3. Then evenly sprinkle a layer of original soil on the top of the peel, with a thickness of about two or three centimeters, so as to ensure that the peel is completely covered by the soil, which is conducive to accelerating the fermentation process

4. If there is more space above the soil, you can continue to add a layer of peel. The method is the same as the previous step

5. After the pericarp is added, it is still necessary to continue to cover the soil. In this way, one layer of pericarp is covered with soil until the flower pot is filled up, so that a pot full of organic soil can be obtained

6. After it is done, you can pour a little rice washing water and cover the flowerpot with plastic bags to accelerate fermentation. Raising flowers with such soil is more nutritious than simple garden soil

Pomelo peel

The transportation cost of nutritious soil purchased online is high and the price is not cheap. Making it yourself is cheap and affordable.

2、 Supplement nitrogen and potassium fertilizer

Banana peel

Banana peel is rich in potassium fertilizer, which can make our flowers grow stronger and enhance their resistance. Moreover, banana peel is easy to rot and easy to use. Here's a brief introduction to the use of banana peel:

Method 1:

This method does not need fermentation. Cut the banana peel and bury it at the bottom of the flowerpot. The deeper it is, the better. Do not put it around the root system, and do not have too much. The banana peel can rot quickly at the bottom of the flowerpot and provide nutrition for the root system

Method 2:

Many flower friends are worried that the banana peel will cause damage to the root system when it ferments at the bottom of the pot. Just in case, flower friends can now compost in the empty pot. As we mentioned above, a layer of soil and a layer of banana peel will soon be retted and can be used when the soil is completely black

Pineapple peel

Usually eat pineapple. The peeled pineapple peel is packed in plastic barrels, and then add water and brown sugar. The ratio is 3 kg pineapple peel: 1 kg brown sugar: 10 kg water. After fermentation in a cool place for three months, it can be used to water the flowers

3、 Reduce soil alkalinity

Orange peel

Northern soil is alkaline. If you want to reduce soil alkalinity, you can make good use of orange peel. When retting, putting some orange peel can also reduce the odor

1. First, cut the peeled orange peel with scissors to facilitate loading and fermentation

2. Put the cut orange peel into a plastic bottle and add rice washing water. After fermentation for a month, it can be used to water the flowers

When watering flowers, be sure to dilute before using

4、 Loose soil

Peanut shell

Method 2:

The peanut shell is padded at the bottom of the flowerpot, which can play the role of drainage.

Chestnut shell

Method 1:

The outermost layer of chestnut is like a hedgehog. Pick up a few and put them at the bottom of the flowerpot (make sure your flowerpot is deep). They are permeable and breathable. They will not cause damage to the root system when they decay. However, they can't be asked. Be careful when picking them up. Don't get stuck in your hand

Method 2:

Although the shell of chestnut is hard to find, the shell of sugar fried chestnut we often eat can also be used to raise flowers. Break the shell of chestnut, mix it with the soil in the ratio of 1:2, put it into the flower pot, and then pour rice washing water to let it rot slowly. Then it can be used directly, loose and breathable
