For more than a month now, gardeners have been living in a tense environment, with their attention focused on the condition of their seedlings.
If you miss a few important details, you may end up with a less than plentiful vegetable harvest at the end of the season. For example, the seedlings may stretch out and become thin.
Let's figure out how to fix tomato seedlings if the stems are skinny.
You can buy plant care products at a gardening store, or you can prepare a homemade solution for fertilizing.
As experienced gardeners say, a cinnamon-based remedy can help out here.
The seedlings will grow strong and stocky. Another composition is prepared on the basis of potato peelings, which will also serve as a means of preventing the development of diseases.
Remedy #1: Cinnamon
To prepare, you will need one teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
It needs to be dissolved in one liter of warm water, left to brew for 2 days, then strain the infusion and use for spraying on the leaves.
The interval between feedings is once a week.
Remedy #2: Potato peelings
Take the peel from 3-5 medium tubers and pour 2 liters of water over them. Then put on the fire and cook for 15-20 minutes.
Then strain the broth, let it cool and use it for watering at the root. The interval between feedings is once every 1.5-2 weeks.
