Kefir top dressing for tomato and pepper seedlings: gardeners were told how to make it
Application of liquid fertilizers under the root and on the leaves is an effective method for improving plant nutrition.
One of the effective fertilizers for seedlings of nightshade vegetables - peppers and tomatoes - is kefir.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, spoke about the benefits of kefir for plants.
It can be quickly prepared at home. Kefir contains calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, a complex of microelements and vitamins.
In addition, fermented milk drinks contain lactic acid bacteria, which have a beneficial effect on the development of beneficial microflora in the soil coma. After watering seedlings with a kefir solution, the ability of the roots to absorb nutrients from the substrate is significantly improved.
To prepare liquid fertilizer, you will only need settled water at room temperature and kefir of any fat content.
Natural yogurt without additives will also work. You can also use whey left over from making cottage cheese at home.
For 900 ml of water, take 100 ml of fermented milk drink. The resulting solution is watered every 10 days under the root of tomato and pepper seedlings.
In addition to root feeding, foliar feeding is also recommended. The solution is poured into a sprayer with a fine-dispersed nozzle and the seedling bushes are sprayed in the morning or evening.
According to reviews from successful gardeners, regular fertilizing of tomato and pepper seedlings with kefir helps to form a branched root system, thick stems and healthy vegetative mass.
May your vegetable seedlings of tomatoes and peppers grow strong on your windowsill!
