In the middle of summer, when the sun is roasting and the garden is teeming with life, Peonies are already after a spectacular flower show. This does not mean, however, that you can stop taking care of them, because they intensively prepare underground for the next season, storing nutrients in their roots.
It is these reserves that will be crucial for their condition, strength and glade flowers next year, so it is worth supporting them in the summer. July, or rather its other half is a good time to start supplying plants with “fuel” in the form of nutrients rich in potassium and phosphorus with limited nitrogen content.
In July it works best loose fertilizer for pens, which you will make yourself, mixing three completely natural ingredients that they need most in the resting phasebecause they provide what flowers need the most at this time of year.
It is of course: Compost (positively affecting the soil structure, providing organic matter), egg shells (with a lot of calcium, supporting root development) and wood ash (with easily absorbed potassium, which supports plant resistance).
However, the most important are proportions. Combine 2 handfuls of compost with 1 tablespoon of wood ash and 2 crushed egg shells. Spread the mixture next to the peonies, about 10 cm from the main rush (not closer) and mix the conditioner with the top layer of soil. Then water and repeat the treatment in a month and a half.
