The use of orange and tangerine peels in the garden as fertilizer

Surely everyone knows that this fruit contains a huge amount of vitamins, nutrients and minerals. But not everyone knows that its peels are rich in pectin and essential oils.

Therefore, the use of tangerine peels in the garden is becoming more popular. Fertilizer material can be harvested throughout the winter period, collecting crusts in a separate box.

Do not forget that in the modern world a large number of chemicals are used to treat fruits. Therefore, in order for our orange fertilizers to bring exceptional benefits, you need to thoroughly wash them and pour boiling water over them before starting collection and storage.

And only now you can dry the peel for 3 days at room temperature. Some gardeners carry out the final drying of the crusts in the oven, a special dryer. The dried product must be crushed and placed in a dry container with a tight lid.

The use of peel in the garden

With the onset of the spring period, it's time to bring our orange fertilizer to the land. The use of crusts in the garden and garden can be very diverse.

As a rule, they are applied in small quantities as fertilizer when planting seedlings. In this way, you can not only feed the plants, but also protect them from pest attacks.

Many gardeners use tangerine peels as a fertilizer, but also as a plant protection. Pests such as aphids, spider mites and thrips do not tolerate the solution from the peel. You can cook it with your own hands at home. To do this, we need to take peels from a couple of oranges, chop them and pour 1000 ml of warm water.

We pour the resulting solution into a container and put it in a dark room for 7 days. After this period, you need to get a container, add a small amount of liquid soap to our solution, mix and strain well. And only now you can start processing plants. You ask, why is there soap in our solution? And all so that the solution lingers on the leaves as long as possible.

Remember! To get rid of thrips and aphids, you need to carry out no more than 3 treatments, and to overcome the spider mite, we need 5-6 treatments with an interval of 7 days.

Getting rid of ants

Agree, ants bring us a lot of trouble in the garden. And like nothing else, orange peels are a great help in eliminating them. To do this, we need a blender, citrus peel and warm water. We mix the components in a blender and pour the resulting puree onto the paths of ants. You can add even more water and water the whole anthills.
