What to add to the ground for pepper seedlings, so that it grows powerful roots from the first weeks. Forgotten recipe from aunt
Flaming fireworks, fellow gardeners!
Today on the agenda are tricks for growing sweet pepper seedlings. I have already entered the upcoming sowing season into my garden calendar. And it's time to remember the trick of your aunt. With one addition to the ground, it stimulated the growth of powerful roots, entangling the entire earthy ball with a powerful cobweb.
Citizens began to use baking powder en masse. Everyone has heard of perlite, vermiculite, sphagnum and other newfangled additives.
Yes, their benefits are undeniable. Baking powder makes the soil airy, allowing the roots to breathe. But they also have other benefits. Small solid inclusions added to the soil become an obstacle to root growth. And this, comrades, is great: because, encountering an obstacle, the roots begin to branch out on their own.
But don't rush to buy fashionable supplements. Do not throw out the shells of the eggs! She will serve as our baking powder. And not only with baking powder! Of course, the shell disintegrates in the ground for a very long time. But during watering, the water will still be wash out calcium - a building brick for the growth of both roots and the green part of young pepper.
Rinse and dry the shells, then crush. It is not necessary to powder it - it is enough to create small particles. When planting and picking peppers, be sure to mix the egg powder into your soil. My aunt did not leave an exact indication of the quantity. I add about 1 tablespoon to the soil with a volume of 100 ml.
