Any gardener has access to a considerable number of free and effective means for increasing plant yields.

What kind of “useful trash” should not be thrown away?

After 48 hours, the ideal product for protecting garden crops from dangerous insects will be ready.

The "tomato" infusion should be poured into a spray bottle to spray vulnerable plants.

Eggshells

Eggshells are a source of calcium, magnesium and potassium.

In order for this waste to be useful in the country, it must be crushed and then added to the soil.

You can also make an infusion based on the resulting mass.

Coniferous tree needles

Two kilos of the collected mass should be placed in a bucket and filled with water to the brim of the container.

After a week, the resulting infusion can be used to spray plants. However, before use, the liquid must be diluted with clean water.

It wouldn't hurt to add a small amount of liquid soap.

An infusion of modified spruce and pine leaves is an excellent remedy against dangerous insects.
