Potato peelings are also used to prepare nutritional compositions for various root crops.

The best way is to dry the waste and grind it using a meat grinder. This is an excellent way to feed many vegetable crops.

Banana peels

Based on this product, you can prepare a lot of infusions to improve the harvest. Fruit peels can also be used as a simple and affordable means for enriching the soil.
