If you like to spend your leisure time in front of the TV in the company of sunflower seeds, do not rush to send the husks to the trash can.
Details
Since the basis of the husk is cellulose, the product can be used as a valuable mulch capable of enriching the soil with nutrients.
If you decide to mulch the beds with husks, remember that it gradually extracts nitrogen from the soil. In this regard, it is better to use such mulch in the company of manure.
Before covering the beds with husks from sunflower seeds, do not forget to water them well.
Such shelter is optimal for crops such as cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage, carrots, eggplants and beets.
In addition to the fact that the husk prevents the evaporation of moisture, no weeds can penetrate through the thick layer of the husk.
In addition, you can be sure that your plantings are reliably protected from slugs. Arthropod pests simply will not be able to move through the soil sprinkled with husk.
And in order to get rid of the main disadvantage of the husk - mobility, which is why some summer residents do not like to use it in the garden, it is enough to cover it with a layer of straw on top.
