Why water cucumbers and tomatoes with milk: an interesting summer cottage trick
13.07.2023 06:20
Some experienced gardeners water the cucumbers and tomatoes they grow in their summer cottages with milk.
This method should be adopted by all other summer residents.
The fact is that this type of plant treatment gives two positive results at once.
We are talking about the supply of important microelements, as well as the protection of crops from pests and diseases.
How to prepare liquid
Using undiluted milk without additives is unlikely to give any results.
A liter of white drink (the lower the fat content, the better) should be diluted with 10 liters of clean water, to which 20 drops of iodine have been previously added.
The prepared solution should be poured onto the cucumbers and tomatoes at the root. It is desirable that each bush receives approximately 500 milliliters of the mixture.
The emphasis can be placed not on watering, but on another method of treating plants - spraying. In other words, the milk solution should be poured into a container with a sprayer, and then sprayed on the bushes.
Effect of the procedure
Firstly, many important microelements will enter the soil, including potassium, nitrogen, phosphorus and calcium.
Secondly, when drops of the product fall on the leaf blades of the plant, they will acquire protection from many dangerous insects.
In addition, garden crops will become less vulnerable to various diseases.
