For root feeding of garden crops, milk is diluted with water in a ratio of 1:5 and poured into grooves dug around the plants.

For greater effect, you can add iodine (10 drops per 10 liters of water with milk).

To water indoor plants, dilute a teaspoon of milk in a liter of settled water.

Before watering with water and milk, flowers should be watered with regular water.
