By trusting other people's advice, inexperienced gardeners risk being left without a harvest of the main vegetables - cucumbers and tomatoes.

Only an experienced farmer can recognize harmful advice and foresee irreparable consequences after using miraculous fertilizers.

We will tell you about one such example, when instead of promises of an unprecedented harvest, nothing at all grows in the garden beds of summer residents.

First of all, this concerns fertilizing cucumbers, tomatoes and garlic. According to the advisers, the harvest should increase at least 2 times.

Harmful advice

You shouldn’t believe that feeding the named crops with urea will help fill all your bins with vegetables.

So, summer residents are advised to use a solution of 4 spoons of this product per bucket of water.

Experienced gardeners call this concentration “terrible”, and all because it is destructive to the root system.

Even if the plants survive, the vegetables will be full of nitrates after such feeding.

But more often than not, there is no hope of a harvest.
