Weed-based infusion is popular among gardeners as a fertilizer, but sometimes they prepare it incorrectly.

Experienced gardeners pointed out one nuance that will lead to additional problems on the plot.

Weeds are an eternal problem for summer residents. Some regularly weed them, while others leave everything as is. Still others do not just pick the grass, but prepare nutritious fertilizer for plantings from it.

Often, the basis of green fertilizer is nettle, dandelion, couch grass and other plants that are just trying to take over the entire area.

The weed infusion contains many valuable elements for planting. Not in huge quantities, but you can get some benefit. It is important to understand that liquid compost will not be enough, you need to add other fertilizers.

The mistake of summer residents is that they prepare an infusion from any herb. Even from those plants that were already ready to scatter seeds around the plot.

If such weeds get into the infusion, the planting material does not disappear anywhere, but subsequently ends up in the garden bed, sprouts - and the number of weeds increases.
