Options for the very first application of fertilizer

As a rule, the procedure is carried out 1-1.5 weeks after the first shoots appear. In any case, it is worth noting whether the first leaves have appeared: this is a signal that nutrients can be added.

The options are as follows. You can mix 30 grams of superphosphate with other fertilizers of your choice. You can take 15 grams of ammonium nitrate or 7 grams of urea.

Instead, you can dilute fermented mullein 1 to 20 and mix it with the specified amount of superphosphate.

After the picking procedure

You need to wait from 1.5 to 2 weeks. After that, we add the nutrient composition prepared according to this recipe. In a liter of ordinary water, you need to mix half a small spoon of urea with a whole spoon of ammonium nitrate.

Ash

There is another proven way to add nutrients. To do this, dilute one and a half glasses of sifted ash with four glasses of nettle infusion in a bucket of water. You can take a dried plant.
