Tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers will start growing by the hour: what you need to throw directly into the watering barrel

Peppers and tomatoes need to be fertilized three times per season.

However, some savvy summer residents feed nightshades twice a month and can boast of a richer harvest.

Together with the expert of the online publication TUT NOVOSTI, scientist agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh how to reduce the time of fertilizing and get a bountiful harvest.

Phosphorus-potassium fertilizers

In order for tomatoes and peppers to produce a bountiful harvest, they will need phosphorus and potassium.

Considering that plants need to be watered 2-3 times a week, then you should calculate a safe dose of these fertilizers and add them immediately to the barrel. This way you can feed the plants with each watering without risk.

The norm for 10 liters of water is 20-30 grams of pekacid or 15 grams of potassium monophosphate. Considering that watering will be done twice a week, we get the following formula.

There should be 5-7.5 grams of pekacid, and 3-4 grams of potassium monophosphate. These figures should be multiplied by the capacity of the watering container, thereby obtaining a safe dose, and add the substances directly to the barrel.
