After the apple trees have finished blooming, they need to be fed as needed.

A number of summer residents use an extract prepared from weeds for this purpose - fortunately, every gardener has plenty of this stuff.

Important: despite the fact that preparing a nutritional composition is very easy, do not forget that its value is primarily associated with the herbs included in its composition.

Nettle is considered the most useful, so you will have to work hard to get enough of it.

So, when you are done collecting the herbs, transfer them to any suitable container and fill the container with water.

In this form, the future fertilizer should stand for a week. About once a day, it is worth stirring the contents of the barrel (bucket).

After 7 days, drain the concentrate and dilute it with water in a ratio of 1 to 10. Now the extract can be used to water the trunk circle of apple trees.

By the way, don’t throw away the remaining green mass – use it as mulch in the garden and vegetable garden.
