Pepper is a crop that loves heat. Nighttime drops in temperature can slow down their growth and development.
The first feeding is done between 10 and 14 days after transplanting the seedlings into the soil. The root system of young plants is not yet fully developed, so they cannot fully absorb nutrients from the soil. The main objective of the first fertilization is to activate the microflora of the soil and promote the growth of the root system.
One of the fertilizer options at this stage is grass tea compost. To prepare it, freshly cut grass is taken and placed in a large bag. The top of the bag is pierced and left for 3-5 days in the shade for fermentation. After that, the resulting herb dough is filled with 1/3 of the cube and filled with water, stirring well. The recommended dosage is 700 ml per plant. After 2 weeks, fertilization should be repeated.
In between these feedings, you can also add dried wood ash: sprinkle a small handful around the shrubs, and then pour with water.
In addition, peppers can be fed with regular fermentation of the grass. This activates the microflora in the soil and provides the necessary nutrition to the peppers.
Bread infusion is also effective for feeding peppers. To prepare it, fill a bucket 1/3 full with the rest of the bread, then pour it with water and leave it in the greenhouse for 2-3 days.
Then everything is mixed well and to water the infusion it must be diluted with water in the proportion. 1:10. When this solution is added to the soil with irrigation, it will feed the soil bacteria and fungi, leading to a significant improvement in soil structure and pepper nutrition.
