At the end of December and the beginning of January, all summer residents should collect the peel of these small citrus fruits.

Mandarin peel as fertilizer

In spring, the dried crust can be turned into powder. This product can be sprinkled into holes when planting potatoes and tomatoes.

Or you can simply bury dried tangerine peels under various crops at a depth of 5 cm. Thanks to this, the flora will receive potassium and phosphorus components.

A product for increasing the winter hardiness of plants

Prepare an infusion from the barks. Filter the resulting liquid and water the plants at the roots.

As a result, the winter hardiness of crops will increase.

Pest control agent

If you dilute the prepared infusion with a similar volume of plain water, you will get a remedy against dangerous insects.

Simply pour drops of the resulting liquid onto vulnerable plants.
