August is the last month of summer, but it is too early for summer residents to relax. There is still much to do during this period.
For example, feed carrots to get a harvest of large, tasty and aromatic fruits, which will become the basis or addition to many culinary masterpieces.
The last month of summer is the period when the quality of the carrot harvest can still be influenced. For this, summer residents use boric acid.
Fertilizer for carrots
One of the latest summer fertilizers for carrots is based on boric acid.
In a liter of warm water, you need to dissolve 1 teaspoon of the product, and then bring the total volume of water to 10 liters. Then it remains to spray the plants generously.
In addition, wood ash will be useful in August. It is scattered over the garden bed (1 glass per "square" of plantings), then dug into the soil and watered.
Helpful advice
The timing of fertilization may vary. For example, if a late-ripening variety of carrot is grown, the harvest is dug up in September.
Therefore, the last feeding can be done in the second or even third ten days of August. The optimal time is considered to be 3-4 weeks before harvesting.
