Vermicompost for seedlings and potted plants: my new magic wand
Earlier in the care of the garden and potted flowers, I used only liquid mineral fertilizers in liquid form. It is believed that this is enough.
But that year I decided to start an experiment to feed organic flowers. And I really liked the result. In this article I will tell you why I stopped on biohumus and how to use it to bring maximum benefit.
Vermicompost... What kind of fertilizer?
Vermicompost - a product of processing of earthworms, as the basis for it is usually taken cattle manure and worms in the process livelihoods absorb the compost (serves food for them), and their selection (kaprolity) are an excellent fertilizer for all kinds of plants.
It does not sound very much, right? But vermicompost fertility superior humus. I use the liquid form of fertilizer. The smell is, strong enough, but it quickly disappears from the pot and "does not stink."
Assessing any part of the plant, should examine its composition and dismantle the main components. I write in plain language:
- Humic acids in the form of salts and fulfokisloty. They contain amino acids, chemicals and whatnot. The complex is a positive effect on plant growth and development.
- soil bacteria. An important advantage of vermicompost - it does not contain pathogenic micro-organisms, but there are micro-organisms that create healthy soil microflora.
- Potassium and phosphorusWhich are necessary for root growth and flowering.
- Other vital micronutrients for plants:
- Plant hormones and other biologically active substances - the most incomprehensible for me the point. What is it and what action? But, hopefully, they, too, is beneficial.
In general, it is not just a one-time dressing, but also contribute to the increase in the fertility of the earth in a pot or container. And is good for plants - both indoor and seedlings.
How do I use vermicompost
I alternating feeding:
1. Fertilizing liquid complex fertilizers.
2. Fertilizing vermicompost.
The interval between feeding procedures - 2 weeks. I believe that the balance and harmony - the main thing in nature. A lovely flowers, albeit at home - it is an integral part of it!
I have noticed a positive result. Flowers and leaves are actively expanding, many are already producing buds. After fertilizing vermicompost in the growth and power went seedlings petunias that 2 weeks of "stand still" with thin legs. I think that next weekend I have already raspikiruyu in individual cups.
