Growing strong, healthy plants capable of producing a good harvest is only possible from strong seedlings. Therefore, it is very important to look after and care for them at all stages of growth.
Experienced gardeners, for example, often treat young sprouts with simple folk fertilizers, which, unlike special fertilizers, do not harm either the seedlings or the soil.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told how to feed young seedlings.
So, to saturate plants with potassium, they use the most ordinary potato water.
Immediately after cooking the vegetables, strain it, dilute it with clean water, let it cool completely and then simply water the seedlings. This feeding is done approximately once a week.
Onion peel is also very useful for young plants.
By inhibiting the growth and reproduction of bacteria, it protects them from various diseases.
The decoction from this product, which is available to everyone, is also very easy to prepare: a glass of clean dry peelings is poured with 2 glasses of water and brought to a boil. Then it is cooled, mixed well and infused in a dark place for two days.
Afterwards, it is carefully filtered and diluted with 2 liters of clean, necessarily settled water. The frequency of watering is the same as in the previous version.
When using various fertilizers, even the most harmless ones, it is important to exercise caution: first, you need to conduct a test on one or two plants, and then, in case of a positive result, move on to all other plantings.
