Why buy strange chemicals when you can fertilize peppers with simple home remedies? The results of such natural tinctures are visible within a couple of days after watering.
Onion peel
A real help for peppers. It simultaneously nourishes plants and protects them from diseases. Everything is prepared simply: take 20 grams of husk, pour 4 liters of hot water and leave for 4 days. Then you filter and you can water the beds.
Banana peel
For peppers, it's like a potassium dessert. Take the skins of three ripe bananas, add three liters of water and wait two days. After this time, a completely natural and very strong potassium fertilizer is obtained.
Nettle
It brings great benefits to the garden, and peppers respond especially well to nettle infusion. Take 100 grams of dried or fresh nettle leaves, add 3 liters of water and place in a warm place. When foam appears on the surface, cover the container with a lid or film. Let it sit for another two weeks, shaking it every day. Strain the finished fertilizer and dilute it with water in a ratio of 1 to 2. To enhance the effect, add a couple of spoons of ash, writes the Zen channel “Favorite Dacha. Garden and Vegetable Garden” (12+).
Eggshell
A whole complex of useful substances for the growth and harvest of peppers. The shells can simply be crushed and scattered on the ground around the plants. Or you can make an infusion: take the shells of three eggs, add 3 liters of water and cover with plastic. After three days, the liquid will become cloudy – this is a sure sign that the fertilizing is ready.
Reviews
“I tried banana peels on my peppers in the greenhouse. To be honest, I doubted it at first. But after four days I noticed that the leaves became dark green and more powerful, and there were noticeably more ovaries”;
“I’ve used onion peels before, but this is the first time I’ve learned about nettles. I did everything according to the instructions, waited two weeks, diluted them, and the peppers really came to life”;
“In my opinion, there’s too much fuss. Leave onion peels for four days, wait for bananas, ferment nettles for two weeks. I just bought liquid fertilizer based on vermicompost. I diluted it in a minute, and the effect is the same.”
