Surely in every family, potato-based dishes are served several times a week.

This means that you can prepare a huge amount of peel if you wish.

It's just that not everyone knows how to use this free component.

What options are available?

Currant

Many have heard about this trick: potato peels can work real miracles with currants. The berries grow healthy, large and sweet.

The crop yield also increases. The peel simply needs to be buried in the soil near the currant.

Mulching

This option is less common, although it has a number of its advantages. Potato mulch has good properties. In addition, you can stock up on the material in sufficient quantities.

Mulch and peels cope well with the issue of maintaining the proper level of moisture. However, it is always worth remembering: such mulch is sprinkled with soil.

Top dressing

Various infusions and decoctions are made from potato peels to care for crops in the country and even to care for indoor plants.
