Eggplant is considered "gluttonous", so when growing it, fertilizing is important.
Even when planting seedlings in the hole, additional agents should be added so that the plants develop normally and bear fruit well in the future.
First of all, you need to add compost or humus.
It will be enough to take just two handfuls to provide the soil with nutrients and improve its structure.
You should also add a couple of handfuls of river sand to the planting hole, which will improve soil drainage and allow water to better penetrate to the roots.
In addition, experienced gardeners recommend adding a little mineral fertilizer to the hole, which will increase the protective properties of plants, make them more resistant to drought, and also accelerate plant growth.
But what exactly should be included?
A tablespoon of double superphosphate and the same amount of potassium sulfate will be enough.
