One of the demanding crops on a summer cottage plot is eggplant. Although it is not the main ingredient of home-made preserves, every gardener wants to treat himself to some “eggplants” of his own production.
With all this, it is necessary to understand that this is a capricious culture.
What do eggplants need?
1. At a minimum, the plant needs suitable nutritious soil.
2. Appropriate care and conditions.
3. And not the most mediocre fertilizers, which are applied regularly.
How to feed eggplants
At this stage, talking about seedlings is pointless. The plants have already taken root after transplantation and everything for which the phytolamps on the windowsills have been burning for so long is approaching.
If you don’t feed the eggplants now, the harvest will clearly not be the envy of your neighbors.
1. You can fill a 100-liter barrel 2/3 full with grass collected from the garden and add water.
The fertilizer should ferment for a week. Then 1 liter of the additive is poured under one bush.
2. Fill a 50-liter tank 2/3 full with freshly cut grass. Add 1 bucket of fresh cow manure and 200 grams of wood ash.
The ingredients are mixed and left to infuse for a week. 3 liters of concentrate should be diluted in a bucket of water. Consumption is 1 liter per plant.
3. You can also feed the eggplants with boiled potato waste. After the broth has cooled, water the eggplant bushes with it.
4. Dissolve 1 kg of manure in 15 l of water. Leave to ferment for a week. Use for watering under the root.
