluted in 1 liter of warm water.
- Insist 2 hours.
- Diluted in 10 liters of water and watered dill once every 2 weeks.

What trace elements are required dill
Sometimes the reason for the poor growth of dill is the lack of 2 important trace elements in the soil - nitrogen and phosphorus. To avoid such a problem, add to the soil before planting:
- superphosphate - 30 g / m2 ,
- potassium salt - 20 g / m2
Superphosphate nutrition will appeal to growing dill
The property of dill is known to accumulate nitrates in itself, therefore, when producing mineral fertilizing, it is necessary to observe the indicated dosage very precisely. It is not recommended to use ammonium and sodium nitrate as a top dressing.
And if you put chopped dill greens for two hours in water, the nitrate content will decrease by 20%.
How to feed dill after germination
Two weeks after germination, to stimulate growth and tillering, you can still feed the plantings with a small amount of ammonium nitrate - no more than 8 g / m2 .
The emerged shoots of young dill require top dressing, especially if the bed was not prepared in the fall
Topping dill in open ground
In order for dill greens to grow enough, it is useful to fertilize with organic fertilizers.

| Humus | half a bucket per square meter |
| Infusion of fresh mullein | ratio with water 1:10 |
| Bioud | 1:20 |
Biud is a liquid fertilizer obtained by anaerobic fermentation of horse manure under thermophilic conditions in bioreactors
For prevention against diseases, EM-drugs are used:
- "Baikal EM - 1",

Fertilizers for dill at home
Gribovsky dill is especially suitable for growing a house
If dill is grown at home, for example, on a windowsill, then every two weeks it needs to be fed with a complex mineral fertilizer. It can be Rainbow or Ideal liquid fertilizer in a very low concentration. To water the plants under the root, you must dilute 10 ml in 1 liter of water.

And some more useful tips.
Harvest of dill will please if:
- To stretch the harvest of dill in time, you need to plant several varieties at once with different ripening periods;
- Seeds can be sown in early spring and even late fall, before winter;
- Before sowing dill, do not need to bring ash into the soil. The taste of dill will suffer.
Alligator dill is especially popular among summer residents
Personally, I have no problems with dill: it grows self-sowing throughout the garden. And the variety is already impossible to determine. And in order to get young greens longer, you have to sow in the middle of June. I tried different varieties, but settled on the Alligator favorite by many varieties.
Reviews
Dill does not tolerate lime and in its presence turns red and categorically does not want to grow, but dill will not grow even in acidic soil. So there is only one way out - to plant in neutral soil (produced under the previous culture)
