Milk is not only a tasty drink often used in cooking.
This is also an unconventional, but quite effective gardening tool.
The product is a source of potassium, phosphorus and vitamins. This means that the drink can act as a kind of fertilizer.
Milk can also be used as a remedy against dangerous insects and microorganisms.
An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh emphasizes: the white drink is especially useful for such popular garden crops as cucumbers and tomatoes.
How to properly water cucumbers and tomatoes with milk
First, the white drink must be diluted with clean water five times.
It is advisable to add a few drops of iodine to the resulting mixture. The result will be not just a fertilizer, but also a disinfectant.
The finished product should be poured into the grooves. The depressions should be located around the garden crops.
A properly performed procedure increases the chances of getting a bountiful harvest.
How to Spray Tomatoes with Milk Correctly
Spraying with milk is a procedure that results in protecting the plant from numerous diseases.
But the product will only be useful for tomato bushes. You shouldn't spray cucumbers with the milk product.
The mixture is prepared simply: for a bucket of water, a liter of milk, a couple dozen drops of iodine and a little grated laundry soap.
You need to spray the tomato bushes with drops of this product after the first leaf blades appear. The procedure will be most effective if you do it in the evening.
Earlier, summer residents were told about an evening procedure that allows them to get a triple pepper harvest.
