Growing thuja is not the most difficult task, but sometimes it can be expensive due to specialized fertilizers.
There is an easy way to make homemade fertilizer that will save you money and make your arborvitaes grow at a fast rate!
Thujas are often used in gardens as hedges. In order for them to fulfill their role, they need to be properly cared for.
For this you can use homemade fertilizer.
The type of fertilizer used for thuja depends on the time of year, prevailing weather conditions and the stage of their development.
In autumn, you should take care of a large dose of potassium and phosphorus, which will prepare them for winter. However, when it starts to get warm outside, the bushes need a lot of magnesium and nitrogen, which will prevent yellowing and dying of branches.
Homemade fertilizer for thuja. Use leftovers from meals and enjoy a lush hedge.
This simple home trick will not only allow you to properly care for your thujas, but also save money.
It turns out that the ideal fertilizer for these shrubs is water after boiling vegetables. During boiling, vegetables lose their nutrients, leaving them in the water, so it is worth pouring it into a watering can and watering the thujas with it. It is important that there are no spices in the water, as they can harm the plants.
Method for green thujas: nettle infusion.
In addition to vegetable water, you can also use nettles. Put them in a bucket, fill with water and leave for several weeks. Nettle water should be stirred once a day.
Fermentation should be complete within two weeks, as indicated by the absence of foaming of the fertilizer.
The resulting solution should be diluted with water in a ratio of 1:10 and used to water the thuja.
Homemade fertilizer prepared in this way can be used for 1.5 months, since after this time it loses its properties.
