Many summer residents make a gross mistake: they throw away food waste that could be useful in their country house.
We are talking about those residues that can be used as fertilizers, as they are sources of microelements and compounds important for garden crops.
The advantage of such fertilizers over mineral fertilizers is their naturalness.
So what kind of waste should a gardener never get rid of?
Eggshell
The egg shell contains a lot of calcium, which is needed by almost all plants.
In addition, food waste is a source of a number of other useful elements: potassium, magnesium, iron.
Banana peel
The peel of this popular fruit is an excellent source of potassium and phosphorus.
An infusion prepared from banana residue helps to increase the yield of tomatoes, cucumbers, potatoes and many other garden crops.
Tea brewing
There is no need to throw away the mass that remains in the cup after drinking tea.
Used tea leaves can be safely made part of the compost. Do not forget that used tea contains a lot of nitrogen.
Coffee grounds
Using coffee residues as fertilizer will ensure that the soil receives sufficient amounts of potassium and phosphorus.
In addition, the grounds are a source of a bright aroma. This smell will provide garden crops with protection from harmful insects.
