It is simply impossible to imagine a complete vegetable basket without tomatoes, because this component is essential for preparing salads, pizzas, sauces and other delicious dishes.
However, many, especially novice gardeners, are wary of growing this crop, considering this process to be extremely complex, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, an agronomist and landscape designer.
This position, fortunately, is wrong, because even tomatoes can be fertilized using products that are familiar to us - for example, oatmeal.
Benefits of oatmeal for tomatoes
First, let's answer the question of what advantages oatmeal fertilizer has.
It turns out that cereals contain a large number of vitamins and microelements. For example, magnesium, contained in oatmeal, can have a beneficial effect on the development and strengthening of the root system of plants. Phosphorus, in turn, is needed during the flowering of the crop, and calcium is a guarantee of strong and durable shoots.
How to Make Oatmeal Fertilizer for Tomatoes
The most effective option is to use oat milk, for the preparation of which you need to grind 3 tablespoons of oatmeal using a blender, and then pour 1 liter of water over them.
Leave the resulting mixture for 2 hours, remembering to stir it periodically, then strain the infusion and add the same amount of water to it.
Use root feeding at intervals of one day.
