Any gardener who has tried to grow them on his own plot knows how difficult it is to please eggplants.

In order to get a decent harvest from this crop, it is worth providing it with suitable soil, appropriate care and, of course, regular fertilizing.

We will talk about the latter today.

If we talk about mineral fertilizers, then in this case everything is simple - you just need to find a composition that contains elements such as potassium, nitrogen and phosphorus.

One of them says: in order to provide the “eggplants” with the elements they need, you need to stock up on potatoes.

The potato scraps must be boiled, after which the saucepan with the valuable contents must be set aside to cool.

Use the resulting broth to water young eggplants at the roots.
