Any plants, as is known, need nutrients, which are supplied to them with fertilizers.

At the same time, one can come across the opinion that seedlings should not be fertilized - they should have enough nutrition in the soil.

In reality, this is not entirely true: it is not possible to enrich the soil mixture so that there are enough useful elements for the entire growing season, so the introduction of fertilizers is inevitable.

In this regard, experienced gardeners prefer not to worry about the nutritional value of the soil that they plan to use for future seedlings.

Instead, summer residents add diluted mineral or organomineral fertilizers to each watering.

The easiest way is to go to a specialized store that sells everything for the garden and vegetable garden, and buy ready-made liquid fertilizer there.

Please note: the drug should not be diluted in accordance with the instructions on the packaging.

Instead, make it 50% less concentrated so that you can safely use the product on young plants.
