The benefits of natural fertilizers are obvious: environmentally friendly, safe, easy to use and affordable.
Among the most popular fertilizers that can be prepared at home, gardeners speak positively about nettles.
Benefits of nettle
Many people know about the benefits of nettle. The plant is rich in nutrients that plants need for good development.
Fertilizers based on nettle will help plants grow faster and strengthen roots and stems. Adding nettle to the soil will have a positive effect on its composition: enrich and restore it.
Natural fertilizer is an excellent preventative measure against diseases and pests and a guarantee of a huge harvest.
How to Make Nettle Fertilizer
Nettle fertilizer is applied both under the root and on the leaves.
Root dressing is prepared as follows: in 5 liters of water, mix 5 grams of dry yeast, 1-1.5 tablespoons of sugar; 1 handful of crackers and a quarter of a bucket of finely chopped nettles.
Add the crackers to the water and let it sit for 24 hours, then the remaining ingredients and let it sit for 24 hours. Add 2.5 buckets of water to the finished infusion.
Apply fertilizer no more than 2-3 times per season. Plants will absorb nettle fertilizer well during the growing season and during fruit setting.
