Some cunning summer residents bury bay leaves on their country plots.
At first glance, this procedure does not make any sense.
But in fact there is an effect. And a very serious one.
It turns out that bay leaf can act not only as a spice, but also as a luxurious garden remedy.
Bay leaves are a fertilizer, a pest control agent, and an additive for protecting plants from various diseases.
How to bury bay leaves correctly
First, dig a five-centimeter hole and place three bay leaves in it.
Next, fill the hole with soil. After that, water the small area where the procedure was performed.
If you don’t want to bury the bay leaf, then simply prepare a decoction based on this spice and pour the resulting liquid over the area.
Here's what you need to do: put 5 leaves in a saucepan, pour in a liter of water, put the container on the stove, bring the contents of the container to a boil, dilute the decoction with plain water 10 times.
Effect of the procedure
Bay leaf is a source of a considerable amount of microelements, which are of great importance for garden and horticultural crops.
If you bury bay leaves, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, calcium, fluorine and much more will enter the soil.
The spice also contains essential oils that repel "uninvited guests" of the plot. In other words, the number of pests will be significantly reduced.
And thanks to the phytoncides and tannins contained in the bay leaf, the plants that will later grow on the site will become less vulnerable to fungal and bacterial diseases.
Important point: the procedure will be most effective if performed in early spring or autumn.
