Kitchen waste makes great fertilizer for plants, a win-win of recycling waste

Growing some flowers and plants at home has become a trend, but to grow plants well, you need to give them plenty of fertilizer. If you buy fertilizer for your plants over the long term, it really costs a lot of money. In fact, you can use kitchen waste to make your own flower fertilizer. Not only is it simple to make, but it also saves you a lot of money!

First, find a plastic bottle or a large bucket, wash the liquid out of the container, then add water to 60% of the container, then chop up some fruit peels, vegetables, tea leaves and so on, put the chopped pieces into the bottle, then sprinkle a layer of brown sugar on top and stir evenly. However, the ratio of brown sugar, waste material and water is best at 1:3:10, as this allows it to ferment better.

It is best to leave a little space in the bottle, otherwise it tends to overflow during fermentation. When putting on the cap, do not screw it too tight, then open the cap about every 2 days to let them breathe, then about once a month shake it evenly or stir it evenly with chopsticks. Basically, after about 3 months it will ferment successfully. After successful fermentation, the color of the liquid will turn yellow. If it still has not fermented successfully after 3 months, you need to add some more brown sugar and continue fermenting until the solution turns yellow.

The fermented flower fertilizer cannot be used directly; it needs to be diluted with clean water, otherwise it easily burns the plant's roots, which is bad for the plant's growth. So we can mix the flower fertilizer and clean water evenly at a ratio of 1:1000 and then use it to water the plants. This will give the plants plenty of nutrients for growth, making them lush with branches and leaves and blooming continuously.

And the fermented solution can not only be used to water flowers. Pouring the solution directly into the toilet or pipes has the effect of removing dirt and unclogging pipes. Also, the residue we filter out can be wrapped up and used to wipe the floor or wash dishes; it works even better than dish soap.
