Among the organic fertilizers, experts recommend choosing wood ash. In a container of 10 liters of water should be added 0.5 liters of ash.
Herbal infusion will be no less effective. Fill a container by a quarter with chopped weed grass and fill it with water. The solution should infuse at least a week. Then you should dilute the concentrate with water in the proportion 1:10.
