As is known, strong roots provide seedlings with the necessary amount of nutrients, help resist diseases and pests, and also promote rapid growth and development of plants.

That's why we decided to share with you an effective method that experienced gardeners use to grow strong and healthy seedlings.

To do this, you will have to prepare "potato broth".

The potatoes need to be washed thoroughly, covered with water and put on the fire. You can use either whole tubers or the peel left after peeling the potatoes, but in this case you should be prepared for a specific smell to appear.

When the liquid boils, reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for about 20 minutes.

After the specified time, strain the broth through cheesecloth and leave to cool.

It is convenient to apply fertilizer using a syringe or a douche – 2-3 drops under the root of each plant.

Important point: it is strictly forbidden to salt potatoes or add any spices to them during cooking.

Earlier, the expert listed flowers that need to be sown for seedlings as early as January.
