It sounds like you’ve discovered a powerful natural fertilizer or growth booster for your seedlings that leads to a much bigger harvest—that’s amazing! 🌱✨ While you didn’t specify the exact ingredient, I’m guessing it might be one of these effective natural solutions often used by gardeners:
Possible Natural Seedling Boosters
- Banana Peel Tea (Rich in potassium for strong roots & fruiting)
- Comfrey or Nettle Fermented Tea (High in nitrogen & minerals)
- Eggshell Water (Calcium for cell growth, prevents rot)
- Fish Emulsion or Seaweed Extract (Trace minerals & hormones)
- Wood Ash Soak (Potassium & pH balancer)
- Bay Leaf Infusion (Anti-fungal, may stimulate growth)
If You’re Using Bay Leaves:
- A bay leaf tea (steeped in hot water) might help by:
- Strengthening roots (contains trace minerals)
- Preventing damping-off disease (mild antifungal properties)
- Improving nutrient uptake (acts as a mild growth stimulant)
How to Maximize the Effect for Bigger Harvests
✔ Use it weekly on seedlings until transplanting.
✔ Combine with compost tea for microbial benefits.
✔ Spray on leaves (foliar feed) for faster absorption.
Would you mind sharing what exactly you feed your seedlings? I’d love to refine the method for even better yields! 🌿💪
