Why experienced gardeners do not throw away citrus peels: tricks that many do not know about
In winter, many people actively buy up various citrus fruits, since we need vitamins to protect ourselves from colds.
In addition, these products have a pleasant taste and can be used in the preparation of various dishes.
But we sometimes forget that the peel sometimes contains many times more vitamins and minerals than the fruit itself.
Why an experienced gardener will not dispose of citrus peels
Citrus peels have too rich a composition, notes Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, an agronomist and landscape designer.
Therefore, small crusts can simply be sent into the soil. The depth should be about five centimeters. This method is suitable for both the plot and home flowers. However, not only fresh food waste can be valuable.
If we first dry the citrus peels and then grind them into powder using a grinder, we will have the perfect natural fertilizer on hand.
At the beginning of the season, for example, such a composition can be used to enrich the soil during seasonal digging. In this case, only three spoons of the prepared fertilizer are spent per square meter of the plot.
