It is difficult to find a summer resident who does not grow tomatoes, but not everyone knows how to get an excellent harvest.

It all starts with seedlings, which need to be given a supply of nutrition. If seedlings are properly fed, they will easily endure transplantation and bear fruit as never before.

If tomatoes have difficulty sprouting, the seedlings look puny and small, then it’s time to prepare a nutrient solution.

Ash

Fertilizer can be added both to pots and to open ground. 2 tbsp. of wood ash are diluted in 2 liters of hot water.

The liquid is infused for 24 hours, and then watered at the root.

Chicken manure

Water and chicken manure are taken in equal proportions. Insist for 3 days, and then dilute with water in a ratio of 1:10.

Before applying fertilizer, the soil is pre-moistened, otherwise there will be no benefit. In addition, the fertilizer must be applied immediately; it is better not to store it for more than 2-3 days. If you leave it for later, the fertilizer will turn into real poison for plants.
