Gardeners will come up with anything to avoid going to the store for fertilizers.
Among other fertilizers based on household waste, gardeners are offered to water the most sacred thing – seedlings – with kefir.
Let's try to find out whether this is possible, and if so, how to act correctly.
Watering with kefir
Gardeners who use this fertilizer unanimously say that kefir saturates the soil with phosphorus, calcium and magnesium.
It is believed that this natural fertilizer not only improves the quality of the soil, but also promotes the development of the root system.
In general, young plants better absorb nutrients from the soil, which affects the future harvest.
At the same time, kefir protects seedlings from diseases and pests.
How to proceed
To prepare the feed, you need to dissolve 100 ml of kefir in 900 ml of settled water.
Top dressing is carried out after preliminary watering and only at the root.
The interval between fertilization applications is 10 days.
Later, this additive can be used in the beds after transplanting the seedlings.
In this case, the plants will take root faster and begin to develop.
Whether it is worth using folk fertilizers is up to each gardener to decide for himself.
But experts agree that such recipes cannot replace full-fledged fertilizers and can be used by summer residents only as an auxiliary one at their own peril and risk.
