You won’t have to spend money on this fertilizer, but it will bring a million dollars in benefits.

No summer resident can do without fertilizers. Some stock up on a whole arsenal of various purchased products, while others do not shy away from folk remedies.

To avoid spending money on fertilizers for eggplants, summer residents use a simple trick.

Seedlings are usually moved to a permanent location no earlier than 60-70 days after sowing the seeds. When preparing beds, gardeners throw a mixture of several plants into the planting hole.

They raid the area and pick nettles, dandelions, celandine, and clover. The plants are crushed, and then "green" fertilizer is poured into the bottom of the hole. The grass is sprinkled with a small layer of soil, and then the seedlings are planted.

Some gardeners supplement the "green" fertilizer with fish waste. They grind it with a meat grinder until it becomes minced, and then throw 1 tbsp into each hole.
