Simple, natural remedies, like those our grandmothers used, can produce equally good results<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/1f954.svg\" alt=\"\ud83e\udd54\">Potato broth for active root growth<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The regular broth that remains after boiling potatoes can become a useful fertilizer for seedlings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to cook:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take potatoes or potato peelings, cover them with water, and simmer for about twenty minutes. It&#8217;s important not to add salt, spices, or other seasonings. After cooking, drain the liquid and let it cool completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before use, it is recommended to dilute the decoction with clean water in a 1:1 ratio. Water the seedlings with the resulting solution approximately once a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This type of feeding promotes active development of the root system and makes plants stronger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Onion peels \u2013 natural protection and additional nutrition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An infusion of onion peels is considered another proven remedy for caring for seedlings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It helps strengthen plants, promotes their healthy growth, and also serves as a natural defense against various diseases and some pests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to cook:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take one cup of dried onion peel and pour two cups of water over it. Bring the mixture to a boil and then let it steep for about two days. Then strain the infusion and dilute it with ten cups of clean water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The seedlings are watered with the resulting solution in the morning approximately once a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your plants appear weakened or are infested with pests, you can add a small amount of liquid soap to the solution and spray the leaves. This will enhance the protective effect of the infusion and help the seedlings recover more quickly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Already at the end of winter, around February, many gardeners begin to prepare for the new season and think about growing tomato seedlings.
