4. Soil Preparation
When it comes to the type of soil that you need in order to grow broccoli, it is important to note that broccoli is a bit persnickety. You will want to make sure that you are planting the seeds or seedlings in soil that has a high amount of nutrients.
The soil will also need to be well-watered during the season. Before you plant your broccoli you will want to make sure that you have the soil tested and make sure that there are no key nutrients missing in the soil. You can purchase a soil testing kit to test the soil that you are planting the seeds in.
If there are nutrients missing from your soil you can add some manure to it in order to boost the nutrient content. Fertilizer can also be added to the soil to improve the nutrient supplies.
Taking the time to make sure that your soil has the proper nutrients will go along way when it comes to growing broccoli.
