Even weeds can be useful in the household if you know how to use them.
Based on cut weeds, you can prepare the so-called “fermentation” - fertilizer from fermented plants.
Let's figure out how this folk remedy is useful and how to prepare it.
Ingredients
It is believed that the best ingredient for "fermentation" is nettle. This plant is well fermented and contains nitrogen.
In this case, medicinal and poisonous plants cannot be used, since such a mixture can subsequently suppress agricultural crops. Plants that contain milky juice are also not suitable.
How to cook
The mixture is prepared as follows. Take any large container (ideally a barrel), which should be half filled with grass.
It is noted that green ingredients can be chopped, but this is not a mandatory condition. The main thing is not to tamp the greens.
Then water is poured into the barrel. The liquid level should not reach the edges of the container.
In order for the mixture to ferment, it must be covered with a lid and left in a warm place. As soon as the liquid stops fermenting, the solution is ready for use.
The prepared green fertilizer is diluted with water in a ratio of 1:10 and applied under the root.
