Broad bean skins can be used as flower fertilizer, but they need to be composted and fermented and placed in a high temperature environment for about a month. After that, they can be used as fertilizer for flowers. They are generally suitable for growing flowers such as jasmine and roses that like fertile soil.

Key points for using broad bean hull fertilizer

1. Deep fertilization

Broad bean hull fertilizer needs to be composted, during which a lot of sour and smelly odors will be generated. If used on the soil surface, it will easily pollute the surrounding environment. It is better to bury the fertilizer deeply.

2. Add appropriately

The fertility of broad bean hull fertilizer is relatively strong. If applied directly, it may cause the soil concentration to rise instantly, burn the roots of the plants, and cause damage to the plants. The amount of fertilizer applied each time should be controlled.
