What to do with apple peels? Do you also ask yourself this question?
It's still a shame to throw them away, isn't it? What a waste!
Do you know that apple peelings can be super useful in the garden?
Eh yes ! They turn into a 100% natural fertilizer to feed plants.
Here's Grandma's anti-waste trick for recycling apple peels in the garden. Watch:
1. Take the apple peelings.
2. Cut them into small pieces.
3. Put them at the foot of the plants in the soil.
4. Water thoroughly.
There you go, you used your apple peelings to have beautiful plants :-)
Easy, fast and efficient, right?
No more waste!
Of course, apple peels have many other uses and they can be used in lots of recipes.
You can make an herbal tea from apple peelings, juice, syrup, jelly, cider vinegar or even sweet crisps.
You can also dry them to snack on later.
You can also feed them to chickens, rabbits, hamsters or put them in the compost.
But not everyone has chickens and we don't all make compost!
This use as fertilizer in the garden is undoubtedly the easiest and fastest.
As in a compost, the apple peels will slowly rot in the earth.
All the nutrients and vitamins present in the skin of the apples will enrich the soil of the plants.
These will directly benefit from all the benefits of this ecological fertilizer.
It's both natural and completely free.
And it works for your vegetable garden but also to boost your indoor or outdoor plants.
Of course, it is better to use organic apple peelings to prevent pesticides from ending up in the soil of your plants or the vegetable garden.
Apple peelings will nourish your plants in your garden or vegetable patch.
They will be stronger and healthier. But that's not all!
Did you know that some pests hate the smell of rotting plants?
This is particularly the case for small white worms (beetle larvae, for example).
They discreetly attack the roots of plants to feed. They thus weaken the plants, even make them feed.
But the good news...
It's that the smell of rotten apple acts on them as a natural repellent.
So it's a good way to get rid of it without using chemicals!
