To make the fertilizer, you need to fill a bucket with fresh nettles – about a third full.
Before this, the stems and leaves of the weed should be chopped up with a knife.
Next, manure goes into the container - just half a kilogram, and then water. It should reach the very top.
You can consider that all the difficulties are over: now all that remains is to infuse the solution in a bucket with a lid for 8 days.
Throughout this period, the solution must be stirred occasionally.
Before you begin applying the mixture to the cucumber beds, you need to additionally dilute it with water in a ratio of 1 to 10.
Each bush requires a liter of solution. Apply fertilizer once every two weeks, and you will certainly notice the result.
