Expired feed as fertilizer

Expired feed can be used as fertilizer, and the nutrients in it can promote the growth of plants, but unfermented feed cannot be used, and the frequency of use should not be too high.

Expired feed is more suitable as fertilizer for foliage and flowering plants, and can promote the glossiness of leaves. Common ones include the lucky tree, money tree, Christmas cactus, osmanthus, orchid, and kalanchoe.

How to make fertilizer from expired feed

Expired feed can be fermented in a cement pool or other container. Add feed, water, fermentation agent and other materials and mix them evenly. Then cover with a layer of plastic film and seal it. It usually takes more than half a month to ferment. The longer the time, the better the effect of the fertilizer.

Key points for using expired feed fertilizers

1. Expired feed can be used as fertilizer, but moldy feed cannot be used because it will produce toxins that will pollute the soil and seeds, and will be detrimental to the growth of plants.

2. If expired feed is used as fertilizer, it must be fermented and decomposed before use. Otherwise, it will generate heat and burn the roots in the flowerpot, and in severe cases, it may cause the death of the plant.
