A barrel of water will no longer “bloom” or “turn green”: add a secret ingredient to the water for irrigation
Almost every summer resident has encountered a situation when the water in barrels began to turn green.
But if you know one simple way, the water can remain healthier and more nutritious for plants.
For successful irrigation, quality water is essential, while “green” or “blooming” liquid can even cause harm.
The easiest way is to close the barrel with a lid. In this case, the water will not be affected by sunlight, which causes active algae growth.
The second method is to use potassium permanganate. Add a little each time you fill the barrel with water. This substance prevents the appearance of algae and does not allow the formation of green plaque.
These simple methods will help prevent blooms and make the water more suitable for irrigation.
Water quality directly affects crop yields and conditions, which is why it is necessary to prevent flowering processes.
