Potatoes as fertilizer for currants. Simple rules for using potato peelings as fertilizer in the garden

Probably, there is not a single site on which there would be no currants: black, white, red or pink. And she usually does well in any area. As for the differences between the types of currants themselves, they are small: red and white, as well as pink currants (this is a type of red) are more sun-loving and like to grow in higher places, and black currant grows normally in lowlands, loves slopes very much, and in partial shade, its berries will be even larger.

To taste, white and pink currants are the sweetest, followed by black, and red currants traditionally have the most sour taste. By the way, this acid is special and has bactericidal properties. Therefore, it is possible in red currant juice.

Black currant The proximity of groundwater, the composition of the soil is not decisive for the currant, although, of course, it prefers loam and loose, fertilized soil best of all. Currant seedlings are planted in the same way as tree seedlings, and they do it in spring or early autumn. Contrary to popular belief, currant bushes can be successfully transplanted even all year round, in some cases this improves their yield, only when transplanting, cut the plant significantly. If the bush is very old, cut it off completely, so you will rejuvenate it.

Correct farming practices immediately affect the size, flavor and quantity of berries. Mulching the soil between the bushes is of great importance for currants, but do not make the mistake - do not start doing this in early spring, let the earth warm up properly. - and you will be guaranteed with the harvest. Currant loves frequent and abundant watering, organic feeding. You cannot dig up the earth under the bushes - just loosen it carefully.

White currant is pouring hot water over bushes in early spring, before bud break, usually it is done in the snow. But during this period it can be difficult to approach the bushes, and moreover, they may be partially covered with snow. Therefore, you will get the same result if you hold this "action" at the end of November. For currant bushes, it would be good to make wooden or metal fences so that branches with ripening berries do not lean towards the ground.

By and large, the taste of currants depends on the variety, but these are always berries with varying degrees of acidity. There are a limited number of truly sweet blackcurrant varieties. But there is a way to help make the berries sweeter.

Red currants This is a starch feeding, currants are extremely sensitive to starch. Moreover, ordinary powdered starch from the store will not work here - this form is practically indigestible for currants. Potato peels can be used successfully, but this is not the best option, since even fine peels can germinate, but currants may not benefit. Then you have to weed out the potatoes from under the berry bushes.

therefore the best option is a special "grain" fertilizer.

It is prepared in the most ordinary barrel for watering, the cooking process goes on by itself, without our participation - you just need to pour some water into the barrel and put nettle greens, dreamy and pieces of stale bread there for a certain period of time. Bread should prevail, the proportion is approximately as follows: 70% bread and 30% green mass. The same potato peelings can also be added there. To speed up the process and there was no smell, tie the barrel with oilcloth, like a "lid". In about three weeks, you will have a wonderful fertilizer ready to use. If necessary, you can make another portion.

With this fertilization, the berries will turn out to be larger than usual and much sweeter, even in red currants, not to mention black ones. It is enough to fertilize berry bushes with them 2-3 times. The first time - when the ovaries are already large, the second time - when the berries begin to ripen, and the third time - shortly before harvesting. By the way, "grain fertilizer" is suitable not only for currants, but also for fertilizing vegetables - it increases the yield. And also - for the autumn "filling" of the soil - in this case, just pour the contents of the barrels evenly over all the beds.

My currants are larger than grapes About 15 years ago, black currants did not spoil me with a harvest. I purchased random varieties from gardeners I knew, but they were affected by viral diseases, kidney mites, and suffered from powdery mildew. No drugs helped. I collected a liter jar of berries from a bush. But then new super-large-fruited varieties appeared: first Selechenskaya, Perun, and then - Exotica, Yadrenaya. They require very interesting agricultural technology, otherwise you will not see large berries. I decided to do it simply: increased the dose of organic and mineral fertilizers. But I soon realized that this was a dead-end path. Excess manure leads to rapid growth of annual stems. And, overfeeding plants with mineral fertilizers, you suppress the soil flora, destroy earthworms. Therefore, I decided to develop a soil-friendly method of ecological farming. I have already had a positive experience of using the Agrovit-Kor biofertilizer and the nitrogen-free, micronutrient-rich fertilizer AVA. But now the drug Baikal-EM has appeared on sale, it contains up to 80 types of microorganisms useful for the soil. I decided to experiment with it. 3 years ago I have collected a collection of large-fruited new products of black currant. I planted annual seedlings on the experimental site. For comparison, I purchased varieties from various breeding centers: Exotic from Oryol, Zelenaya hazy from Michurinsk. Early, Slavyanka, Romance from Sverdlovsk, Yadrenaya, Sibbila, Pygmy from the South Urals, Valovaya, Tatyana's day, seedling No. 147 from Moscow. I did not apply either mineral or organic fertilizers to the planting pits. I decided to use only organic food, balanced in terms of the content of various nutrients. How to prepare compost correctly? Previously, like everyone else, I kept the compost heap for several years, or warmed it up by frequent shoveling with the introduction of chicken droppings. And now he began to silage manure. I do it like this. Starting from winter, I collect fresh rabbit and sheep manure in a plastic bag. I add AVA fertilizer to the bucket and water it with Baikal-EM. Then I make a sweet sourdough. I collect waste - bread, carrots, beets, moldy preserves, remnants of fruit from compotes - anything that can ferment. I put it in a bucket with a tight lid, dilute it with water, add Baikal-EM and store it in a warm place. After a week, kvass or mash is formed. With this leaven, I slightly moisten the manure. Tightly so that less air penetrates, I close the bags. I put them in a warm place for 1-1.5 months: in the winter - in the basement, and in the summer I take them outside. The manure is being silaged. And after a month, it smells nice of silage, and not what usual. Such manure is an excellent top dressing. It is good for soil flora and earthworms. Both in the past and this year, I mulched black currants with this compost 3 times with a layer of 3-5 cm: first, then at the end of May and in mid-June. Usually, after winter frosts, the soil flora dies. Plants need nitrogen in May, during the stormy growing season. By the beginning of summer, the earth begins to slowly revive. For me, after making such a compost, she began to breathe immediately in early May. And the plants started growing a week earlier. And in the summer, earthworms crawled from all sides, and in July there was nothing left of the mulch. Last year, the growth of annual shoots has noticeably increased. The varieties Exotica, Slavyanka and Valovaya have grown especially. This year, 3-year-old bushes bloomed unusually violently, and the fruits were set at 100% (there were no severe frosts). And, despite the growing season, there were no diseases. Having taken care of the roots, I was not afraid to use plant growth stimulants. During the flowering period I sprayed the currants with the preparation "Ovyaz", and after light frosts - with Epin. At the end of May, I treated it with Humate with trace elements. Then, twice a season - with the drug Baikal EM-5 with the addition of immunocytophyte to protect against pests and diseases. I have not seen such a rapid filling of berries in 50 years of my gardening activity. Some brushes looked more like grapes than currants. It's even difficult to say which variety turned out to be better, everyone fully revealed their capabilities. The hybrid 147 matured earlier than others, at this time the strawberries were still turning red in the beds. Slavyanka and Rhapsody ripened later than others, but their berries turned out to be the sweetest. Exotics and Valovaya gave the most abundant harvest, and the Finnish variety Nora did not lag behind. And Yadrenaya, Sibbila, Pygmy and Romantica struck with the size of their berries.

Potato dishes most often appear on our tables. This means that a lot of potato peelings remain, even if you peel the tubers carefully, with a minimum level of waste. But after all, it is in the peel and right under it that the largest amount of vitamins and nutrients is concentrated. This is a great reason to benefit from potato peelings and use them as fertilizer for your vegetable garden, for example.

Potato peelings are a good fertilizer for the garden

If you live in a private house or are the owner of a summer cottage, then you are surely sending potato peelings to a compost pit. And what about the residents of city apartments who are chosen to the dacha only during the season? Throwing cleaners in the trash can is not the best option. You can easily store them until spring by drying or freezing them.

Don't throw away potato peels, they will make free natural fertilizer

Potato peelings are great for you... They will become a good fertilizer for many plants, environmentally friendly, and most importantly - free. Most often, it is enough to simply bury them in the ground so that they release useful substances to the soil during decomposition. But cleaners can help you with "topical" pest control as well.

Benefits for various plants

First of all, it is worth noting that fertilization and feeding from cleanings is categorically unsuitable for plants of the Solanaceae family, such as:

• tomatoes;
• potatoes;
• chilli pepper;
• eggplant;
• nightshade;
• physalis;
• tobacco.

These plants are related, therefore, firstly, the substances and microelements contained in the purifications will be simply useless for them, and secondly, they have common diseases. Such feeding can lead to infection with late blight and black scab.

Note! Heat treatment disinfects potato peelings, killing late blight pathogens and scab. Therefore, if you dried the cleaning in the oven at high temperatures or filled it with boiling water for infusion, the fertilizer will not harm the plants.

But other plants will be very happy with such feeding in any form:

Rules for the procurement of raw materials and the nuances of preparing the infusion

If you have an open balcony, you can freeze the cleaners on it as they appear in small portions. With this method, all vitamins and valuable substances are preserved. However, there is one drawback. As soon as the temperature rises, the cleaners will begin to thaw and rot, which means they smell unpleasant. It is unlikely that you will be able to store them in the freezer, since there are other foods in it. Therefore, you will have to immediately go to the country and use the cleaning as intended as soon as possible.

You can apply the second method - dry cleaning. Although it is more difficult in the process, it is much more convenient in terms of storing the finished product. Dry the cleaners by spreading them evenly on a radiator or windowsill. You can use the oven to speed up the drying process. Enough 2-3 hours at 140 degrees for each batch of cleaning. After drying, you can store them in linen bags, which is very convenient.

If you want to achieve a greater effect, twist the dried in the oven or on the cleaning battery in a meat grinder and then dry again. This will give you potato flour that decomposes in the soil much faster than whole peels.

Put the prepared cleanings in a barrel and pour boiling water over them to get a nutritious infusion

In spring, the collected potato peelings, previously dried or frozen, put in a large container, for example, in a barrel, and pour boiling water. Leave to soak for a day, stirring occasionally. As a result, you will receive a solution and gruel, which contain vitamins, minerals, salts and starch necessary for many plants.

Table: principle of applying top dressing from potato peelings

goal	Way
Application for seedlings	Seedlings of any crops, except solanaceous crops, take potato gruel well when planted in the ground. Pour 1 scoop of gruel into the bottom of the finished hole, sprinkle with soil and plant the seedlings.
Plant feeding	Strain the infusion of potato peels, water the plants under the root with the remaining liquid with a small amount of thickening. Such feeding is equivalent to organic fertilizers. Do it every 2 weeks.
For indoor flowers	Water the houseplants with a solution of dried peelings ground into flour at least once a month. Also, when transplanting, you can put a small amount of thickening from the solution into the pot.
For garden flowers	When planting annuals or replanting perennial flowers, add gruel from the infusion (1 scoop) into the holes for each flower. During the period of growth and flowering, water the flowers with a watering can once a month.
For fruit trees and shrubs	You can simply bury whole dried cleanings in the soil in the trunk circle.

Video on using potato peelings as fertilizer

Fertilizers from potato peelings were already known to our grandmothers, now they are gaining popularity again. The material is affordable, environmentally friendly and easy to process and use, perfect for both pumpkin plants and black and red currants. Good harvests to you!

Red and black currants are a favorite berry of the inhabitants of the northern regions of Russia. Currant berries can be eaten fresh, you can cook fruit drinks and compotes, make jam, use as a filling for pies and pancakes. Currants grow well in harsh conditions, however, such an unpretentious plant should be periodically provided with additional nutrition. Experienced gardeners consider potato peelings to be one of the most effective fertilizers for this crop.

Properties

Potato skins are rich in starch, glucose, potassium, magnesium, iron, fluorine and other useful elements. Their quantity can even compete with some commercial mixtures for plant fertilizers. Almost any crops can be fed with purifications, but currants respond especially well to this fertilizer. Consider the main benefits of potato skins feeding.

• Decomposed cleaners provide the soil with substances that are required for the active growth of the shrub.
• Not only does the fertility of the land increase, but also its structure improves. The decomposed peel makes the soil loose and light, therefore, this fertilizer is often used for silty, clay and peat soils.
• This is an absolutely safe top dressing. It is non-toxic, unlike purchased chemical mixtures, so the gardener may not worry about his health, as well as about the development of currants.
• Potato skins begin to affect the plant quickly. This is an organic fertilizer that is processed by bacteria in the soil, and then, in the shortest possible time, transfers all its beneficial properties to the root system.
• Unlike other natural remedies, potato skins do not affect the increased growth of nearby growing weeds.
• This top dressing can be applied at all stages of plant development, as well as used not only for currants, but also for other crops.
• It is not only an effective fertilizer, but also an excellent protection against insect pests.
• This is a more than economical fertilization option. It is known that after peeling potatoes, most people send their waste to the trash can. However, a responsible summer resident will not throw out such a valuable fertilizer for currants, saving on the purchase of an expensive chemical mixture.

How to prepare fertilizer?

Thanks to such a simple and cheap (and in fact, free!) Fertilizer like potato husks, the gardener gets a good harvest. Large, healthy and very sweet berries appear on a well-fed shrub. But at the same time, you should follow the simple rules for preparing fertilizer.

The easiest way is to bury the cleaners under the barrel. However, this method will not work in the case of currants. The fact is that this culture has a superficial root system, and therefore buried potato skins can harm young roots.

The preparation of potato peels also requires special rules, because it is important to keep them until spring. The main stages of preparation are given below.

• Thoroughly rinse cut waste in running water.
• Next, we place them in a weak solution of potassium permanganate. This product will treat the skins from the fungus that often attacks potato skins.
• We spread the washed crusts in one layer on paper and leave them in a dry, ventilated room.
• If quick drying is required, it is recommended to pre-cut the peel into small pieces.
• When the husk is dry, fold it into paper bags. In such containers, it will remain until spring.

It is allowed to dry potato waste on a battery or even in an oven at a temperature not exceeding 100 degrees, but in the latter case, it is recommended not to completely close the oven so that there is access to oxygen, and the skins themselves should be on parchment. The crusts will dry completely in the oven after 3-4 hours.

A microwave oven is also suitable for this purpose, but it is usually difficult to guess how long it will take - it all depends on the power of the device and the thickness of the peel.

Another good way to prepare crusts is to freeze them. To do this, you should be guided by the following rules:

• we wash the skins well in the above solution;
• chop the skin through a meat grinder;
• the resulting slurry is placed in a container and left in the freezer until spring.

Fertilizer preparation begins approximately 7-10 days before currant processing. This usually happens in the spring. Recipe:

• pour the crushed husk into a bucket;
• pour boiling water so that the water is 5 cm higher than the purification;
• in this form, we infuse the mixture for a week.

This is the main recipe that is used to feed currants. But there are other ways to prepare an effective fertilizer that is suitable for both currants and other crops. For example, an infusion:

• pour dried or frozen potato skins with boiled water;
• we insist during the day.

The resulting infusion is used for watering. In addition, you can make a kind of flour from the peel of potatoes - the ground peel is considered a high-quality universal fertilizer. For this:

• prepare well-dried skins;
• grind in a meat grinder, blender or coffee grinder;
• we store in containers, but not for long, since the peel crushed to a state of crumb is subject to decay, and is also a tasty prey for pests and pathogenic microorganisms.

How to fertilize?

The method of fertilization is also important. As already noted, currants have a superficial root system, and therefore fertilizer should not be applied directly under the bush. For this purpose, a groove is pulled out. Fertilize in a certain way.

• Using a cord, we make a projection of the crown of the bush. This should be done before flowering. The circumference we get is the limits of the root system.
• Along this line, we tear out a groove to a depth of 20 cm.
• At the bottom, place a gruel from potato waste or ground peel and bury it.
• We carry out the procedure annually.

It is very useful to use this fertilizer when planting a plant. To do this, we add top dressing to the hole prepared for planting. We feed the culture every two weeks. However, in the case of currants, this method is not suitable. The fact is that with the regular decomposition of such an abundant amount of cleanings, a large amount of heat is released, and the soil can be overheated in the summer. Therefore, experienced gardeners warn that care should be taken when feeding currants with potato peelings. A couple of times a season is enough.

A particularly important period in the development of currants is the appearance of ovaries. At this time, she also needs a nutritious and beneficial fertilizer from potato peels.

Potato infusion, the recipe for which was presented above, is recommended for use as watering. Watering the plant with it is allowed once every two weeks.

Experienced gardeners know that potato peelings are not only an effective fertilizer for currants, but also excellent protection against pests, the appearance of which negatively affects the harvest. To prevent the adverse effects of insects, it is recommended to set potato traps as soon as the bush is planted in the ground. There are two known ways to use cleaners as a pest control agent. First way:

• place the skins in any containers - cans, pots, glasses, as long as the container is without holes;
• you can add sweet water, syrup or jam;
• bury the containers next to the currants so that their edge is flush with the edge of the earth;
• the next day, all that remains is to pull out the caught insects from the trap and destroy.

Second method:

• find the wire and thread it through the potato peel;
• bury one end of the wire, and leave the other sticking out on the surface;
• after a couple of days, dig out the bait and destroy the insects that adhere to it.

Both methods have been tested, but care should be taken when doing this. Cans and wire can damage the currant roots. For this reason, some gardeners recommend simply scattering the cleanings around the bush, and after a day, collect them along with the pests that come across and throw them away.

The recipe is pretty simple.

• Pour water into a large container, usually a barrel is used.
• There we spread weedy succulent grass, nettles, drip, stale bread crusts, potato peelings. The mass of the bread should exceed the amount of other products. You can place the ingredients not at one time, but for some time.
• After three weeks, effective fertilizer can be used.
• With the resulting mixture, currant bushes are processed three times: the first time - when the ovaries are large, the second - during the ripening of the fruits, the third time - closer to harvest.

• fresh peel will damage young tender currant roots;
• in the summer heat, the crust will spread a stench;
• dry husk is a real treat for rodents;
• even thin skins can germinate.

Listen to a few more tips from agronomists on how to use potato skins as fertilizer.

• If the blanking cleanings were frozen and then thawed, then they can no longer be re-frozen.
• It makes no sense to use boiled potato peel as top dressing. All useful trace elements are already lost during heat treatment.
• Fertilizer can also be applied in winter. To do this, clear the ground around the currant bushes and cover with a film. With the accumulation of cleanings, you can dig out the snow, put fertilizer and bury it again. In the spring, you need to carefully dig up the ground.
• If potato skins are used as an auxiliary ingredient in the preparation of fertilizer, then they cannot be mixed with ash. This is due to the fact that the peel contains nitrogen, which, under the influence of alkali, is transformed into ammonia and evaporates. Such fertilization will not bring much benefit.
• If there is a compost pit on the site, then you can store the potato peel for subsequent feeding right in it.

Potato skins are an effective fertilizer for any kind of currant. This top dressing is especially good at fertilizing the black variety. A properly prepared and used mixture will be an excellent assistant in growing large, sweet, juicy berries.

Every season, any happy owner of a summer cottage faces such a great task as obtaining not just a good, but the best harvest from his land plot. And everyone wants this to happen at the lowest cost. In order to achieve this, the gardener is ready to go to any tricks and tricks. And first of all it concerns soil fertilization. After all, everyone knows very well that not only the quantity, but also the quality of the crop depends on its fertility.

Many hobby gardeners have heard that potato peels can also be used as fertilizer. For which plants is this feeding method most suitable and the worse is the usual fertilization? Every summer resident scrolls such a question in his head, preparing for the spring-summer season in winter. After all, the question of saving is interesting to everyone. It is worth understanding it in order.

What is the minus of organic and

In order to increase yields, mineral (phosphates and nitrates), as well as organic (manure and peat) fertilizers were usually used. But both of these types of fertilizers have a common disadvantage - monetary value. In addition, organic matter usually heavily litters the ground with weeds, and chemical fertilizers tend to accumulate in vegetables and fruits, and then enter the human body, thereby creating huge problems for it.

Therefore, modern summer residents are looking for more economical and safer ways to fertilize the land. One that has proven itself very well is to use potato peels as fertilizer. This method is known to many, but there were no negative reviews about it. Only from year to year more and more positive reviews are heard about him. In addition, it helps protect the crop from some pests. Therefore, the majority of summer residents turned to such an unconventional method as fertilization with potato peelings.

How do you turn waste into plant food?

If you make an effort to preserve waste, which is potato peelings, until spring, rather than throwing them in the trash, they will be of immense benefit. In the spring-summer period on the garden plot, they will serve as an excellent feeding, which does not harm at all, for many garden crops. Yes, and protection against pests such as slugs, wireworms, and therefore, if you are thinking about the question of whether you can use potato peels as fertilizer, prepare them in the off-season.

To do this, it is not at all necessary to freeze the skins from the potatoes. It is enough to dry them. This will not be difficult at all, because the oven will destroy fungi and bacteria that may have got on the tubers from the soil. And they will take up much less space.

What benefits do they bring to the garden and garden?

During the summer cottage, potato peelings are used as fertilizer and as protection against some pests. And as bait for the Colorado potato beetle or slugs, the skins from potatoes proved to be great. One has only to spread them on the surface of the earth before the emergence of sprouts, and when the pests stick to them (usually this happens at night), destroy them. By doing this, you will protect your crop from such a scourge.

It is good to put them in the ground near those plants that love the starch contained in potatoes in large quantities. Rotting, they will give it to the soil, thereby making up for the lack of this product in it. And soggy cleanings are an excellent tool for the seedlings of some plants to take root well and quickly get stronger.

How to properly prepare potato peel fertilizer?

Potato peelings have long been proven in the best way. No wonder summer residents are trying to find out the best recipe for its preparation. Of course, you can just bury it in the ground. But in this case, along with the cleanings, the phytophthora preserved on them will also get into the soil. And besides this, it will take longer for them to completely decompose than in the case when they fall into the soil in the form of a properly prepared fertilizer.

Therefore, it is worth remembering a few rules for its preparation:

• Dried cleaners should be crushed so that transportation to the dacha and further work with them is easier.
• Shredded dry potato peel is placed in a barrel and poured with boiling water. This will help to cope with both late blight and other pests that have survived from the fall.
• The grounds formed after soaking are placed in the holes when planting seedlings, and the plants are watered from above with liquid, which helps not only to fertilize the soil, but also to cope with some pests.

What are the benefits of feeding with potato peelings with pumpkin seeds?

Potato peelings also proved to be excellent as fertilizer for cucumbers and other members of the pumpkin family. They are used as a top dressing when planting seedlings of these plants. It is prepared as follows:

• Dried and finely crushed during the off-season, cleaning from potatoes is poured into a barrel in spring and poured with boiling water so that all pathogenic bacteria that have survived on them from last year die.
• After they are soaked under the influence of hot water, the contents of the container must be mixed well so that it turns into porridge.

When they begin to plant seedlings, they first put a handful of this substance in each hole, sprinkle it with earth, then put potato porridge again and again earth. Only now seedlings are planted in this mixture. It will be great to grow it after this procedure, because the mashed potatoes that have mixed with the soil in the garden will be to the taste of all our helpers in the soil. It will appeal to earthworms and billions of soil bacteria.

This feeding is good not only for cucumbers and pumpkins. Thanks to it, cabbage and even onion crops will have excellent growth.

The right fertilizer for berry crops

But not only in garden beds, summer residents use such a wonderful fertilizer as potato peelings. They also took root in garden plots among excellent reviews from many gardeners received potato peelings as fertilizer for currants. After all, they are an excellent source of starch, as well as glucose, which this shrub likes so much.

Therefore, in order to be with an excellent harvest of delicious berries, you should not be too lazy in the spring, at the time when fruit and berry plantations are digging in, add dry peelings from potatoes to the ground. Then in July the bush will reward you with a magnificent harvest of large, selected berries.

In addition, potato peelings are used, as In this case, they are also introduced into the soil during its spring loosening. It is also good to use an infusion of potatoes for watering in the summer. Any gardener who has tried this method of feeding plants at least once will never give it up again.

A few rules for using potato peels on the site

In order for potato fertilizer to bring only benefits and not make a summer resident who wants to start using it to be disappointed, you should remember a few rules for using them on the site:

• It is undesirable to lay out peelings from potatoes on the soil surface. This, firstly, will make the appearance of the site untidy, and secondly, it will attract numerous rodents to the territory who want to eat.
• Potato peelings as fertilizer for currants and other fruit and berry crops are added dry next to the roots. This is done so that, decomposing in the soil during the summer, by the time the fruits ripen, they give up all the glucose and starch accumulated in themselves to the ground.
• The rest of the vegetable crops are recommended to be watered with an infusion of potato peelings from a watering can, having previously removed the strainer so that it does not clog.

Having fulfilled all these simple rules, an amateur gardener will certainly by the fall be with a large and excellent quality harvest.

Are potato peelings suitable for all plants as fertilizer?

What must be remembered? Potato peelings are not suitable for all plants. Do not use them for plants belonging to the nightshade family. Such as eggplants, peppers, tomatoes and the like are members of this family. The thing is that by nature they have a lot of common diseases. Therefore, there is always a danger that pathogenic bacteria will remain on well-dried and steamed cleanings with boiling water.

Are potato peels a fertilizer for indoor plants?

Potato peelings as a fertilizer are perfect not only for horticultural and horticultural crops. Houseplants are also great for this kind of organic feeding. To do this, it is also worth diluting a solution of dry peelings from potatoes at home and monthly feeding by watering all domestic plants. Their greens will be more magnificent from such care, and you can get rid of many pests without problems without using purchased chemistry for this.

Why is this fertilizer convenient?

No wonder this type of soil fertilization and plant feeding is gaining more and more popularity. It is very economical, because potato dishes are the basis of the diet in any family, regardless of their income level. And considering that even with the ideal quality of tubers, about a fifth of them are subject to disposal, a fairly decent amount of cleanings is recruited during the winter season.
