One action at the beginning of spring will provide your favorite plantings with nutrition for at least one season.
Some summer residents bury nails, horseshoes, and tin cans near trees or bushes.
Other gardeners bury chicken eggs in their plots. The well-known product can become a guarantee of a rich harvest.
What is the benefit?
A raw egg is a source of a number of nutrients. It is especially rich in calcium, and also contains magnesium, sulfur, sodium, zinc, and phosphorus.
The product decomposes slowly and gradually releases valuable macro- and microelements to plants. Ideal for perennials.
How to use
You can bury both fresh and rotten eggs. For plants, this does not play a big role. But first, you need to pierce the shell with a needle.
Bury the eggs to a depth of 20 cm. It is best to do this in early spring. For small plants, 1-2 eggs will be enough, and for adult trees, at least 5-6 will be needed.
This fertilizer is not a panacea, but in combination with other fertilizers it provides the plantings with additional nutrition.
