Many summer residents who are just beginning to master a new industry for themselves buy nutritional compositions mainly in specialized stores.
However, sometimes high-quality and effective fertilizers are right at our fingertips.
A pleasant bonus is that they can be used completely free of charge, notes Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert at the online publication BelNovosti, an agronomist and landscape designer.
What free fertilizers are worth knowing about
Potato peel
It can be simply dug into the soil - this will make the area incredibly fertile. This method is especially suitable for currants, which are beginning to give a luxurious harvest.
You can also make nutritional powders from dried potato peels. Don't forget about decoctions based on this component.
The advantage of potato peels is that any gardener can accumulate them in large quantities, because the vegetable is incredibly popular.
Potatoes will be appreciated as a fertilizer for indoor plants, garden and vegetable crops, and seedlings.
Tea with coffee
You probably treat yourself to wonderful drinks, so don't throw away the resulting waste recklessly. Tea and coffee can be safely sent to the compost pit, making it more nutritious and useful.
You can also make excellent fertilizers using coffee grounds and tea leaves.
Eggshell
This product should be prepared in larger quantities: its value for the garden and vegetable garden is difficult to overestimate. The shell can be ground to a powder and fed to crops at different stages of development. This makes them healthier and more powerful.
The shells can be dug into the garden to make the soil more fertile.
Also, don't forget that eggshell mulch will prevent slugs from "running the show" on your property.
