When watermelon season comes, no one can resist these delicious fruits, so they are eaten quite often.
The food product has not only excellent taste and the ability to quench thirst, but also a very extensive list of beneficial properties for the body.
That is why many people use watermelon to improve their health during the summer.
Not everyone uses the crusts in any way, considering them to be ordinary food waste. But an experienced gardener will not pass by such a "gift", says scientist agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti".
Why do experienced gardeners scatter watermelon rinds around their plots?
At first glance, it may seem like some kind of strange fertilizer, but it is not recommended to add anything to the soil.
As it turned out, everything is much more interesting and simpler.
The rinds of sweet and juicy watermelon are a real magnet for any pests. Therefore, it is worth scattering food waste throughout the entire area after sunset.
The rinds of one watermelon may be enough.
In the morning you will see an unpleasant picture: food waste will be practically covered with pests. The crusts will be collected and destroyed. And you will be able to forget about the pests.
