Watering can be considered a basic care for vegetables, but not everyone knows that this procedure can be made as useful as possible.
To do this, you will simply need to enhance the quality of your water with some simple and affordable additives.
As a rule, it is best to use a barrel with a capacity of a couple of hundred liters for this purpose, advises Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, a landscape designer and agronomist.
What can be added to water when watering
Potassium permanganate
This simple tool can perform many tasks at once, so it is reasonable to use it when watering crops. Many people know potassium permanganate as an excellent preventative for various fungal diseases.
The product quickly and effectively destroys pathogens and generally has a healing effect on plantings.
It is worth using potassium permanganate in very small doses.
First, we put a small pinch in a liter of water and dilute it so that the potassium permanganate is completely dissolved. After that, the concentrate is sent to a large barrel.
Potassium humate
This method can be left until the moment when active formation of fruits begins. It is believed that potassium humate has a positive effect on the taste of crops.
First, ten drops of the product are left in hot water for 60 minutes, and then added to the barrel.
Iodine
Many summer residents are familiar with this remedy from their own experience, as it is effective and cost-effective.
Iodine can be introduced directly into the total volume of liquid.
As a rule, for preventive purposes, it is enough to administer just ten drops of the product.
