Fertilizing will increase the harvest of nettle
Natural fertilization of nettle - unique folk remedy. I use it on my garden for several years. It is universal, virtually free and naturally! The infusion of nettle contains many nutrients that will increase the number and quality of the crop, will fit healthy and fragrant!
Evidence of nettle use
In order not to be unfounded, explain what nettles so good for planting in the garden. The chemical composition of the burning of grass are present:
calcium - 37%;
potassium - 34%;
magnesium - 6%;
iron - 0.3%;
trace elements (manganese, copper, zinc, etc.).
Vitamin K1, is involved in plant photosynthesis.
All these substances are necessary for the successful development of any plant. For example, potassium is important in the formation of ovaries and maturing of fruits, makes delicious harvest. Fertilizing strengthens root landing system, making them more resistant to adverse weather conditions, diseases and pests. I think it is the way :) And even nettle infusion can be considered as an organic fertilizer: it makes the soil more fertile!
For any useful plants dressing?
Almost all vegetable crops, as it is universal. I water the nettle infusion cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage, peppers, berries. By the way, this is an excellent way to fertilize strawberries during the flowering and fruiting - berries are larger and sweeter. Similarly, green manure of nettle affect the tomatoes that when ripe in urgent need of potassium (as we remember that it is they are rich and burning leaves and stems).

How to prepare and use
Choose a time when the nettles have not yet bloomed. After flowering the concentration of mineral micro and macro elements in her green decreases. The efficiency of feeding is reduced, but still the result of fertilizer will give itself felt. If it is important for you to fertilizing turned clean, choose a meeting place away from roads and industries. I just collect nettles behind a shed in the garden - the benefit of this stuff in bulk!
Then he should stick to the plan:
- Grind nettle (but you can take it easy), fractures each plant on 3-4 pieces.
- Put preform into a wooden or plastic container. I previously used a metal barrel, but later learned that the metal reacts and neutralizes part of the mineral substances. Nettles should occupy 1/3 of the volume.
- Pour warm water. To the edge is recommended to leave approximately 5-10 cm, since the liquid will expand in volume. I also advise you to cover with gauze container, so that it did not fly curious insects - they are!
- Leave on for 2 weeks. If the barrel is standing on the sun, it will be enough of the week. Periodically stir the liquid of the slurry to the gases. Then the fermentation process is finished.
By the way, beat off an unpleasant odor can be quite simple: add a handful of ashes.
The use of nettle dressing
There are 2 ways to use the garden krapivnuyu dressing:
- Spray the plants (it needs to be diluted with an infusion in proportion 1:20). Use this "air" can treat 1 time per month.
- Watering at the roots - the most simple and effective method. Actually, personally I use it! Also breed infusion nettle water (1:20). Pour first plain water beds, and then - fertilizer. Use krapivnuyu dressing can each week.
