It is no secret that not every gardener has the opportunity to use ready-made mineral fertilizers.

In this case, according to the stories of the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti", scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , folk recipes come to the rescue of lovers of violets and pelargoniums.

One of the widely advertised ways to feed plants is bread feeding.

Owners of a lushly blooming garden on the windowsill, who have already tried this version of the nutrient solution on themselves, claim that thanks to bread, flowering becomes even more abundant, and new shoots do not take long to appear.

Well, now – the recipe for the “brick” feed itself.

To prepare the nutrient solution, you will need a piece of dried Borodinsky bread. It should be broken into several pieces and filled with a liter of water.

After 24 hours, strain the resulting infusion through a sieve and use the liquid to water the roots.

The recommended frequency for performing this procedure is once every 3-4 weeks.
