Option one

The easiest way to turn crusts into fertilizer is to compost them. You can also add fresh bread, but this is clearly a waste.

However, gardeners unanimously insist that this is the easiest way to increase the production of natural fertilizer.

Second option

Another simple way is to bury bread scraps in the garden. After they have completely rotted, the soil will contain useful substances that will benefit the plants.

Third option

Most often, summer residents prepare nutritious infusions. There are different recipes, but basically bread is soaked in water and infused for several days in a warm place.

Later used for irrigation or as a base for other fertilizers.
