One of the important conditions for obtaining strong seedlings is the presence of a well-developed root system in the plant.
Without this requirement, the sprouts and leaves will be puny.
How can we ensure that the roots of any vegetable seedlings are in good condition?
This question was answered by an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
The Secret of Strong Seedlings
In order for the roots of a young plant to develop normally, it is necessary to use a fertilizer containing phosphorus.
Superphosphate is an ideal product for feeding seedlings.
A small amount of this fertilizer (1 tbsp.) should be poured into a glass of water brought to a boil.
After several hours, the resulting liquid must be passed through a filter surface and diluted with two liters of clean water.
As a result, the product will be ready, drops of which should be poured over the seedlings.
The first procedure should be carried out a couple of weeks after picking. Then the plant will need to be similarly fed a couple more times before transplanting into open ground.
Earlier, summer residents were told whether it was necessary to add wood ash to the soil for seedlings.
