Some summer residents prefer to prepare soil for seedlings themselves, mixing various ingredients - loosening agents, soil, compost.
In this case, you can be sure that the seedlings will grow strong and tall. But there are additives that not all gardeners know about.
Peat, vermicompost and other additives are certainly useful and well-known. Let's talk about how to use fish meal.
This supplement is useful at all stages of growth and development of cultivated plants.
If we talk about preparing soil for seedlings, you need to add only 2 tablespoons of this mixture per 5 liters of soil mixture.
The next time, fertilizer is applied after picking – the same 2 tablespoons.
What is fish meal
To produce this supplement, dry and defatted bones and other parts of the fish carcass are used. They are dried and ground into powder.
The flour contains phosphorus and selenium, as well as beneficial amino acids.
When added to the soil, the additive helps the above-ground part and root system develop, and at the same time contributes to the health of the soil.
It is believed that tomato seedlings respond best to the addition of fish meal.
