agriculture review

You will be surprised to know that much of our kitchen waste are rich source of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and calcium for plants. Instead of throwing use them to fertilize plants.
Do you throw away onion peels, well stop throwing them right now. Put a handful of peels in a liter of water and leave it for 48 hours, strain and use as a flower booster in plants.
Just like onion peels, banana peels also help in promoting flowering in plants. Dry them under sunlight till they are dark and crisp, crush them and use them to fertilize plants.
After making tea in your kitchen, do not throw away used tea leaves. Tea leaf compost is a good source of nitrogen and also contains small amounts of phosphorus & potassium.
They are a good source of calcium for plants & help in fruit setting in plants and prevent blossom end rot disease in tomato plants, Crush them to powder form to use as fertilizer.
Used coffee grounds are rich in nitrogen and can be sprinkled directly onto the soil to improve nutritional composition and plant growth.
Rice water has magnesium, calcium, iron and sulfur which promotes plant growth. You can also use them to mist your houseplants for healthy foliage growth.
You can use peels of oranges, pomelo, etc. to fertilize plants. They not only supply nutrients but they can also deter pests away from the plants.
Use carrot tops, lettuce leaves, broccoli stems, etc. in your compost pile to make a nutrient-rich compost. Avoid adding any meat source as it can decrease the quality.
