2-3 weeks before sowing for each square meter of the beds, add 3-4 kg of compost or rotted manure, 100-200 g of wood ash, dig the soil to the bayonet of the shovel and level the surface with a rake. Instead of organic, you can use a complex of mineral fertilizers: 1 tablespoon of superphosphate, urea and potassium sulfate per 1 m².
How to prepare dill seeds for sowing

How to care for dill
Greens grow without much trouble and does not require top dressing.
Water dill
Do this as the top layer of the soil dries, because Dill does not like excess moisture. Water the greens on the rows early in the morning or evening at sunset. In the heat, you can use the “sprinkling” method – abundantly spray the bushes with water. So the humidity increases, and dust is washed off from the leaves of the plant. This allows them to breathe better.

Dill loves lungs, air soils, so one or two times a week after watering, loosening the soil in the aisles with a grip with small teeth. So the roots will receive more oxygen. Try to regularly remove weeds so that they do not take the nutrients from the soil and do not shade dill.
When and how to harvest dill
Greens can be eaten at all stages of growth. But when dill begins to tie buds, it becomes the most aromatic. This usually happens after about 45 days from the moment of germination.
It is easy to remove the crop: cut the greens or just pull out the plants with the root. If you need “umbrellas” for conservation, you will have to wait a little more – dill seeds ripen for about 70 days.
