After the first shoots of future vegetable seedlings appear in flowerpots, boxes and cups, summer residents breathe a sigh of relief and begin to think about fertilizing.
It's good if you have a supply of fertilizers in your pantry. And if you've run out and can't wait to fertilize, you can use spices.
Summer residents say that turmeric has similar properties. Here's how you can use it in an improvised garden.
For example, ground turmeric can be added to the soil simply in dry form, but it is better to do this before sowing.
When the shoots appear, prepare a solution.
Recipe 1
For 1 liter of warm settled water, take 2 teaspoons of ground turmeric, mix and add 10 ml of milk. The solution is recommended for tomato and cucumber seedlings. It can be added for two weeks.
Recipe 2
With the help of turmeric, you can improve the health of the soil, especially if there is a risk of over-watering of the soil, when excess moisture can only cause harm.
In this case, turmeric is added in dry form in an even layer between the shoots on the ground. The spice will help to avoid the appearance of insect pests, and at the same time will serve as a fertilizer.
