That just does not come up with gardeners on their sites in order to increase productivity and get environmentally friendly products. Five years ago, I heard that when planting peppers in the hole you need to add the chicken pen. But still not as not going to use this method.

Results pepper plant from chicken feather
Throughout the season, going through what will grow peppers. They develop well. Powerful bushes, higher and stronger than in previous years. I had something to compare, because I plant constantly the same grade: Gift of Moldova, Tenderness, Fortress.
Usually peppers I have never failed, gave a good harvest. But the results of planting peppers with chicken feather me shocked and even a little upset. Let me explain why.
Besides cooking lecho and salads I have pepper froze for the winter. Picked vegetables at 9-10 cm, cut the stalk, shake out the seeds, cups were obtained, which are then in the winter I was stuffed and cooked. This year I could not find any pepper, which could freeze.
They all turned out to be thick-walled and the size of 12-15 cm. This is how many toppings need to be zafarshirovat! The entire harvest went to salads, and much has been eaten fresh (well, it is very juicy!).
The main thing is not to overdo it! This is the third year of planting peppers with chicken pen. However, now some bushes leave without feeding pen for freezing. Not to harm the soil and not overbuilt its molybdenum, every year to change their place of pepper planting.
What plants can be planted with a chicken feather
Been reading on the Internet tips experienced gardeners, and the second year of the chicken pen used when planting tomatoes, cucumbers and cabbage. Just put in each well of a handful of feathers.
That year was not fruitful for cucumbers and neighbors complained that a little removed from the bush. And I could not get enough of their cucumbers - fruited well into autumn. A neighbor has thrown out all the tops of greenhouses, and I have green foliage in the summer, and cucumbers hang.
Good for chicken pen responds beets. After digging the beds, did the furrows, laid them pen and planted seedlings. Svokolka grown medium sized, but the whole flat.
I plan to continue to use this method of planting until the pen is. By the way, a small pen consumption. During these three years, I have even half of one pillows are not spent.
How to plant peppers with chicken feather
Three years ago, we went to waste two old feather pillows, and I thought about it. Why in vain to throw out something that can still benefit. When it was time to plant pepper seedlings to a permanent place, I dug up the flower bed, carefully loosen, but a deep hole do not.
From experience I know that deep well of pepper seedlings do not need, all placed under the root sink safely to the bottom of the well and the plant itself will not soon get to these deposits. The roots of the seedlings are small and pepper to the bottom of the hole, they will not get.
In deepening put a handful of ashes and well shed to ashes soaked into the ground. Water hole becomes deeper. Omit it a handful of chicken feather, slightly covered with earth and planting seedlings, compacting the ground at the base.
Again abundantly shed. After three days, every bush spill liquid from yeast barrel rate of 0.5 liters per plant.
