The product that 99% of summer residents throw in the trash can turned out to be useful for cucumbers and other vegetables.

Thrifty gardeners never miss the opportunity to use effective folk remedies to get a luxurious harvest.

So, experienced gardeners are in no hurry to get rid of dried or moldy bread. There is no place for it in the kitchen, but you can find a use for it in the garden.

Fertilizer for cucumbers

The nutritious mixture is prepared simply: the bread is poured with water so that it is completely immersed in the liquid.

Leave it like this for 1-2 weeks. As soon as the smell of fermentation appears, the infusion is ready.

The trick is that bread contains proteins that break down during fermentation. First they break down into peptides, and then into amino acids.

The latter are well absorbed by plants. As a result, the yield increases, and the plantings better withstand adverse weather conditions.

Cucumbers and tomatoes respond well to fertilizing. But other plants will also reward the gardener for his efforts.

The resulting infusion is filtered and then diluted with water in a ratio of 1:10. Watered at the root.
