Many gardeners who are ardent fans of folk methods of feeding have probably come across recommendations to feed plants with decoctions of vegetables and mushrooms left over from cooking dinner.
Let's figure out whether this fertilizer is useful for "green pets".
It may come as a surprise to you, but these liquids are not without benefits.
The thing is that when vegetables are boiled, some of the potassium and other microelements they contain remain in the water.
When placed in pots with indoor flowers, they can act as organic fertilizer.
Vegetable broth can act as a food source for beneficial soil bacteria, which are known to help absorb and process, for example, nitrogen and other substances entering the soil.
This type of feeding is especially relevant for farmers or forest produce harvesters who cook a large number of different fruits.
Please note: as with any other fertilizer, it is important not to overdo it. Vegetable or mushroom broth can be used no more than once every two weeks.
