Take young nettle tops, fill 2/3 of any container with them tightly, pour in warm water, add a few drops of valerian, cover tightly with a lid and leave for 5-6 days to infuse.

Stir several times during the day. The absence of foam indicates that the infusion is ready.

Fermented nettles can be easily recognized by their smell. Dilute the prepared solution in a ratio of 1:10, and for aphids 1:20.

First, water the plants with regular water, then with the nettle solution.

There is evidence that earthworms crawl from everywhere to an infusion of nettles.
