While you are uprooting nettles and dandelions, your garden is slowly dying.
These weeds are the only thing that will save the beds if late blight or aphids have already taken over the territory.
Nettles do not need to be burned: pour water over them (1 kg per 10 liters) and leave them in the sun for 3 days. Strain and spray tomatoes - this is a nuclear mixture against fungi.
Don't throw away dandelions: their roots secrete a substance that drives away nematodes. Grind the roots, pour boiling water over them and water the soil around the potatoes. In two days, the pests will disappear and the harvest will be clean.
But don't use flowering dandelions - their pollen will attract even more aphids. The secret is to pull the weeds before the yellow heads appear.
Agronomists don't like these methods because they are free.
Nettle infusion also increases the sugar content of strawberries - try it, and you will never buy store-bought berries again.
Nettles can be buried between rows of cabbage - this will scare away caterpillars.
Mix dandelion infusion with onion peel and pour it over carrots - the roots will grow smooth and sweet.
If the nettle liquid smells too strong, add a handful of soil - the smell will soften.
To combat ants, spread fresh nettle leaves around trees - the insects hate its sting.
And dandelion "tea" will save roses from aphids: spray the buds, and the pests will disappear in an hour. The main thing is not to pour the infusion under the root: it can burn young shoots.
