Pepper loves it: what to put in the hole before planting to make the pepper happy with the harvest

Sweet pepper is a capricious crop. To obtain a rich harvest, you will have to put in a lot of effort. Pepper is a heat-loving plant. Wind and drafts are destructive to vegetables. The crop cannot tolerate excess sun.

Secret of success

The seeds of a plant that produced a good harvest last year do not guarantee the same agricultural success this summer. You will have to sweat and take the issue of feeding the plant seriously. It is important to know the secret ingredients that should be placed at the bottom of the hole when planting the crop in the ground.

Organic help

Organic products that are safe and effective for increasing the yield of sweet peppers are:

• green manure - green fertilizer, plants that are grown and then plowed. This method saturates the soil with nitrogen and stops the growth of weeds;
• compost is a fertilizer resulting from the decomposition of animal or plant waste. Can be replaced with humus;
• soil deoxidizer, since pepper does not tolerate acidic soil;
• vermicompost is organic matter processed by special worms, enriched with minerals.

Folk remedies

Organic supplements are good and effective, but they are not the only effective means. People's experience and ingenuity come to the rescue. There are several different types of pepper feeding that are used to fill the hole before planting the plant:

• Bird feather.Saturated with useful microelements, molybdenum, a favorite for the culture. It is enough to place a handful of feathers and fluff taken from the pillow into the planting hole and sprinkle some soil on top. Water the hole. You can plant seedlings after the liquid has been absorbed into the ground.

• Banana peel. A handful of dried skins, rich in macronutrients, is added to the bottom of the prepared pit. The process of using this useful additive is identical to using feathers.
• Egg shells. The additive is saturated with useful calcium, promotes deoxidation and improvement of the soil. Having dug a hole, place a small handful of crushed eggshells on the bottom.
• Onion peel. The collected dry peel must first be doused with boiling water and left to steep. Now the mixture is ready to protect the peppers from pests. Having placed the pulp at the bottom of the depression, sprinkle it with earth and water it.
• Ash. Fertilizer saturated with phosphorus, calcium, and potassium, which are most valuable for the growth of peppers. Helps reduce soil acidity, which is important for the plant. You need to put a glass of ash into the hole, sprinkle it with earth, and water it.

The use of these funds in combination will increase the yield and quality of the grown crop. Folk tips are easy to use, environmentally friendly, do not harm the taste, and improve the appearance of the pepper.
