In fact, there is not much time left before the sowing campaign begins. Just a month and the windowsills of city dwellers will turn into vegetable gardens.
Others are already thinking about how to plant tomato seedlings. We will tell you how to grow tomatoes in difficult conditions and without a drop of chemicals.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told us how to feed tomatoes in these difficult times.
Without feeding, lighting and maintaining temperature conditions, nothing will work.
It is difficult to say what is the most important thing in this list. But considering that the quality of the tomato crop largely depends on fertilizers, we will tell you what harmless things you can feed future seedlings with.
Organics
City dwellers have little choice in this regard. Most often, banana peels are used, which contain the necessary potassium, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium. And this is not counting other microelements.
How to proceed
1. First, the banana peel needs to be dried and then crushed. At this stage, it can already be added to the soil.
It is said that this additive acts as a root growth stimulator.
2. Just pour water over the peel. After a few days, when the water has steeped, it can be used to water the seedlings.
The nutrient composition acts as a growth stimulant, promoting the overall development of shoots.
3. You can use the peel as mulch.
In any case, it is important to remember that it is not possible to completely replace complex fertilizers with folk remedies.
The fact is that they do not contain as many useful substances as seedlings require, and it is also quite difficult to calculate the dosage.
That is why professional fertilizers are used, which must contain nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.
Earlier we talked about when you shouldn’t feed seedlings.
