I, like many other gardeners do not have much money to buy fertilizer. Of course, much of what is sold - it is necessary and useful, but especially not clear up for retirement. Therefore, I have many years replace drugs purchased natural counterparts. On them will be discussed in this article.
1. Compost
Compost - is the foundation of natural gardening. On it I just could not help but mention. It allows the compost to get rid of a huge number of plant and food residues, turning them into a fertile, rich soil micronutrients.
I am sure that the compost pit is available to every gardener, so pay special attention to this fertilizer, I will not.
2. Eggshell
Eggshell is the best natural source of calcium, phosphorus and potassium. During the winter, you can save a decent amount of fertilizer, which is enough to feed most crops.
It is best to use a shell of raw eggs, there are more nutrients.
Applied shell, mostly in the form of crushed and hammer. The finer the powder is, the more nutrients will be able to soak up the plant.
3. The remnants of coffee and tea
In the midst of Spiti tea and coffee contains a lot of nitrogen, which allows it to replace some of the nitrogen fertilizer. It is perfect for planting and feeding in small amounts. Also, based on the grounds can be made useful nutritional infusions.
However, there is one drawback, the storage grounds may appear small annoying gnats.
4. banana skin
The banana peel contains a lot of potassium, calcium and phosphorus, which allows its use as a natural fertilizer.
Usually, banana peel just buried in the ground in powdered form. But there are many other ways to use, for example:
- Infusions on a banana peel;
- Compost from banana peels;
- Top dressing of dried banana peels;
- Fertilizer fried peel.
5. Tangerine peel
Needless to dispose of tangerine peel. In dried form it can be safely used for fertilizer potatoes. Just add a bit of peel in the hole when planting. Potatoes will be protected from pests, as well as rich in nutrients.
6. leftover fish
The fish waste contains a lot of phosphorus, potassium and nitrogen. Why throw such a storehouse of nutrients in the trash? Use waste as a top dressing for fruit bushes and roses.
Before application, the remains of fish better chop or grind. So they better assimilate cultures and will not be dug up a neighbor's cat.
7. onion peel
Another excellent natural fertilizer is an onion peel. She remains in excess of any housewife, and its storage does not cause any problems. As part of the onion peel it contains a lot of vitamins and minerals such as calcium, potassium, phosphorus and iron.
Onion peel can be added to the ground during landing time therefrom is set infusions and solutions.
8. Honey
Do not throw away the empty jar of honey. Fill it with warm water and soak in this solution cuttings fruit crops. After this procedure, the plants take root better and you will be pleased with the accelerated growth and development.
Soaking is suitable only natural honey. Honey products should be avoided.
9. Old bread
Natural yeast bread - a great stimulator of growth and development of any plants. Based on it make tinctures, which are fed vegetable crops. It is best to use black bread, it contains more useful elements than white.
