The Kitchen Scrap Rxs For Healthier Flower Gardens!
According to recent reports you can also add fertilizer to the list of things that
will be going up in price and if you’re a gardener (mainly flowers) who uses fertilizer,
here are some cheap alternatives.
The Alternative:
Kitchen Scraps.
That’s right, hold onto to those peanut shells and coffee grounds if you want to
see your garden grow.
a) Eggshells-
If you’re a fan of marigolds, good for you. They (marigolds) are one of the best
companion plants in a vegetable garden because their scent deters cabbage
worms and white flies. But they are susceptible to slugs. To keep them (slugs)
away, sprinkle a few eggshells on the soil. The shells’ sharp edges deter slugs,
and as they break down, they release calcium leading to larger blooms.
b) Citrus Peels-
Lime, lemon and orange peels can keep cats out of your garden
and if you plant peonies, sprinkle some chopped up citrus peels
around the base of the plants. Citrus peels contain folate, riboflavin
and thiamine, nutrients that enrich the soil and help peonies grow.
c) Coffee Grounds-
Like citrus peels, some pests can’t stand the smell of coffee grounds and
if you want happier hydrangeas, feed them the leftover grounds.
Coffee grounds are rich in tannic acid, which really helps hydrangeas grow.
To help yours reach taller heights sprinkle some coffee grounds around the
base of the plants. Coffee grounds are also a wonderful source of nitrogen,
which acts as a slow release fertilizer, helping the green leaves grow lush and full.
d) Banana Peels-
Roses may be one of the most popular plants in the U.S. and if you want
roses that are full and lush, feed them some banana peels.
Banana peels contain potassium and phosphorous, 2 minerals essential
for healthy rose blooms. Phosphorous strengthens stems and encourages
buds to grow, while potassium helps roses resist the damaging pests.
Cut up the peels and scatter them around the soil.
e) Peanut Shells-
Are you a fan of Irises? Well toss some peanut and other nut shells
around the base of the flowers. Irises love well-aerated moist soil–
two things nut shells help deliver. As the shells rot and decompose,
they become excellent mulch, helping the soil maintain moisture
while keeping it loose, which improves root growth. Plus, the shells
deter weeds, ensuring irises don’t have to compete for key nutrients
in the soil.
