Before applying fertilizers where tomatoes were grown, summer residents need to tidy up the soil, that is, disinfect it.
Tomatoes often leave pathogenic microorganisms in the soil, which can ruin your harvest plans for the next season.
For this purpose, people use a homemade solution. The ingredients for its preparation can probably be found at every dacha.

After tomatoes, it is recommended to treat the soil with a solution of 9% vinegar (1 liter) and 3% hydrogen peroxide (200 grams).
The ingredients are mixed and then kept in a closed container in a dark place for a week at room temperature.
How to use
The prepared solution must be poured into a watering can or sprayer and ten liters of water must be added.
Next, we cultivate the soil so that it becomes wet to a depth of 1-2 centimeters.
However, it is important to remember that after such treatment, beneficial bacteria will also die along with pathogens.
Therefore, it is essential to add biological additives to restore the fertile properties of the soil.
It is also important to remember that biopreparations retain their effectiveness under certain temperature conditions.
