Simple principle
Plants can be fertilized in the basic concept with virtually everything that contains the necessary elements. Milk is definitely not an exception in this respect, so we can rely on the fact that it will give tomatoes both calcium and necessary minerals. Why fertilize tomatoes with calcium? It is simple: this element can effectively combat the attack of the plant by rotting flowers, which many gardeners are struggling, unfortunately, regularly. A healthier and stronger plant can better resist other pitfalls of the outside world.
It’s really simple
The use of milk as fertilizers for tomatoes is no science that we would have to have two universities for. It is quite sufficient to dilute milk with water in a ratio of 1: 1 to 1: 2 and the fertilizer will be ready. We have two options – either prepared with the tomato solution and wait until everything needed to absorb the roots from the soil, or it is also a suitable solution of spraying leaves, where the necessary protective nutrients are absorbed into the plant and in this way. The second procedure is more suitable when you strive for greater defense of the plants against molds.
Every two weeks
How often to “pour milk plants”? Experts advise a 14 -day frequency and moderate watering or spraying. As in most human activities, here is that less is sometimes more. Too shed soil will soon start to smell the milk soon, the leaves could even begin to twist, and we would record the molds due to unnecessary moisture, from which we – our plants – should protect us.
Try it otherwise
Although milk is a very good choice, we can return to the kitchen for other ingredients. For those who like bananas, it will not be a problem to soak the peels for several hours in the water and make excellent fertilizer full of potassium for strong tomato growth. The same result is achieved with water that remains after cooking potatoes, only we have to count on it and water. An important material for making homemade fertilizers is also yeast, which we soak in water. Vitamin B can also support plant growth.
Tomatoes will thank you
Whatever the options you offer, your plants will be stronger, healthier and more vital. They are then able to offer an unprecedented crop, and that is definitely worth it.
