Nettle is mistakenly associated only as an expansive weed that can burn careless gardeners.The infamous plant contains many valuable nutrients, such as vitamins, amino acids, mineral s alts and microelements, supporting both humans after processing as well as other plants.
Nettle-based preparations can do wonders, especially in the garden. The ingredients contained in it will positively influence the development of ornamental plants, providing the food necessary for the production of abundant flowers, he althy shoots and leaves.
Nettle extract is a proven biostimulant for use in orchards, vegetable gardens and berries. By supporting the physiological processes of the plant, nettle fertilizer stimulates the growth and production of more crops, also improving their quality.
Nettle-based preparations can be used in several ways - primarily in the soil and as a spray, as an extract diluted in water.As an ecological spray, nettle extract effectively fights aphids, spider mites and fungal diseases.Unlike chemicals, this spraying does not harm plants and does not adversely affect its yield, so it is also recommended for preventive use.
Nettle manure preparation
An alternative way to use the beneficial properties of nettle is also to prepare slurry based on it.The fertilizer obtained in this way will strengthen the vitality of plants and resistance to diseases and stress factors, e.g. freezing or drying.It will enrich the soil with the most necessary nutrients - nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium and iron, at the same time accelerating the formation of humus.
Preparation of nettle slurry is time-consuming and quite problematic. The process takes several weeks, and all the time there is a very unpleasant smell around the container in which the nettles decompose. Manure preparation is possible only on plots or in large gardens.
Fortunately, in good gardening shops you can find ready-made preparations based on nettle, such as Bio Nettle Comprehensive Protection against Pests and Diseases or Nettle Bio Growth Stimulator.They are equally effective and fully ecologically protect our plants and encourage them to lush growth and development.
