CABBAGE FARMING
Tips on Growing Cabbage
1. Plant cabbage at the right time
An important thing to remember is cabbage likes cool temperatures. Cabbage will not form a head but split or bolt if exposed to too much heat or severe frost.
2. Try growing different types of cabbage
If warm temperatures may make growing traditional-headed cabbage difficult try Oriental and Savoy cabbage varieties. These types are often more consistent producers when grown in warm climates
3. Grow cabbage in the best location
Cabbage prefers well-draining rich soil. Amend the soil with compost and nitrogen-rich blood meal or cottonseed meal before planting to encourage leafy growth.
