And since there are many different vegetables in each cottage, it turned out to be a kaleidoscope of tips.
1. Eggplant
For eggplants during flowering, fertilizing with an infusion of herbs is good. To do this, 5-6 kg of finely chopped nettle plants, dandelion leaves, plantain, mother and stepmother are placed in a barrel per 100 liters, a bucket of mullein is added, the barrel is filled to the top with water, thoroughly mixed. After a week, the infusion is again thoroughly mixed and watered with 1 liter per plant. The top dressing is repeated after 10 days.
2. Beans
When the bean pods grow a little, pinch the tops of the shoots. This will increase the flow of nutrients to growing seeds and protect crops from beet aphids. And to prevent the appearance of the latter, choose unshaded areas for sowing beans.
3. Cabbage
Previously, in order for the cabbage seedlings to take root well, enter the cabbage formation phase faster, do not crack, the seeds were prepared for sowing as follows: they were soaked for 16 hours in a solution of ascorbic acid (0.1 g of acid per 1 liter of water), carefully mixed every hour; then the solution was drained, the seeds were washed and put on germination.
During the growing season, cabbage should be well fed 8 times per leaf with the following solution: 1 g of ascorbic acid, 60 g of urea, 4 g of double superphosphate per 10 liters of water.
