How to Make Quality Fertilizer from Nettle: Experienced Gardeners Reveal a Classic Recipe
Many experienced gardeners, when young nettles appear, try to immediately prepare as much plant material as possible.
After all, it is the young nettle that is the most useful.
The plant can be used immediately to prepare the most valuable fertilizer. You can also dry the nettle and use it to prepare fertilizers later, notes the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
How to make a classic nettle-based composition
The plant will need to be crushed and filled with it to about 60-70% of the selected container. Then pour in hot water and leave the fertilizer in the sun.
Some gardeners add yeast to speed up the process of preparing the composition, but you can do without it. It is advisable to mix the fertilizer regularly.
When the specific foam disappears, the valuable concentrate is ready. As a rule, this takes two weeks.
If you use nettle fertilizer for foliar treatment, then you need to take two buckets of water per liter of the product.
If you have chosen the watering method, then one bucket of water will be enough.
