Why do summer residents scatter cereals on their beds in the fall: an effective folk fertilizer
26.08.2024 11:15
Modern summer residents do not know what a shortage of goods is. The stores offer the widest selection of domestic and imported fertilizers. In addition, classic organic fertilizers are still available to most.
But despite this, many gardeners are trying to find alternative means.
Popular wisdom suggests using regular cereals in the fall instead of organic and mineral supplements.
Lifehacks with cereals
If you are planning to close the summer cottage season soon and do not know what to do with the leftovers from the grocery store, then use them as fertilizer.
Experts from the people believe that corn or barley groats do not differ much in their properties from traditional fertilizers.
Due to the organic substances and microelements they contain, they are supposedly capable of turning the soil in the beds into almost black soil.
It should be noted that scientific confirmation of this information could not be found.
How to proceed
1. Before adding cereals, you need to weed the beds and get rid of other vegetation.
2. The soil needs to be loosened, then the grains need to be scattered and raked in to a depth of 5-10 cm.
3. Then, abundant watering is carried out for several days and weeding is mandatory.
Experts remind that folk remedies often do not allow calculating the required volume of fertilizers and therefore replenishing the lack of nutrients in the soil.
