Proper waste disposal helps the planet - the less trash we leave behind, the cleaner the space around us we make.
But an experienced gardener knows that it is possible to improve not only the ecology of the planet, but also the fertility of the soil in the garden.
You probably already know that there are categories of fertilizers that consist entirely of organic components.
Let's turn to the recommendations of the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
What foods are best not to throw in the trash
Here are some options.
- Tea leaves. It can be used both as a fertilizer and for mulching.
- Coffee grounds. Also great for feeding plants that don't like acidic soils.
- Banana peel. You can dry it in the microwave, freeze it and take it to the garden in the spring.
- Orange peel. It is rich in potassium, phosphorus, sodium, flavonoids and pectins.
