Florist warned about the risks of nitrogen fertilizers

"Instead of chemical nitrogen, use manure, compost, or humus, which already contains enough nitrogen." 

She also recommended making a green fertilizer: collect weeds, dandelions, nettles, and coltsfoot, chop in a bucket, and pour water. It must be no more than a third of the water. To minimize the odor, the expert suggested adding a banana peel.
