In order to get a decent harvest of vegetable crops, they need to be fertilized.
In pursuit of abundant fruiting, summer residents are ready to go to great lengths, and sometimes use completely unexpected compounds as fertilizer - for example, bird feathers from old pillows.
The advantage is obvious – such compositions (if, of course, you have unnecessary feather pillows in your home) will cost you absolutely nothing.
All you have to do is dig up the mounds and add bird feathers during spring or autumn digging of the beds.
For 1 “square” you will need no more than 100 g of feathers.
There is another option, which involves preparing an infusion of 3 glasses of feathers and 10 liters of water, the preparation time of which lasts 10 days.
All this time the infusion should be kept warm, after which it can be used to water the crops growing in the beds.
In disputes with those who are skeptical about using feathers in the garden, supporters of this method cite a weighty argument, calling the filling of the pillows a prolonged-release organic fertilizer that saturates the soil with nitrogen, silicon and sulfur.
