How to feed tomato seedlings so that the stem grows thick: not all summer residents know

If you ignore the necessary fertilizing, then it is unlikely that you will be able to grow decent tomato seedlings, since the vegetable needs a lot of nutrients at the early stage of its development.

If you apply fertilizers in a timely manner, you can grow excellent tomato seedlings with thick stems.

What supplements are worth knowing about?

Banana peel infusion

This method is very effective and quite popular, as it gives excellent results. Thanks to the prepared infusion, tomatoes grow strong and well-developed.

You will need to take the peel left over from two fruits and put it in a three-liter jar with water. Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, suggests waiting 72 hours. Only after that, the concentrate is filtered and diluted with the same amount of clean water.

It is recommended to carry out the procedure only when the seedlings are one and a half months old.

Shell

If you want your tomatoes to have thick stems, you should prepare a valuable nutritional composition. To do this, you will have to grind the shells of four medium-sized eggs into flour.

Afterwards, the component is "brewed" with a liter of hot water. You need to wait at least four days and only then dilute the concentrate in a bucket of water.

This fertilizer should be used immediately after preparation.
