Many people may be surprised by the recommendation to sprinkle oatmeal on cucumbers and tomatoes: it seems incredibly strange.

One might get the impression that this would be a futile exercise at best.

However, with the help of this simple trick, you can increase your yields several times over.

What is the benefit of oatmeal

The product itself, of course, does not bring any benefit to vegetables and their development. But we do not care about them, but about earthworms.

Thanks to oatmeal, they will "settle" in your garden bed, making the soil incredibly fertile and high-quality. This is exactly the kind of soil that tomatoes and cucumbers need.

How to use the product correctly at the dacha?

The advantage of this method is that the product can be used even after its expiration date: it does not matter. Then we put the flakes in a blender bowl and make them smaller.

The result should be a special nutritional powder.

All that remains is to simply sprinkle the beds with the resulting product. One handful is enough for a square meter of plantings.
