In the first month of autumn, many people are actively engaged in their summer cottages, since the plot needs to be tidied up after the harvest and prepared for winter.

This will allow us to get an equally generous harvest next year.

However, sometimes summer residents choose very original methods of caring for the land, notes landscape designer and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti.

For example, some people bury banana peels and chicken eggshells in the soil.

Why do this?

Many people know that the chemical composition of these components is incredibly rich and valuable. In fact, it is for this reason that they are often used to prepare homemade natural fertilizers for garden crops and indoor plants.

In September there is a great opportunity to give the soil sufficient nutrition not only with the help of industrial compounds, humus or compost.

Banana peels and shells can be a great addition to them.

The components should be slightly crushed before being incorporated into the soil.
