Growing peppers involves employing specific techniques for a successful harvest in your small kitchen garden. To ensure a bountiful yield from your pepper seedlings, it’s crucial to recognize that these vegetables do not thrive in acidic soil. Therefore, it is advisable to utilize a suitable method to alkalize the soil, preferably during the autumn season. However, even if you’ve missed the autumn window, it’s not too late to create a soil mixture that fosters optimal pepper growth, and we’ll provide guidance on how to do so.
Ingredients:
- 1 liter of organic liquid fertilizer
- 9 liters of water
- A 200-250 ml glass filled with chalk fragments, available from agricultural and construction stores
Preparation and Usage:
- Pour the 9 liters of water into a watering can.
- Add the chalk fragments from the glass and 1 liter of organic liquid fertilizer, then thoroughly mix the solution.
- Apply one liter of this mixture to the base of the pepper plants that have been previously watered, as the alkaline effect is more effective on moist soil.
- Within a few days, you’ll observe an improvement in the plants’ condition.
- If your garden soil remains highly acidic, repeat this method every 7-10 days for continued benefits.
