Many summer residents do not even realize that you can add just a couple of inexpensive tablets to an ordinary 200-liter barrel of water, and the result will not be long in coming. This simple technique helps to harvest in buckets.
We're talking about succinic acid. The product is inexpensive, sold in any pharmacy and is very effective. Fertilizing perfectly stimulates the root system of plants and gives a powerful impetus to growth. In addition, it activates flowering and ovary formation. Succinic acid is also completely safe for plants and humans.
Need to dissolve 10 pharmaceutical tablets of succinic acid in one liter of water, and then pour this concentrate into a two-hundred-liter barrel. If powder is used instead of tablets, only 10 grams is enough.
“You will see for yourself its effect when you see that all the plants will be healthy. And most importantly, they will bear good fruit,” shares the author of the Zen channel “Master-Ok” (12+).
How to properly organize watering from a barrel
The easiest option is to simply pour or pour the required amount of fertilizer directly into the watering container. Many gardeners have these two-hundred-liter barrels on their plots. The author tries not to take water from a well: he collects rainwater in a barrel, and it is much more beneficial for green spaces. Besides, it’s easier this way – you stir the fertilizer in the water and you know for sure that the plants will not suffer from an overdose.
In addition, ice water can nullify all efforts. And water from a barrel is always at a pleasant temperature, especially if it has heated up under the sun. If you don’t want the liquid to overheat too much, simply cover the container with a lid, especially when the barrel is standing in the open sun.
What other means can be used
Potassium humate. It works ideally at the moment when the plants have already begun to bear fruit. Vegetables and fruits become larger and acquire a richer taste. The author pours 1–2 teaspoons (or 10 drops) of the liquid preparation into a liter of boiling water and leaves for 1–2 hours. After this, the infused mixture is poured into a barrel.
Iodine. A useful supplement not only for plants – all living organisms need iodine. With iodine everything is much simpler: just add 10-20 drops to the barrel, mix and you can start watering.
Potassium permanganate (potassium permanganate). It is sold in powder form, so it also needs to be prepared first. They literally take the powder on the tip of a knife, dissolve it in a liter jar, and then pour the resulting solution into a barrel.
