The plant is suitable at the beginning of its growing season for both humans and small inhabitants of the farmstead - chickens, geese, ducks and rabbits. Thanks to the valuable nutrients that are contained in spinach, the egg-laying rate of hens increases.
Spinach Uteusha has in addition to its nutritional qualities another unique ability - to grow literally in front of eyes, like bamboo, though not reaching its height. In summer, when fertilized soil ( ammonium nitrate is sufficient), the plant rises to a height of two meters. This feature is well suited for those who hold cattle and are breeding pigs.
For the summer season, it is possible to mow twice the spinach crops and zasolosovat them for the winter for animals. Sensitive housewives have time to make blanks until the spinach is coarse, because it is suitable for cooking green borscht, soups , for making salads.
It is very useful for adults and children in the winter with a shortage of vitamins. To add it to food in the cold season, spinach is frozen, and after doing with it vegetables and casseroles.
