Every amateur hobbyist, especially a beginner, wants to see his site in a magnificent color, with eye-pleasing eyes, weed beds, on which ripen cabbage cabbage, rows of juicy sweet carrots, liquid apples, currant bushes and raspberries with bent branches.
That the desire has turned to a reality, it is necessary to give plants necessary food. And they, like people, prefer natural food, of which the mullein is the number one fertilizer for popularity and efficiency.
No matter how much you want to get a huge harvest, you should know that the surplus in the diet is not welcome not only in people, but also in plants. If your vegetables and fruits overfeed mullein, then they will increase the content of nitrates, which is very harmful to the human digestive system. Also, the plant will begin to "fatten", that is, instead of forming fruit, grow a green mass. We will teach you how to fertilize properly with the mullein.
Why is the feeding of the mullein so successful?
- this is a natural and very effective fertilizer;
- relatively inexpensive, sometimes even free;
- perfectly assimilated by plants;
- not only feeds, but also helps in protection from plant diseases.
Fertilizer Mullein - application
Mullein contains a whole complex of elements necessary for plants: nitrogen, potassium, copper, iron, sulfur and others.
Mullein can be fresh and overbred.
Fresh mullein can be used:
- introducing directly into the soil before the autumn digging;
- in the form of a prepared infusion, for watering and spraying plants.
Reparted mullein can be used:
- for the autumn digging of the soil;
- for the spring digging of the soil;
- for mulching plants;
- for the preparation of infusion for irrigation and spraying of plants.
If the mullein got you fresh, then it should be remembered that oxidative processes are actively going on in it. If the plants are watered with a solution of fresh mullein, you can burn both leaves and roots. Spreading on the site of not reparted mullein, too, will not bring benefits. Unless you plant your garden with seeds of weeds, in the abundance of those in the dung.
How to cook mullein?
First, you select a container in which a nutritious cocktail for your plants will be prepared. The capacity is filled with fresh manure and water. One bucket of mullein should take five buckets of water. If you add wood ash from the calculation of 50 g of ash per 1 bucket of infusion, then your fertilizer will also be enriched with potassium. Every day you need to mix the contents. Mullein preparation takes about two weeks. During this time, the fermentation process will end in the tank.
How to breed Mullein?
So, you have prepared the infusion of mullein. Now you can start feeding. Usually, say the experienced gardeners, truck farmers, for the vast majority of plants Mullein should be diluted in a proportion of 1:10. But we remember that when they were preparing the infusion, they already added five buckets of water to the bucket of Mullein. So now to get a working solution, we just need to fill the floor with a watering can from the barrel and top up with water.
Watering mullein
Now let's figure out which plants need watering by a mullein, and how to do it better.
Very responsive to the mullein:
- cucumbers;
- cabbage;
- pumpkin;
- tomatoes;
- beet;
- salads;
- peppers .
25 days before the harvest, the feeding is stopped.
It is not advisable to feed mullein:
- radish;
- peas;
- radish;
- kohlrabi .
Watering with a solution of mullein is better to make on furrows and grooves, instead of to pour on plants from above.
Pay attention to the appearance of plants. If they are pale, they have thin stems, then it is necessary to feed them with mullein. Do not doubt one thing - the care shown on your part, the plants always respond with a plentiful harvest.
