Every experienced gardener cares about increasing crop yields – he knows that water for irrigation needs to be slightly warmed up.
It turns out that cold soil reduces the ability of plants to absorb nutrients.
For this reason, the soil should not be cooled during watering – the water should be heated to the outside temperature.
To do this, simply fill the tank in the evening – during the day it will warm up in the sun. However, in this case, the liquid may begin to bloom.
Let's look at three ways to avoid flowering.
- The easiest way is to add a small amount of potassium permanganate crystals to the barrel.
- It is better to cover the barrel with a lid so that the water is not exposed to air and sunlight. The lid will also prevent the water from evaporating rapidly. It is better to use the water poured the day before as soon as possible.
- You can throw a few branches of aquatic plants into the water - naiad and hornwort are suitable.
