Any self-respecting summer resident keeps a barrel for watering in the garden. This is not an emergency supply.
It is known that watering with settled and warm water has a beneficial effect on plants and harvest. And experienced gardeners also add various potions to the water.
We will tell you about one useful and simple recipe that everyone will like during the fruiting period of cultivated plants.
They say that the product improves the formation of ovaries and also protects plantings from diseases.
What to add
This simple mixture includes 3 available ingredients:
- boric acid,
- iodine,
- potassium permanganate.
Boron and iodine are essential for plant growth and development. Both elements also strengthen plants and improve ovary formation.
How to proceed
Dissolve boric acid (10 g) in hot water (0.5 liters), then pour the solution into a watering barrel.
Next add 20 drops of iodine.
Potassium permanganate is added in the amount of 5 mg.
According to gardeners, such watering does not overfeed the plants, but it improves the soil and prevents the spread of fungi and parasitic insects.
