We'll tell you how to use this weed to your advantage in the garden.
What are the benefits of celandine in the garden?
An infusion is made from celandine, which is suitable for both spraying and watering plants.
4 kilograms of celandine are crushed and infused for a couple of days in 10 liters of water.
The substances contained in celandine are effective against pests, especially soil pests such as wireworms.
Also, celandine infusion helps to get rid of cabbage butterflies, flea beetles, aphids, moths, leafhoppers, leaf rollers and many other pests.
Secondly, celandine infusion can replace chemical seed dressings and growth stimulants.
It is suitable for both onions and flower bulbs.
We soak the bulbs in the infusion for several hours, dry them and plant them as usual.
To fertilize the soil, use an infusion of celandine, prepared in a similar way to a nettle infusion.
Place the crushed celandine in a barrel and fill it with water. The barrel should stand in the sun for a week until the infusion ferments.
An important nuance: celandine should be collected before the seed pods ripen to prevent contamination of crops.
