alert! Don’t throw away these rubbish during the Chinese New Year! Planting flowers

Wine Bottle

Wine bottles are probably the most common garbage produced at home during the Chinese New Year. They are a nuisance to keep at home, and they won’t make much money if you sell them. It’s really a dilemma. Why not use them to grow flowers?

Usage 1: Make your own self-watering vase!

▼Take a clean wine bottle and split it in half

▼ Use sandpaper to smooth the cut to prevent puncture wounds

▼Put a cotton swab under one end of the bottle mouth, put some soil in it, and plant some flowers.

▼Then pour water on one end of the bottom of the bottle and insert one end of the bottle mouth into the other end of the bottom of the bottle, as shown in the picture below, and our automatic watering pot is ready.

▼ No more worrying about forgetting to water the flowers

Usage 2: Automatic watering artifact!

▼Prepare a wine bottle with a wine bottle cap

▼ Use detergent to clean the wine bottle

▼Use a hole punch or other tool to make a small hole in the bottle cap.

▼The size of the small hole is as shown in the picture

▼Fill the wine bottle with water and cover it with a cap

▼ Turn the wine bottle upside down and bury it in the vase

Water will pass through the small holes on the bottle cap and continuously supply water to the plants. If you are away from home for a long time, you can try watering the plants in this way.

Plastic bottles

Adults drink alcohol, and children of course love to drink beverages. It seems a pity to throw away the remaining beverage bottles, so why not use them to plant flowers? Plastic bottles are very useful.

Using plastic bottles as flower pots or something like that is probably something everyone can think of, so I won’t go into details. Today, I’ll introduce to you a quick method of cuttings, which also uses plastic bottles.

1. When drinking mineral water, leave about 1 cm of water in the bottle and tear off the advertising paper on the bottle.

2. Cut branches about 5-8cm long, do not cut the leaves, keep them all. Put the branches into the mineral water bottle and let the mineral water cover the ends of the branches. The shallower the water, the better.

3. Place the mineral water bottle in a well-lit and ventilated place on the south balcony, with the leaves facing the sun as much as possible, and do not cover the bottle mouth.

4. After a few days, healing tissue will appear and roots will take shape after a few weeks.

5. Be careful not to expose it to too strong direct sunlight and control the temperature inside the bottle, otherwise the temperature will be too high and you will be scalded to death.

6. After the roots have grown for a few weeks, transfer to soil cultivation. First use disposable paper cups for water cultivation, and then slowly add soil. Add clean plain soil, which is not easy to breed mold.

Fruit leather

When entertaining guests, fruit is inevitable, but the leftover fruit peels are more troublesome, especially for flower lovers who live in homes with very high temperatures. They always have to be cleaned up in time, otherwise they will attract small flying insects... In fact, fruit peels are also good materials for growing flowers~ For example, they can be used as fertilizer.

Banana peel compost

1. Prepare banana peels.

2. Use scissors to cut the banana peel into pieces for easy decomposition.

3. Find a larger trash can as much as possible. First, put about 10 centimeters of flower soil at the bottom of the trash can, put an appropriate amount of banana peel fragments into the soil, then cover it with a layer of soil, and then put another layer of banana peel fragments. Repeat this cycle until it is full and seal it with soil.

4. Wait for about 3 months and the composting is ready! The temperature is low in winter, so the waiting time will be longer. The fermented humus soil can be used to plant flowers directly or as a fertilizer for flowers.

Similarly, various fruit peels, kitchen leftovers, and leaves can be used to obtain fertilizer in this way.

Orange peel deodorant

As we all know, although homemade flower fertilizer is free, not everyone can stand the stench during the composting process. This is when orange peels come into play. Throw a few pieces of orange peels into the compost when composting. If you are worried, you can throw in a few more pieces. Not only will there be no stench, there will even be the fresh fragrance of orange peels!

Various dried fruit shells

Melon seeds, walnuts, Badam, peanuts... As soon as the Chinese New Year comes, all kinds of dried fruits are placed on our table. Although dried fruits are delicious, the peels are really frustrating to eat, especially the melon seed peels. Huahua feels like going crazy every time she cleans them. In fact, these can also be collected to grow flowers~

Usage 1: Pad the flower pot

You can crush walnut shells, macadamia shells and other hard things and put them at the bottom of the flower pot, and then fill the flower pot with soil, which can effectively prevent water accumulation.

Usage 2: Fertilizer

Collect the peanut shells, melon seed shells, etc. at home, put them in a plastic bucket, then add water, about 80%, then add a little pesticide, and then seal it. If you are worried that the compost will smell bad, you can put some orange peels in it.

Placing plastic bottles in the sun can speed up the decomposition process. Generally, fermentation is successful in about three months, but the temperature is low in winter, so the time may be longer. When you see that the peanut skins and melon seed skins have almost sunk to the bottom of the plastic bottle, it means they are ready to ferment.

After the fertilizer is fermented, take out the clear liquid on the top, add water and water the flowers! You can also add water into it and continue to ferment the fertilizer!

Leftover wine

In addition to the wine bottles at home, there are also leftover wines, such as beer, white wine, red wine, etc. Of course, if the family is relatively wealthy, Huahua suggests that the leftover wine can be used to grow flowers~

Watering flowers with beer

Beer is very useful. For example, mixing leftover beer with water to water the flowers can promote flowering and prevent flower buds. It is especially useful for Clivia!

You can also wipe the leaves of the plants with beer mixed with water, which can not only clean the dust on the leaves, but also allow the plants to absorb nutrients directly from the leaves.

Watering flowers with white wine

White wine can also be used to water flowers, but it must be diluted with water, and the degree of dilution must be larger~ Watering flowers with white wine can effectively relieve dead seedlings~ Drink one cup a day, and you will see the effect in about 7 days!

Leftover tea and tea leaves

In addition to wine, flower lovers probably have more tea at home. No matter it is for daily drinking or for entertaining guests, there must be a lot of tea dregs and tea accumulated in the end. These can be used to grow flowers after processing!

Leftover tea

After 1-2 days, leftover tea can be added to water to water the flowers. Of course, you cannot do it every day and it needs to be diluted because the tea has a high concentration and the alkaloids in it may also harm the flowers. So be sure to water less and dilute it!

Leftover tea can also be sealed together with rice washing water, orange peels, etc. to ferment and decompose. When using, mix it with clean water to make a certain proportion of fertilizer water. Apply it to flowers and plants once in a while, which is very beneficial to the growth of acid-loving flowers and plants.

Drink the remaining tea leaves

1. Do not throw away the leftover tea leaves. You can cool them down and dry them for later use. If you have old soil at home, you can bury the tea leaves in the soil. This will not only improve the pH value of the soil and optimize the soil quality, but also increase the looseness and permeability of the soil.

2. You can also prepare a small bucket on weekdays, pour the leftover tea leaves into it, and throw the leaves and branches cut from pruning into it. Then pour some soil and water on it. The water should cover everything.

Then put the bucket on the balcony and leave it alone until the moisture evaporates and the soil can be used. Don't throw high-protein things into the bucket. Seafood, meat, and animal offal will definitely make them smell bad.

Leftovers

Of course, there is one more thing, and that is leftovers. During the Chinese New Year, we always have to cook a big table of dishes, and then the rest of the days, we have to keep eating leftovers, eating leftovers... Every time this happens, Huahua wants to cry and say, Mom, I don’t want to eat leftovers anymore!

Composting

If you really can’t eat leftovers, don’t force yourself. Huahua will teach you a method to use them to make compost!

Gather together the leftovers that you no longer want to eat, find a foam box or a large bucket, and cover the bottom with a layer of garden soil.

(Author: Sloppy Man Source: I Love Vegetables Network)

Spread a layer of leftovers, cover with garden soil, and repeat this process until the foam box or bucket is full. Remember, the top layer must be garden soil. Only when it is covered with garden soil, the odor will be less. You can also throw some orange peels, tea leaves, etc. into the leftovers to effectively reduce the odor.

Place the foam box or barrel in a warmer place, or directly in the sun. The lower the temperature, the faster the fermentation! Generally speaking, fermentation can be successful in about 3 months, but the temperature in winter is too low, so the time will be extended accordingly.

After fermentation is complete, you can directly use the fermented soil for planting or fertilization.

OK~

Do you feel that the garbage produced during the Chinese New Year is treasure?
