Tomatoes are a popular crop. And there is nothing surprising about this: the fruits are rich in vitamins, tasty and healthy.

To avoid being left without a harvest this year, you need to take care of the seedlings.

The sprouts will not stretch out, wither and get sick if they are properly fed. Natural fertilizers, which are easy to prepare at home, will help with this.

Potato broth

The seedlings will develop well when potato broth is added.

Wash the potatoes, cover with water and put on the gas. You can boil only the peelings, but everything in the house will be saturated with an unpleasant smell. No spices or salt should be added to the pan.

After 20-25 minutes, drain the liquid and let it cool. Dilute the thick decoction with water 1:1 and add 1 drop of iodine from the first aid kit.

Water plants as needed 2-3 times a month.

Onion peel

One of the useful and nutritious means for seedlings, which will protect plants from diseases and pests.

Pour 2 cups of water over a glass of husk, bring to a boil and let stand for 2 days. Strain the infusion and add 10 cups of water. Water the seedlings once every 7 days.
