Not only peppers and tomatoes are grown using the seedling method. In addition to heat-loving representatives of the nightshade family, cabbage seedlings are sprouting on windowsills.

To grow a truly luxurious harvest, you need to try not to miss two important stages of feeding this crop.

Experienced gardeners shared a fertilizer application scheme.

First feeding

It is almost impossible to miss this moment. Fertilizers are applied after the seedlings have released their first three full leaves.

Complex mineral fertilizers are used as top dressing.

Summer residents usually use an aqueous solution of nitrophoska.

It is prepared by dissolving half a teaspoon of fertilizer in one liter of water. The preparations "Krepysh" and "Agricola", as well as "Fertika Universal-2" have proven themselves well in this regard.

Second feeding

Here you need to be more careful, because the second portion of fertilizer is applied before transplanting the seedlings into the soil.

This must be done no later than one week before planting.

This time, the solution is prepared by dissolving 1 teaspoon of urea and the same amount of potassium sulfate in 5 liters of water.
