Can apple peels be used as fertilizer?

Apple peels as fertilizer

Apple peels can be used as fertilizer, but they cannot be applied directly to the soil as fertilizer. They need to be fermented before they can be applied. This can make the originally barren soil lacking in organic matter become fertile again.

Apple peels can be used as flower fertilizer, but they need to be decomposed and fermented for about a month before application. After that, the finished organic fertilizer can be combined with a certain amount of water and used as fertilizer for flowers. It is generally suitable for growing flowers such as roses and peonies that require fertile soil.

How to make fertilizer from apple peel

1. Collect materials

When making fertilizer from apple peels, the first step is to collect a large amount of discarded apple peels. Since you may not be able to get a lot in a short period of time, you can refrigerate them at this time.

2. Centralized fermentation

Then add appropriate amount of clean water to the collected materials, place them in a sealed container, and leave them in the sun for about a month, and the organic fertilizer will be ready.

Key points for using apple peel fertilizer

1. Use of water

Apple peel fertilizer has strong fertility. If it is applied directly, it can easily lead to too strong fertilizer effect, resulting in seedling burn. It needs to be mixed with one to two hundred water before use.

2. Deep burial use

Since apple peel fertilizer is an organic fertilizer that has been decomposed and fermented, it will be accompanied by a certain sour and smelly smell. If it is applied in the open air, it will easily cause environmental pollution. It is best to bury it deep before use.
