How to add nutrients /fertllizer

Just as we human being need nutrient to grow and stay healthy. A potted plants depend on us for nourishment .Organic manure is healthy option as chemical manure like N P K or UREA though make impact instantly but is bad for plant health in long run.
         The next time you toss away the following kitchen waste , and if you garden , then think of it .These materials provide inexpensive source of fertilizer to your plants.
     Below are few basic material found in every household that can be used .

EGG SHELLS:

Though nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are most vital for healthy plant growth, calcium is also essential for building healthy “bones”—the cell walls of a plant. egg shells are composed of calcium carbonate, and are an excellent way to introduce this mineral into the soil. To prepare the eggshells, grind with a mixer, grinder, or mortar  and burry  them into the soil.






BANANA PEELS: 



               just like egg shells this throw away part is useful .eat the edible part and  use scissors to cut peel into smaller fragments. these pieces can be used straight into pot or composting them.
Burry the peels about 2 inch below the soil without disturbing the roots.
As the peels decompose , all the remaining minerals will reach the roots



Nutrients that occur in  banana peels :

  • potassium 
  • phosphorus 
  • calcium 
  • magnesium
  • sodium 
  • sulfur 
manganese 

ONION PEEL:


ONION peel ( outer dried skin) is rich source of calcium ,potassium, magnesium , iron and many more. it serves as a best organic fertiliser for plant.
Take handful of peels and soak in 1 lit jar with water for overnight.
use the reddish water , a little amount , in every pot.
