Soil pH optimization

Milk can optimize the soil pH and help nutritious microflora to grow. Here are few tips how to prepare a special milk fertilizer

Milk fertilizer

Dissolve one litre of sour milk or fermented milk in 10 litres of water. Add 3 drops of iodine and that is it.You now have a natural milk fertilizer. One cucumber plant should get 1 litre of milk fertilizer. The important thing is to use high quality milk. Do not use long-life milk that has been pasteurized. Certain recipes tell you to dilute the milk in 1:2 ratio, but that tends to be little too strong.
