Many summer residents grow bell peppers. After all, the vegetable is great for making salads, appetizers, and so on.

At the same time, the culture is quite capricious, which means that when growing it, you should remember about special care so as not to lose the harvest.

In addition, you should remember about fertilizing. Some of them can not only help to get a high-quality pepper harvest, but also increase fruiting.

As experienced gardeners note, wood ash, infusions based on manure or nettles are usually used as fertilizers.

But there is also a complex fertilizer that has a positive effect on the growth, development and fruiting of the crop. It is prepared very simply and involves a mixture of the components listed above.

You need to prepare a 100-liter barrel and fill it one-third with chopped nettles. Then you need to put about 5-6 kilograms of manure and 500 grams of wood ash in the barrel. Then you need to cover everything with a lid and leave it for a couple of weeks. Periodically, you need to mix it all up.

Before use, the product must be filtered and diluted with water in a ratio of 1 to 10.

It is enough to apply this product 2-3 times per season. The beds should be watered abundantly with clean water beforehand. It is better to apply the fertilizer in the evening.

For each young bush you will have to spend 0.5 liters of solution. If the plant is adult - a liter.
