As an experienced gardener, I strive to get the most out of my plantings, so I always add a few non-standard fertilizers to my strawberry bushes early in the spring. One of these fertilizers is iodine.

Today I will tell you how to use this fertilizer correctly and what effect it gives to our strawberries.

Iodine solution makes the bushes develop faster, they become more saturated green.

Moreover, you will notice that the number of berries will increase, and the berries themselves will be much larger.

Although the effect of iodine on seedlings has not yet been fully studied, it is known that it is a normalizer and regulator of nitrogen metabolism.

Iodine also participates in the synthesis of proteins and amino acids, which directly affects crop yields.

Today, most fertilizer manufacturers include iodine in complex formulations, which confirms its effectiveness.

It has been established that iodine is most effectively absorbed by seedlings through leaves.

Therefore, I recommend watering plants from a watering can, directly on the foliage.

To prepare the fertilizer, you will need only a few minutes: dilute 10 drops of iodine in 10 liters of water and water the plants.

However, you can increase the feeding to give the plants additional nutrition.

Add 2 tablespoons of sifted ash and a pinch of potassium permanganate to the iodine water to provide the plants with additional nutrients.

Strawberries simply love this type of feeding, and you will be able to get a larger and more fruitful harvest.
