Anatural solutions have been gaining more and more supporters in recent times. In an increasingly industrialized world, some prefer to resort to what nature offers to improve various aspects of life.
Now, as far as plants are concerned, it is no exception. In view of this, the blog “The Agricultural Scientist” reveals 5 organic fertilizers that will help your plants grow healthier.
1. Banana shells
Did you know you can take advantage of the peels of bananas you eat to fertilize the plants you have at home?
“ You can use them in a composter to make composting and after this process, return banana peels to the soil, thus helping to provide essential nutrients to your plants such as potassium, nitrogen and calcium for plants”, notes the blog in question.
If you do not have a composter, “you can bury banana peels in the soil before planting your crops”.
2. Coffee stains
Don't throw your coffee dregs in the trash. You can add them to your compost pile. “The lees contribute to adding nitrogen and other minerals and vitamins to the soil, which is very beneficial,” he said.
3. Grass shavings
Grass shavings can also be used to fertilise plant soil, since it is a “rich source of nitrogen, oxygen and phosphorus for the soil”. Just dilute them and be careful not to use them if they are wet or too green.
4. Animal strut/stert
