How to fight rot

Take one tablespoon of dolomite flour per 200 ml of 9% vinegar and mix. It is better to mix in a 1-2 liter jar, because when mixing the ingredients, a violent chemical reaction will occur.

When it is finished, the resulting concentrate must be diluted in 10 liters of water.

The prepared fertilizer is applied in the amount of 1 liter per root.

To consolidate the result, gardeners recommend adding 5-7 ml of dimexide solution, which can be purchased at a pharmacy, to 10 liters of water and watering.

Gardeners claim that these additives help stop the development of blossom-end rot instantly.
