Let’s go for one
How to actually prepare beer fertilizer for your plants to enjoy? The best way to do this is to mix it ten to one with water. Above all, we should fertilize the roots. Do not pour beer on the leaves.

Against pests
Beer can also serve as a means against pests. You will need 50 grams of soap to dissolve in ten liters of water. Then add a liter of beer here. And you have spraying on the leaves.
Spring spraying with beer is especially suitable in spring, when the seedlings are still relatively weak. This will perfectly support their growth with beer fertilizer, but you will also protect them from pests by spraying. Plants are much more likely to take hold and are resistant to yellowing of leaves. Gooseberries will thank you for enough nutrients for faster fruit ripening.
Beer fertilizer is not suitable for the following types of vegetables: garlic, potatoes and onions. It is better to keep it for tomatoes and other crops.
