Mustard cake
The advantages of organic substances are that it does not contribute to the accumulation of nitrates, pesticides and other harmful compounds in fruits and vegetables. But, unfortunately, a large number of types of organic matter give the effect quickly. So, if you put mustard plasters on the site, it will improve the soil within 2-3 years. Mustard is a green manure, that is, it is sown to improve soil fertility and limit the growth of weeds. She collects useful items from the depths of the earth and repels parasites.
And dishes made from it have better nutritional value than cow dung and vermicompost. There are elements that repel harmful insects, mice, rats, and prevent plant diseases. And it acts on Earth much more than mustard is grown.

The fertilizer contains a full range of nutrients in an optimal combination for plants, including nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. All elements are in organic form, which contributes to their smooth mineralization and uniform nutrition of plants, preventing, first of all, vegetable crops from accumulating nitrates. Natural origin guarantees the absence of heavy metals, radionuclides, and hazardous chemical compounds harmful to humans. In terms of the complex content of nutrients and organic matter, mustard cake is more than 10 times better than rotted manure, and 5 times better than vermicompost.
Description
Sarepta mustard is grown in order with its seeds extracting oil with nutritional and antibacterial properties. A small amount of essential oil in the leaves, stems, this mustard plant is planted as green manure.
Mustard contains: carotene, niacin, pyridoxine, thiamine, phylloquinone, iron, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus. It also includes saturated, monounsaturated, polyunsaturated and trans fats.
Mustard is an excellent spice to add to meat, fish, and vegetables. It is also used in medicine for colds, put mustard plasters in water with mustard, you can steam your feet. Mustard helps get rid of grease on dishes. And mustard seeds and oil are added to canned food.
Mustard helps improve appetite and increases the secretion of gastric juice, which leads to normalization of digestion processes.
But a large number of harmful plants and insects do not like mustard. Therefore, it is used by those who are against the use of chemicals - fungicides - on the site, and choose organic ones, so they grow environmentally friendly vegetables and fruits.
Cake is the remains of mustard seeds after pressing the oil. When the seeds are crushed and pressed, the oil contains the most useful elements, fatty acids, essential oils, and glycosides. But still some part of these substances is present in the cake. This is a product that contains fiber, proteins, and mineral elements. It is added to food and fed to domestic animals.
In agriculture, cake is used, which is dried and crushed until smooth. This mass is obtained after cold pressing. If the oil is hot pressed, then chemicals are poured into the mustard seeds and if they get into the ground, it can harm the plants.
Mustard cake use in the garden
Now the cake is sold as a substance that increases the fertility of the earth, enriching it.
But can you believe it?
Mustard oil has properties that kill bacteria as it contains phytoncides. And after extraction, these substances remain in the cake. When the cake is made in the ground, it destroys disease-causing organisms such as bacteria, which leads to rot; fungi that cause late blight and fusarium - a common disease of tomato and potato bushes, cucumbers, and bell peppers.
Substances left in the cake to repel pests:
- in wireworms;
- Colorado potato beetle;
- nematodes;
- onion and carrot fly;
- moth and its larvae.
The cake is crushed, poured into the soil, and it destroys the wireworm in 9 days. And the fly larvae die after 7 days.
Because of this, it is very useful to use cake in gardening and gardening, where the soil can accumulate a large number of pathogens, fungi, pathogenic microorganisms, and parasite larvae. But this organic matter does not destroy beneficial insects, plants, or earthworms.
Destruction of pests such as wireworms and mole crickets
Pour the cake into 1 tbsp. spoons with the top out of the pit before planting potatoes, tomatoes, eggplants, peppers and other plants, these crops are attacked by pests - mole crickets, wireworms. Then they poured soil there, and then planted potatoes, tomato seedlings. This is done in the roots of potatoes and other crops without contact with the cake.
Remove onion and carrot flies
When sowing carrots, beets, planting onions, garlic, pour 1 tbsp. spoons with the top of the cake (40-60 g) per 1 m2. Then sprinkle the soil and sow the seeds.
Prevention to prevent root rot
Pour the cake into 1 tbsp. without top (30-40 g) in holes when sowing seeds or planting seedlings of cucumbers, zucchini, zucchini.
Destruction of sucking insects and chewing leaves
Spread a thin layer onto the cake layer onto the soil around the plant. The sun evaporates mustard essential oil from it, the smell repels pests.
Feedback about use
Irina, 58 years old
“I decided to try mustard cake this year on a small strip of potatoes. The experimental bed sprouted in the same time frame as the usual ones. In general, everything developed according to the standard. I only noticed the result when I started digging up the potatoes.
Previously, I often came across potatoes gnawed by mice and affected by wireworms, but this year everything was clean and perfect. No signs of damage! The cake really effectively repels pests, let’s see how the applied mass will work as a fertilizer next year.”
Tatyana, 42 years old
“I’m a little disappointed, either with the miracle remedy, or with my own carelessness. I bought a liter bag of cake and scattered it around the fruit bushes, and decided to mulch the cucumbers with the rest - they grew for about three weeks, and then suddenly withered.
Now I understand that there was no need to sprinkle a strong product on the beds with a crop that has shallow roots, since it simply burned my cucumbers. Currants and gooseberries responded normally to the new mulch.”
Vladimir, 53 years old
“Last fall I scattered mustard cake on the beds according to the instructions, in the spring I slightly loosened them with a pitchfork and started planting my standard crops.
The plants really grew powerful, the root crops began to fill up on time and eventually took shape into worthy fruits. I didn’t notice any signs of damage by specific flies on onions and carrots, so I’m happy with the cake.”
Mustard cake is a fairly effective means of repelling pests and fighting fungi and bacteria; in addition, it provides garden and garden plants with important microelements.
But when using the product, you should strictly follow the dosages recommended by the manufacturer so as not to harm the crops growing on your site.

Use of cake as fertilizer
Mustard seed cake is the remains of vegetation, which has a large number of beneficial properties. But they recognize the culture only after their transformation into minerals, that is, after recording or after eating quail.
Any organic substance can be transported for any period of time, unlike minerals, which will take effect immediately after application. The cake will take about 3 months to ship. It contains 30% phosphorus and 15% potassium, but these substances are absorbed by plants only per year. That same year, mustard cake:
- improve the structure of dense, compressed soil and its quality;
- will lie as mulch, therefore it will protect the Earth from excessive evaporation of water and from the germination of weeds;
- reduce the number of pathogenic fungi and harmful insects.
The cake consists of natural ingredients. It has no negative effects on soil or plants, regardless of the dose used. It is best to use 0.1-1 kg per 1 m2. Easy to use cake. Written on the hand packaging, which states the recommended dosages for each plant.
Types of fertilizers
Mineral fertilizers are convenient because they contain in concentrated form the substances needed by the plant at different periods of development. But along with the beneficial ones, various harmful substances and their compounds enter the soil. The acidity level increases. All this leads to the death of worms, beneficial microorganisms that improve the structure of the soil.
Organic fertilizers do not have these disadvantages. They have a positive effect not only on the chemical composition, but also on the physical properties of the soil. Most of them contain the entire range of chemical elements, vitamins, and microelements necessary for plants.
Organic fertilizers change their activity depending on weather conditions. In cold weather they slow down their action, in warm weather they begin to work actively. They act gradually, and not simultaneously, like mineral ones. Organic fertilizers do not destroy worms, which improve soil quality, and promote the active activity of beneficial microorganisms. The soil becomes loose, allowing plants to receive more air and retain water. Organic fertilizers break down minerals so they can be absorbed by plants.
Nowadays, vegetable growers use a wide range of organic fertilizers, including well-known ones, such as humus, and new ones, which began to be used relatively recently.
Benefits of the cake
Mustard cake in an amount of 10 kg is equal in nutritional value to 1 m3 of mullein. The cake has a number of advantages:
- no weed seeds, helminth eggs, pathogenic bacteria and viruses;
- when it is used, nitrates and heavy metals do not accumulate in products;
- it promotes the movement of nutrients from the lower layers of the earth to the surface;
- after it affects the land and culture for several years;
- after use as mulch, it stops the growth of weeds;
- increases the amount of harvested crop;
- protects the Earth from erosion;
- has phytosanitary properties;
- It is very easy to carry or carry;
- repels mice, rats, ants;
- there are many more years in the package;
- cheap.
When food cannot be applied
But the cake cannot be used on land that has acidic properties, as it gives acidity to the soil, as well as on swampy soils.
You cannot put non-degradable bio-fertilizer on the plot where you plan to plant cruciferous plants this year: cabbage, cauliflower and other types of cabbage, pomegranates, radishes, radishes, turnips, rutabaga. Because mustard is a cruciferous plant, so it can get diseases that are transmitted by cruciferous plants.
Enriching the soil and improving the quality of tubers and root crops
Mix the cake with natural fertilizers. Therefore, by mixing it with ash, you will get an excellent fertilizer that will also repel pests of potato tubers and carrot roots.
If you mix 1 part cake and part 1 Fitosporin, when entering the ground, the composition protects plants from root rot, improves the composition of the soil, the collected roots will be better stored.
Cleaning potato fields
If your site has heavy soils, poor in nutrients, and wireworms live in it, try planting one row of potatoes using classical technology, and another row of cake filling. Trouble in boxes of 1 tbsp. a spoon for a cake, 1 kg of this substance is enough for a bucket of potatoes.
You will see in the summer that the number of Colorado potato beetles and potato wireworms where you applied biofertilizer. The bushes are more lush, they began to bloom early. After digging up the crop, you will see that the tubers are larger, cleaner, and do not have scabs. Along with food, weeds will practically not grow, it loosens the soil.
