Growing Tips

• Dill prefers well-drained, fertile soil with plenty of organic matter.
• Plant seeds directly in the garden after the last frost date or start indoors 4-6 weeks before transplanting.
• Provide consistent moisture and full sun for best growth.
• Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
• Pinch off flower buds to encourage bushier growth and more leaves.
• Regularly check for pests like aphids and whiteflies.
• Harvest leaves regularly to promote new growth and prevent the plant from becoming leggy.

Example for Small Garden

In a small garden, you can plant Dill alongside its companion plants like asparagus and broccoli. Consider using containers or raised beds to maximize space and manage soil quality. Arrange the plants in a triangular layout to optimize light exposure and air circulation.

Example for Medium Garden

For a medium garden, create dedicated sections for Dill and their companion plants. Plant Dill in rows, with asparagus and broccoli as border plants to provide structural support and deter pests. Incorporate other beneficial plants like cabbage and Brussels sprouts to attract pollinators and enhance biodiversity.

Example for Large Garden

In a large garden, interplant Dill with a variety of companions to create a diverse ecosystem. Use a grid layout where Dill is planted alongside asparagus, broccoli, and cabbage. This arrangement helps in pest management and improves overall soil health. Consider rotating crops annually to prevent soil depletion and reduce pest buildup.

Example for Long Garden

A long garden layout allows for row planting, where you can alternate rows of Dill with rows of its companion plants for optimal growth. Plant Dill in one row, followed by rows of asparagus, broccoli, and cabbage. This method ensures each plant gets adequate space and resources while promoting beneficial interactions between plants.
