Many summer residents fill barrels with water in advance so that they can water their plants with settled, warm water.
But there is one problem with this.
The thing is that the water can start to “bloom”.
This means that it is no longer suitable for watering, as it has a specific smell, and the color may change. Usually, it is enough to cover the barrel with a lid to prevent the problem, but on hot days this is unlikely to help.
But experienced gardeners know what to do. They recommend adding a little potassium permanganate to the barrel to disinfect the watering liquid.
This product will maintain the quality of water and will also have a positive effect on the growth and development of fruit crops and other plants.
Some summer residents are sure that “green” water is not harmful, which means that there is no need to rush to drain it.
It is believed that it becomes an excellent growth stimulant due to the chlorella that appears in such a liquid.
It is important to remember that using water that is too polluted or from swampy areas will cause problems.
