Manure

Mullein will be the best option from which to prepare a nutrient solution. For 5 liters of water, use 0.5 kg of mullein, stir and in a few days the solution for watering is ready.

Humus

Rotted manure can be used in dry form as mulch, which is used to cover the area around plants, and can also be added during digging when preparing the area for planting crops.

Compost

Plant and organic remains that have had time to rot are used in the same way as humus.

Herbal infusion

The crushed grass is placed in a bucket to fill 2/3 of the volume, and filled with water. For greater effect, it is recommended to add a little yeast.

Cover the container with a lid and let the solution sit in a warm place for 2 weeks, stirring regularly.

The finished infusion is filtered and diluted with water in a ratio of 1:10. Now you can water.
