Many people are used to getting rid of potato peels right away. But it's better not to rush.
Yet even waste can be useful.
Potato peelings contain many substances that are necessary for different plants. They contain magnesium, iron, manganese, zinc.
Therefore, the peel is useful as a fertilizer for currants, raspberries, and strawberries.
This type of fertilizer is suitable for some ornamental plants.
According to the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , freezing will help to preserve the peel for a long time, so that later you can prepare a useful product on such a basis.
To do this, just 500 g of peel should be poured with 500 ml of boiling water.
Once the liquid has cooled, it needs to be strained. After that, you can proceed to watering.
It is enough to use this solution only once a month.
An alternative could be to use dried potato peels as a top dressing.
Previously, we talked about how else you can use potato peelings in everyday life.
