The beneficial properties of the earthworm make it possible to treat with its help a wide variety of ailments - gout, rheumatism, hypertension and arthritis. The miraculous berries do not promise complete healing, but they will definitely help get rid of some unpleasant symptoms.
Growing and caring
The soil for growing earthworms must be prepared in the most careful way. For this purpose, it is fed in the form of organic and mineral fertilizers. You can prepare an excellent top dressing by mixing 5 kilograms of manure with 200 grams of ash, and then add 20 grams of ammonium nitrate and superphosphate to them. This is the calculation for every square meter of landings.
And the earthworm should be planted either closer to autumn, or in the spring. In this case, the second option is considered the most optimal. Growth points should not be too close to the soil surface, but not too far from it.
As a rule, the dugout forms rather lush bushes, so you should not plant it too close to each other. Ideally, the distance between the bushes should be about forty centimeters. Most often, the dugout is planted in two beds or on one, but in a checkerboard pattern. In this case, all the bushes must be well lit.
This culture needs careful maintenance. High-quality feeding is especially important for her. Without fail, fertilizers should be applied before and during flowering, as well as after the earthworm begins to bear fruit.
If the dugout is grown on bare ground, then with the onset of autumn it must be covered for the winter. And in the presence of snow, there is no need to worry about proper cover. By the way, spruce branches will be the best covering material for earthworms - it perfectly retains snow and heat.
A mustache is often formed on the dwarf, which must be systematically removed. By the way, you can propagate it with a mustache - it is not at all necessary to use only seeds for this. The most suitable for reproduction will be young antennae with rosettes, which already have three or more leaves. And this culture is very resistant to diseases, however, occasionally gray rot can form on it - this usually occurs in areas with high humidity.
