A good option would be to use the beds where legumes or nightshade crops used to grow.
The site should be well lit, dill grows much worse in shaded places.

How to grow bunched dill Vladyka
Standard care is required for the Vladyka variety: at least once a week, the beds must be watered, the soil loosened and the weeds that have appeared should be removed.

Prevention of this disease is the treatment of plantings with a solution of potassium permanganate twice a month. When symptoms appear, dill is recommended to be sprayed with a solution of mustard powder or kefir diluted in a ratio of 1:10.
Another nuisance is fusarium. Plants affected by it quickly begin to turn yellow and wither. As a preventive measure, it is necessary to disinfect the seeds before planting and periodically water the beds with a weak solution of potassium permanganate. Diseased plants should be immediately uprooted and burned.
Sometimes dill bushes are affected by phomosis, which appears as brown spots. For prevention, before planting, the site is treated with a solution of fundalose. The disease is practically not amenable to treatment, so the affected plants must be destroyed.
Among insects, the most dangerous are aphids and dill moths. When these pests appear, it is necessary to treat the plantings with the help of special insecticides.
