As spring approaches, gardeners begin to think about what fertilizers seedlings and crops need.
You can buy specialized additives, or you can cook from what's lying around in the kitchen. They say it turns out just as good.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told us what can be used to make an effective fertilizer for seedlings.
For tomatoes and peppers
These crops, in addition to the standard phosphorus, calcium and nitrogen, also need magnesium. Summer residents have adapted to feeding with magnesium sulfate, which is obtained in a pharmacy.
It is enough to add 2-3 tablespoons per 10 liters of water and you can water the garden. Among ornamental crops, roses love magnesium sulfate.
Universal fertilizer
Summer residents say that beer contains nitrogen and potassium, which promotes the development and strengthening of plant immunity.
You can water almost everything in a row with beer, both in the garden and in the garden. But whether this has been proven by science is unknown.
It is only known that first you need to leave an open bottle of beer for 12 hours.
One root requires 100 ml of the product. Top dressing is carried out after preliminary watering.
Dry milk
Eggshells are the main source of calcium, but dry milk is no worse in this regard.
To prepare the fertilizer, dissolve half a glass of dry milk in a bucket of water or pour a quarter glass of powder under each plant.
This method is said to protect tomatoes from blossom-end rot.
