If you don’t have a compost pit, you can add some food waste directly to the soil.
But, naturally, not all products are suitable for this.
Today we will look at the most popular and effective natural fertilizers.
Coffee grounds
This product is saturated with nitrogen, which means it will help improve the condition of the soil. It is suitable as a fertilizer for indoor plants, as well as for lettuce, corn or onions.
In addition, it should be taken into account that the grounds help to drive away slugs and snails from the area.
Banana peel
A peel-based fertilizer for home and garden plants is suitable. You can prepare infusions from such waste, or you can simply put it next to the plants.
Experienced gardeners also note that the inner side of the skins can be rubbed onto plant leaves to improve their appearance and repel some pests.
Shell
Eggshells or nutshells can also be used as fertilizer and can also be used to loosen the soil.
