If an inexperienced gardener finds coins in the garden beds, it may seem strange to him.

He will most likely immediately decide that this is about finding a treasure or incredible luck if such an item was found while digging up the garden beds.

But in reality, everything is much more prosaic.

Experienced gardeners can actually bury copper coins in the ground on purpose. This helps them fight a major problem on the plot – late blight.

As is known, plants can be sprayed with preparations containing copper to combat fungus.

But over time, the coins themselves release copper ions, which enter the soil and then the plants themselves.

As a result, the plantings become stronger and can fight fungus on their own.

But if you want to use this method, you need to understand that not every coin will do.

In addition, the process of extracting useful elements can take a long time.
