With the onset of spring, weeds begin to intensify rapidly, and light breezes and sunlight help them to grow at twice the rate. In May, dandelions begin to please. Many people, wanting to get rid of them, uproot these flowers and throw them away. But it is better to prepare fertilizer for plants on their basis.

Plants, thanks to watering with dandelion infusion, become stronger, healthier, and juicier. And actually top-dressing does not demand any expenses for preparation. It is enough to collect dandelions, put them in a container (it can be a bucket or barrel), then fill completely with warm water and cover with a lid. Dandelions should not be compacted. You can add nettles or fresh grass to them.
The container with dandelions must be stored in a dark place so that it is not exposed to direct sunlight. It will be enough to put it in the shade. You should open the lid daily and mix the contents. It will be enough once a day.
After a few days, the tank will start to leave a not very pleasant smell – this is the process of fermentation. Infuse the flowers until the liquid becomes clear and the smell disappears. Next, the infusion should be filtered and diluted with water in a ratio of 1 to 10. You can pour both garden and vegetable garden.
Used dandelions should not be thrown away. They can then be used as mulch – to cover the soil around the trees and shrubs with plants. Dandelions rot and give additional nutrition to fruit plants.
