In most cases, a person will enjoy eating peas that they have grown themselves.

However, if the peas turn out to be too small and not very tasty, then the summer resident and his family are unlikely to be happy.

To avoid finding yourself in a similar situation, you need to have time to feed the garden crop in a certain way before the end of the first summer month.

As a result, the peas will become larger, juicier and sweeter.

Ideal fertilizer for peas

In June, the plant practically does not need nitrogen. But the legume crop will accept the potassium component without any problems.

The same applies to such an important microelement as magnesium.

It is possible to ensure that both components enter the soil by adding unburned wood residues.

It will only be possible to use this fertilizer in dry form if the procedure is carried out simultaneously with planting peas.

If the crop is already growing, then you will have to use an infusion of ash.

The product is very easy to prepare: you just need to pour high-temperature water over the remains of burnt wood. There should be two volumes of liquid per one volume of ash.

After 48 hours, the infusion must be passed through a filter surface, and then used to water the soil in which the legume crop is growing.
