Dill is an unpretentious crop suitable for beginning gardeners. It does not require complex care and tolerates minor mistakes in agricultural technology.
The main problems when growing dill: fungal diseases (powdery mildew, late blight), aphids, spider mites. For prevention, observe crop rotation (do not plant dill in one place for 2 years in a row), provide good ventilation, and water at the root. At the first signs of illness, use biological products (Fitosporin, Trichodermin).
Dill can be dried, frozen, or used to make seasonings. To dry, cut the shoots, tie them into bunches and hang them in a dark, ventilated place. To freeze, chop the greens and place in bags or ice cube trays. Dried and frozen greens retain their flavor for up to 12 months.
