If you want to prepare a manure, you should Put 1 kg of the paddler into the bucket and pour 10 liters of water. We leave the container in the shade for about two weeks. Remember, however, that when there is a high temperature, fermentation occurs much faster. During this time, you should take care of daily mixing of slurry.
When it stops foaming, we strain it and dilute it in a 1:10 ratio with water. Plant residues can be thrown into the compost. We water our cucumbers every two weeks with a slurry prepared in this way. Thanks to this we will have abundant crops.
