Want strong, squat tomato and pepper seedlings? Add this flour to the soil mixture when planting
Experienced gardeners recommend using dolomite flour when planting these crops.
The product contains calcium oxide, zinc, phosphorus, iron, manganese and other useful elements.
Fertilizer improves soil fertility and reduces the number of diseases and pests in the beds.
In addition, dolomite flour has a positive effect on plant immunity.
But it should be taken into account that such fertilizing is not suitable for every soil. The product will work best in a soil mixture with peat. Before applying, you still need to measure the acidity of the soil.
It is important to remember that tomatoes prefer soil with a pH of 5.5-6.5, while peppers will grow better in soil with an acidity of 6-6.8 pH.
If the indicators are lower, then dolomite flour should be added.
But don't overdo it. One teaspoon per kilogram of soil is enough to start with.
If this is not enough, you can make a mixture of flour and water, and then water the growing seedlings.
