5. Dandelion Manure

A walk in the countryside in perspective? Consider picking dandelions. Dandelion manure is an excellent booster for small growth in the garden. Plan a bag:you need 1 kilo of dandelion for 5 liters of water.

To prepare it, rinse your dandelions if they are full of soil. Put them in the bottom of a bucket. Pour the 5 liters of water. The ideal is to collect rainwater. Otherwise, let the water stand for 48 hours to reduce the action of chlorine. Cover your bucket. And wait a week or two! Stir daily until small bubbles emerge.

Remember to put the bucket away because the maceration gives off unpleasant odors. Then filter the manure and water plants and vegetables with it:make 3 normal waterings and 1 watering with manure. You can store it in dark bottles. Tomatoes and curcurbits love it!

6. Manure of marigolds

Same principle as dandelion manure. The proportions are identical and the maceration process is the same.
