How to use wheatgrass on the site “with benefit”

0

Wheatgrass quickly and densely takes over the possessions of summer residents, minimizing the results of their efforts and labor. The weed takes away nutrients from garden plants and literally “stuns” the plantings. However, experienced summer residents know one trick that has been used by more than one generation. That's why the method was nicknamed “grandfather's”.

How to get rid of wheatgrass

The point is to dig up the wheatgrass with a shovel in late autumn, turning it with the roots up (the roots should stick out from under the ground).

In winter, the roots and the above-ground part rot, which benefits the fertility of the soil. In spring, the ground is dug up again and plants are planted. The soil turns out to be loose and fertile.

Summer residents use wheatgrass itself as a top dressing for garden and horticultural crops. Wheatgrass leaves are suitable for this, which are torn before flowering. They are thrown into a 20-liter container and filled with water.

After two weeks, the top dressing is ready for use. But before use, each 0.5 l of the product is diluted with a bucket of water.

Pyrrhiza is also used to prepare complex humus with nettle, celandine, and other herbs that grow abundantly in many areas and are considered weeds.
