Experienced gardeners say that to ensure a good harvest, onions should be fertilized. This can be done with an ordinary tree from the forest. These branches contain phytoncides and antiseptics. These components protect plants from pests and diseases and promote faster growth.

How to Prepare an Infusion of Pine Branches

First, collect fresh, young pine branches in the forest. At home, finely chop the branches, place them in a bucket, and cover them with hot water at a ratio of 1:5 — one kilogram of branches to five liters of water.

Leave the infusion to brew for 24 hours in a warm place. Strain the solution to remove all solid particles. You can water or spray your garden onions with this mixture. This is the best way to prevent diseases and pests.
