Currants are the main source of beneficial vitamins for the body.
The berry is rightfully considered a storehouse of useful substances and can compete with vitamins from the pharmacy. In addition, it is very juicy and tasty.
Gardeners enjoy growing currants and use natural fertilizers to achieve maximum yield. Potato peelings will help with this.
Potato peelings: benefits
Potatoes contain a large amount of starch, glucose, potassium, phosphorus, iron and other useful microelements.
Many summer residents throw away potato peelings, not even suspecting what a valuable fertilizer they are.
There is no need to get rid of potato peelings. Potato peels will bring a number of benefits to currants:
- the bush will grow quickly;
- Starch will increase soil fertility.
Potato peelings as fertilizer
Fertilizer from potato peels will bring maximum benefit to currants if you prepare such a top dressing.
Place the potato peels in a container, fill with hot water and let stand for 2-3 days.
The finished infusion is poured into a bucket and you can water the currants in the area where the roots of the bush are located.
After applying the fertilizer, you must immediately pour in about 10 more liters of warm water so that the nutrients are absorbed faster.
