To have a sustainable garden , you don’t need to use chemical fertilizers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If they are not absolutely necessary, they can be replaced with natural and effective fertilizers such as nettle macerate .<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Advertising<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nettle macerate is a natural fertilizer and pesticide<\/strong> . You can make it with your own hands and save some money, it is organic and obviously natural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This nettle product contains salicylic and formic acid<\/strong> , which are effective against pests and insects and stimulate the soil for perfect cultivation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you think it might be right for you, just read below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before we go into details, we need to analyze the nettle<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n This spontaneously growing plant<\/strong> has emerald green leaves with serrated edges. It loves moist, nitrogen-rich soil and thrives in shady locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The plant is best<\/strong> known for its burning power. It contains mineral salts and vitamins <\/strong>A<\/strong> , C<\/strong> and K<\/strong> and also has a diuretic<\/strong> , purifying<\/strong> and antianemic<\/strong> effect .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Advertising<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nettle can be used as a perfect natural remedy for health and fitness. <\/strong>It can also be used by turning it into an infusion<\/strong> or into savory preparations<\/strong> and also, strange but true, in pasta<\/strong> .<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For all these reasons and more, it can also be a perfect natural pesticide<\/strong> to make with your own hands. In this way you can nourish your garden with nettle macerate and also stimulate plant growth<\/strong> thanks to the nitrogen, iron, vitamins and mineral salts .<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first thing you need to do to collect nettle is to wear gardening gloves,<\/strong> precisely because it is a stinging plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then you need to get a bucket<\/strong> , of course some water<\/strong> and the secateurs<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can then start extracting the nettle macerate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Place the nettles<\/strong> in a large container, such as a bucket or barrel, until it is completely full. I recommend not pressing the nettle plants. Then add the water to<\/strong> cover the nettles and then close the bucket<\/strong> with the lid. The dosage is: 10 liters of water 1 kg of nettles.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Let everything<\/strong> rest for about 3 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Advertising<\/p>\n\n\n\n After the specified time, open the bucket, carefully filter the mixture and then store it in a bottle with a dispenser<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n At this point the nettle macerate is ready. Now all you have to do is understand how to use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When the nettle macerate is ready, it must be diluted with water<\/strong> to fertilize the plants and flowers<\/strong> . In fact, it is necessary<\/strong> to prepare a mixture of 100 ml of macerate and 10 liters of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Instead, to keep ants<\/strong> away from your home, simply put the mixture in a spray bottle and spray it around windows and doors<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is also perfect as a compost container<\/strong> as it supports the decomposition process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To keep the plants growing lushly<\/strong> , simply water them every 2 weeks<\/strong> with this DIY product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Is the problem with your plants due to aphids or spider mites? Don’t worry, you can use some of the macerate and spray it neat. Just 12 hours after soaking the nettles,<\/strong> you don’t have to wait 15 days<\/p>\n\n\n\n Advertising<\/p>\n\n\n\n The nettle macerate can also<\/strong> be kept for a whole year. However, to do this you will have to add a little vinegar<\/strong> (about 2 to 3% compared to the liquid you have available) and place it in an airtight container in a cool<\/strong> but also not very frequented place, otherwise it could leak a bad one Odor<\/strong> . But this foul smell shouldn’t put you off, on the contrary, it’s a testament to its quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now all you have to do is get to work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Nettle macerate: how to prepare it and what it is used for To have a sustainable garden , you don’t need to use chemical fertilizers.
