Therefore, after seedling cultivation in open field, a small arch shed can be added to protect against cold. Sowing before February can also be avoided as far as possible. Of course, there are some very warm areas where there is no need to worry. The growth time of spring cabbage is very short, so it can be planted properly. Generally speaking, the line spacing is about 25 cm. After the rain, you can gently turn the topsoil to breathe for the root system.

Do not water too much, causing rot or green worms. Fertilization other than base fertilizer is carried out in each growth period. Manure and urea nitrogen fertilizer were applied at rosette stage. Some quick-acting chemical fertilizers can be applied before and after the pericardium period, and compound fertilizer can be combined with a small amount of potash fertilizer. Promote pericardium, and root growth.
