How to ferment fruit peels into fertilizer? Latest method explained in detail

1. How to make fruit peel water

Prepare various fruit peels, such as dragon fruit peel, lemon peel, banana peel, watermelon peel, tangerine peel, orange peel, etc. Use a kitchen knife or a blender to crush the fruit peels, then prepare rice washing water and brown sugar. Put the fruit peels, rice washing water and brown sugar into a plastic bucket at a ratio of 3:10:1. Be careful not to fill it to the brim; filling it to 2/3 of the plastic bucket's height is enough, so that the fruit peel water will not expand and burst the bottle during fermentation.

2. How to ferment fruit peel water

After the fruit peel water is mixed well, tighten the lid of the plastic bucket securely and carry out anaerobic fermentation. In the early stage of fermentation, open the lid every day to ventilate and exchange air to prevent the bottle from bursting. After ventilating, screw the bottle cap back on, shake the plastic bucket and continue fermenting. If you are worried about opening the bottle to release gas on some busy day, you can unscrew the bottle cap, put a balloon over the bottle opening, and release the gas after the balloon fills with gas and becomes large.

3. How to water flowers with fruit peel water

Fruit peel water must be fully decomposed before it can be used to water flowers. Usually, when you observe that no gas is being produced in the plastic bucket and the fruit peel water smells not foul but only slightly sour, it means the fruit peel fertilizer is completely decomposed. It can be diluted with water 20 times and used to water the flowers once every half month. The fertility of fruit peel water is not high, but fruit peel water is acidic. Watering flowers with it regularly can adjust the pH of the soil, making it very suitable for acid-loving flowers, such as jasmine, camellia, gardenia, rhododendron, etc.
