Many experienced gardeners collect nettles, since the plant has a rich vitamin and mineral composition.
Some people eat it or make teas, but the plant can be used to make high-quality fertilizer to significantly increase yields.
How to prepare fertilizer?
Two-week option
If you are not in a hurry, you can prepare an excellent nettle-based infusion that can be used after 14 days.
You will need to pick a sufficient amount of young nettles and fill any large container with the plant by 50%. Then pour in water.
We wait for the specified amount of time, not forgetting to stir the contents thoroughly once a day.
Accelerated process
You can make excellent fertilizer in seven days if you know the right recipe. Put nettles and rye bread in a bucket or barrel.
Next, pour in water so that a third of the container remains empty. Also, do not forget to stir periodically.
The resulting concentrate is quite economical: for one liter of infusion we take a bucket of water. This fertilizer is especially good for tomatoes and strawberries, notes Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , a scientist agronomist and landscape designer, expert of the online publication "BelNovosti".
