    Starting in June, once a week I spray tomatoes and cucumbers with coniferous broth. I cook it like this. I fill a half-liter jar of crushed pine needles with 5 liters of water. Bring to a boil and keep on low heat for 30-40 minutes. I let it cool, I filter. During the boiling time, the liquid becomes smaller, so I bring the volume up to 5 liters with clean water. I add 1-2 drops of iodine and 1-2 tbsp. green soap. I start harvesting a week (or even two) earlier than my neighbors. In addition, my plants get sick much less often.

      All ingredients of this composition are good for vegetables. Iodine and green soap help prevent the development of late blight, powdery mildew, protect against root and fruit rot. A coniferous extract stimulates the growth of plants, helps them easier to tolerate sudden changes in temperature, repels some pests. But, in my opinion, one or two drops of iodine will not be enough for the effectiveness of this solution. I recommend increasing the dose to 5 drops per 5 l of the composition. As for the coniferous broth, it is, on the contrary, prepared less concentrated (limit yourself to 1 tbsp. Needles per 5 liters of water), otherwise it can lead to burns on the leaves.

    In order to collect twice as much yield from each bush of cucumbers and tomatoes, I dissolve 10 tablets of succinic acid in a bucket of water and spray the composition of the plant, as well as the ground around them. I repeat every 10 days throughout the season. Using this method, I always get excellent results.

    Baking with apples is my family's favorite dessert, so I cook it often. I used to throw away the peel and cores, and then I read the recipe for an interesting top dressing for cucumbers. I tried it last year - and I picked the first cucumbers two weeks earlier than usual. Yes, and transplanting to the garden after the apple "cocktail" cucumbers and zucchini endured better - they immediately started to grow. I collect all apple peels, dry them on a battery or on a baking sheet in a cooling oven with an open door. I store in cloth bags or old pillowcases.
    Handful dry peel pour 1 l boiling water, boil for X minutes, I insist until the broth becomes slightly warm. I filter, I add 5 ч.л. sugar and 2-3 g (quarter of a sachet) of dry yeast. I mix everything, I cover with a towel and leave it for 4 days. Once in 2-7 days immediately after watering I pour out for each plant according to 10 / 1 st. diluted with water "cocktail" (4: 1).

    It is generally accepted that the main nutrients are nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus. It is easy to see that this is not the case if you burn an armful of dry grass. When grass burns, nitrogen (there is very little of it) evaporates, and a handful of ash is potassium and phosphorus. The bulk of plants is burned carbon. Consequently, the main element of plant nutrition is carbon in a form that can be assimilated by plants.
    It is also generally accepted that plants absorb carbon monoxide - carbon dioxide. But this is not the case. Leaves and stems of plants practically do not absorb carbon dioxide due to its low concentration in the air: carbon monoxide is heavier than air and sinks to the ground. Displacing air from the soil capillaries, carbon dioxide interacts with soil moisture, forming carbonic acid - it is this that is sucked in by the plant roots.

    Therefore, in order to supply plants with the main nutrient - carbon - it is necessary to create an increased concentration of carbon dioxide in the surface layer of the air and maintain an increased moisture content in the upper layer of the soil.
    These conditions can be met if mulch planting is applied.

    Last year, the first crop of cucumbers let us down: Zelentsy grew pot-bellied, like pears. You can’t put it in zakat or make friends with it ... I complained to a familiar experienced gardener, and he says: this is a clear sign of a lack of potassium! On his advice 3 tbsp. sifted wood ash poured 1 liter of boiling water, let it brew overnight. Stirred, diluted with water (1: 4), plentifully sprayed cucumbers with the composition, poured the remains under the root. I didn’t come across more “pussies”, cucumbers began to grow just a sight for sore eyes!
