Probably everyone knows that walnuts are very useful. But few know that even their shells have useful properties.
Meanwhile, the shells are an excellent basis for nutritious fertilizer, which is suitable for both seedlings and young indoor plants.
Therefore, instead of throwing away the remains of eaten nuts, prepare a fertilizer from them, which helps strengthen the immunity of plants - as a result, the root system of seedlings will change for the better and they will survive transplantation more successfully.
Benefits of Nutshell Feed
The shell contains many different microelements. It also contains amino acids and tannins.
This unique composition makes it an excellent natural growth stimulant for young plants.
A nice bonus: walnut shells have antiseptic properties.
How to Make Nutshell Fertilizer
To make an effective fertilizer, collect the shells of 20 walnuts and clean them from dirt. Then place the shells in a saucepan and fill it with a liter of clean water.
Place the pan on the stove and bring the water to a boil. Cover the pan with a lid during the cooking process, which should last 20 minutes.
Once the decoction is ready, let it cool completely and then strain it.
Combine the resulting decoction with water in a ratio of one to two. The finished fertilizer can be used to water the plants at the root.
