You will need only 15 ml of ammonia, or a tablespoon.

Now mix the contents of the bucket thoroughly, fill the spray bottle with the solution and you can start treating the beds.

By the way, this same fertilizer can be used in beds with zucchini, pumpkins and squash.

Thanks to salicylic acid, it is possible to destroy pathogens of numerous diseases, as well as get rid of pests and stimulate growth, while ammonia in this composition acts as a source of nitrogen.
