If you have peonies growing at your dacha, now is a great time to prepare the plants for winter.

One of the important stages is feeding peonies.

Thanks to this, the flowers will not be afraid of frost and difficult weather conditions.

What nutritional options can you consider?

Manure

We are talking about rotted fertilizer, because in its fresh form it can cause harm. It is recommended to mix one part of the manure with five parts of water. Let it sit for several days.

Afterwards, we dilute the concentrate with a bucket of water and feed the peonies. One flower requires eight glasses of the specified product.

Banana peel

Not everyone remembers that this product plays an important role in matters of peony care. The peel of the fruit must be washed and dried. Then we divide it into small pieces and bury it in a flower bed with peonies.

Shell

This is also a good option for feeding. We collect the shells of a dozen eggs, pour in half a bucket of water and wait 72 hours. Then we filter the product and water it undiluted.

One peony requires two glasses of fertilizer.
