Tips Broccoli

Soil preparation

  • Prepare a soil rich in organic matter and well-drained.
  • The soil pH should be slightly acidic, between 6.0 and 7.0.
  • Add compost or well-decomposed manure to improve fertility.
  • The soil should be slightly sandy to allow good root growth.
  • Avoid heavy, poorly-drained soils that retain too much water.

Planting

  • Plant young seedlings after the last frost, when temperatures are warmer.
  • Space plants 30 to 40 cm apart to give them enough room to grow.
  • Plant in a sunny spot with good air circulation.
  • If sowing seeds, plant them about 1 cm deep.

Watering

  • Water regularly to keep the soil moist, but not soaked.
  • Reduce watering in winter, but make sure the soil doesn't dry out.
  • Use a drip irrigation system to avoid wetting the leaves.
  • Mulch around the plants to retain soil moisture and reduce evaporation.

Fertilizer

  • Apply a balanced fertilizer rich in nitrogen during plant growth.
  • Use a slow-release fertilizer for continuous growth.
  • Fertilize once a month during the active growing season.

Harvesting

  • Harvest broccoli heads when the buds are still closed and well-formed.
  • Cut the main head of broccoli but leave the young shoots for later harvests.
  • Do not let the broccoli flower, as it becomes bitter once it blooms.
