Sweet peppers, like tomatoes and eggplants, are especially popular with summer residents. Gardeners try to do everything to collect a rich harvest of this vegetable.
Unfortunately, there are problems. However, everything can be solved if you feed the seedlings in time. Here is what the professionals advise.
To ensure that the pepper fruits grow large, fleshy and juicy, it is recommended to add one additive when transplanting the seedlings into the hole.
What does the harvest depend on?
Much depends on how quickly the plant takes root in a new place. Considering that the root system of this crop is vulnerable, picking is excluded immediately.
But even if the seedlings grew in separate cups, they can still be harmed when transplanted.
What to do
In order to protect seedlings from problems, you need to use fertilizers. But you need to remember that unnecessary additives are also harmful to the root system, as they can cause burns.
To avoid this, the fertilizer is sprinkled with a layer of soil and only then the plants are planted.
What to add to the holes
There are no universal remedies, as much depends on the composition of the soil. Summer residents cite as an example a mixture of bone meal with wood ash, or fish or bone meal separately, which will provide plants with phosphorus.
To avoid a potassium deficiency, wood ash is added, and the best is considered to be that left over from sunflowers.
How to prepare the mixture
For 2 cups of bone meal you will need 3 tbsp. of wood ash. The ingredients are mixed and the mixture is added to the hole in the amount of 3 tbsp. per hole, and then it is necessary to sprinkle with soil.
