In the middle of summer the zucchini bushes have already spent a lot of strength on forming fruits. If right now you support the plants with proper feeding, they will continue to flower actively, form new ovaries and delight with a harvest almost until the autumn colds.

What infusion to prepare

For this you will need ordinary nettle.

Fill a bucket with fresh chopped nettle approximately two-thirds full. Top up with water to the edges and leave to infuse for 7–10 days. To make the process faster, it is desirable to mix the mass every day.

When the infusion darkens and stops foaming, it is ready for use.

How to apply correctly

Before watering dilute the infusion with clean water in the ratio 1:10.

Under each adult bush pour approximately 1 liter of ready solution. It is best to do this after ordinary watering or after rain, when the soil is already moist.

Such feeding is enough to carry out once every 10–14 days.

Why this infusion works

Nettle contains a lot of natural nitrogen, potassium, magnesium and microelements. Exactly these help the plant grow healthy leaves faster, support continuous flowering and promote the formation of new fruits.

If you regularly collect young zucchini and do not leave them to overgrow, and also combine this with such feeding, the bushes will remain productive for a long time.

A simple infusion from what grows almost on every plot often turns out to be much more useful than expensive fertilizers. The main thing is to use it in time and not exceed the recommended concentration.
