Gardeners are a category of people who can never calmly watch others throw away things and products that can still be used. For example, when pillows become completely old, most people will simply throw them away and buy new ones. But owners of their land plots, gardeners and summer residents will turn the filler into an effective fertilizer.
Pillow filler fertilizer
If we talk about modern pillows, then synthetic filler will not be useful on the site. It can be used to create various home crafts, after disinfecting it. But old grandmother's pillows, namely feathers, will be an excellent option for fertilizing the garden. Just mix them with another popular product for fertilizing, and then start fertilizing the soil.
Chicken feathers help increase the yield of bell peppers and cabbage, tomatoes and onion crops. That is why gardeners recommend making fertilizer from them. First, you need to grind the feathers, and then mix them with ash in a 1:1 ratio. Use the resulting mass when planting vegetables in the holes - 70-100 grams per 1 square meter will be enough.
In addition, many summer residents use chicken feathers in a different way on the garden bed. It can be added to the soil during spring digging of the plot. About 7 grams of feathers will be enough for 20 kilograms of land. It must be applied evenly, and then enjoy the result. The garden bed will become much softer, and the yield will double. Feathers can even replace expensive nitrogen fertilizers.
