How to plant radishes in the garden properly
Preparing the soil in the garden
Before you plant radishes in the garden, you need to prepare the soil in the garden properly. It is important to choose the right place to plant the radishes, making sure that the soil in the area is loose and not compacted. The fact is that radishes love this kind of soil.
In the autumn, you need to fertilize the soil where you want to sow this popular vegetable with mineral fertilizers that contain potassium, nitrogen, and phosphorus. But if you didn’t have time to do this at this time of year, add urea two weeks after the first shoots appear and a wood ash solution two weeks later.
Watering radishes in the garden
If you don’t want your radishes to grow bitter in the garden, be sure to water them properly during the growing process. But this should only be done when the top layer of soil where the radish grows is dry. It is important to keep this in mind so that you do not overwater the plants.
