Potato broth recipe
To make a nutritious broth, you will need about 200 g of potatoes.
Pour 1 liter of water over the specified amount of vegetable and put it on the fire for half an hour. When heated, some of the liquid will evaporate and as a result, about 700-800 ml of saturated nutrient solution will usually remain in the container.
Before use, dilute the decoction with water in a ratio of 1 to 10, obtaining 7-8 liters of potato elixir, which can be used for spraying or watering plants during active growth.
Before applying to the soil, it is recommended to strain the solution to avoid the introduction of large particles.
