Cabbage - vegetable demanding, especially to light, heat and moisture.If it's something I do not dopoluchit, then a good harvest can be forgotten until next year.If we talk about light day, for the growth of cabbage it should be 16-18 hours.For this reason, the cabbage should be planted in open areas that do not shade trees and chalet construction.Itself vegetable frost, but still during their growth it needs to maintain a moderate temperature, about 18-200S.Lower and higher temperatures affect the growth is not the best way.Demanding cabbage and moisture.Its shortage leads to the fact that the plant begins to grow slowly, delayed period kochanoobrazovaniya.That is why it is important to ensure that the ground was always wet.Ideally, watering the cabbage should be carried out every 10 days.
Growing sprouts can be arranged in two ways: either originally planted seedlings or sow seeds in open ground.
Growing seedlings of cabbage
Usually, the seedlings of cabbage grown in heated greenhouses or indoors, followed by planting in open ground.For planting the seeds need to prepare the ground: for it is mixed rotted manure and vegetable land in the ratio of 1: 1.Sow seeds at a distance of 1 cm from each other, the aisle - 7-8 cm When the seedlings appear, first held fertilizing seedlings.In open ground the seedlings are planted in the event that her age will reach about 40-45 days.Suitable time for this - the beginning of May.
Earth by replanting seedlings in open ground prepare since autumn.To do this, dig the selected area, fed with organic and mineral fertilizers.At the request of the spring can be made a few days before planting rotted manure.
landing made as follows: a shovel dug wells for 1 liter, pour water in them, dipped in each one sapling and carefully covered with earth.Earth is pressed, leaving a small hole around the seedling, which in the future will be watering and fertilizing.Next, you need to follow the growth of cabbage.If some sprouts seedlings do not like, in their place, you need to plant new ones.Transplant seedlings are also subjected to painful.
Further care includes irrigation (better in the evening) as required and feeding.The first top dressing liquid fertilizer is carried out when the cabbage leaves begin to grow actively.Flow rate - 0.5 liters of liquid mullein (1:10) per plant.A second feeding is carried out during the cabbage head, and the third - about a month before harvest.

Growing cabbage in the open ground
often carried out without the cultivation of cabbage seedlings planting.Seeds are sown in a prepared ground on 2-3 seed in the hole.Then, when the shoots appear, do thinning, leaving only the strongest shoot.Aftercare for the cabbage is no different from the method of growing seedlings.It is important to conduct a timely foliar application and ensure that the sprouts are not needed in the moisture.
It should be noted that the cultivation of cabbage in the Urals, for example, in the southern regions of Russia, of course, will be somewhat different.Natural conditions can not always please the summer resident, so some human efforts to collect the crop will fail.To cultivation of cabbage it was not meaningless affair, it is important to skillfully choose the most suitable grade.
