Not all summer residents know that for fertilizing seedlings and beds, you can use not only specially created compounds for this purpose, but also preparations that would seem completely unsuitable.

One of these remedies is the most common pharmacy aspirin.

According to agronomists who have tested the effect of the miracle drug on themselves, or rather, on their plants, treating seeds with aspirin results in the planting material not becoming moldy or rotting.

The anti-inflammatory properties of the drug are also used in the process of growing seedlings, and for adult plants it serves as a growth stimulant and strengthens their immunity.

To germinate seeds, dissolve an aspirin tablet (500 mg) in 3 liters of water and soak tomato or pepper seeds in the resulting solution.

If you decide to use aspirin for seedlings, try it on several pots first - not all seedlings like it, depending on the variety and other factors.

In this case, one tablet should be diluted in 4-5 liters of water and the plants should be watered on the 5-6th day after germination.

If you need to spray vegetables in open ground, use a solution consisting of 2 liters of water, 1 aspirin tablet and a few drops of liquid soap.
