Gardeners often use various food waste as fertilizer, ranging from banana peels and other tropical fruits to potato peelings.

What many consider to be a quirk is considered an effective fertilizer and increases crop yields.

Let's talk about the benefits of potato fertilizer.

First of all, it costs absolutely nothing. Everyone has to buy potatoes one way or another. And the peelings are thrown away anyway.

Secondly, the fertilizer is good for berry bushes. The peel is buried under the bushes and is often recommended for use on black currants.

Thirdly, potato peelings do not necessarily have to be stored in a clean form. They can be dried in any convenient way and ground into flour, which can then be used for garden crops and indoor plants.

Fourthly, potato peelings or flour can simply be added to the soil when digging the beds in the spring.

The latter method, as gardeners who practice this agricultural technology claim, allows improving the quality indicators and structure of the soil.
