2 Homemade Fertilizers for Plants to Bear Fruit

Applying fertilizer to our patios or gardens enriches the soil with critical elements such as phosphorus, potassium, and nitrogen. This nutrient boost promotes healthy plant development and production.

Chemical fertilizers are widely used. Even though they can provide the required nutrients, their improper or excessive application may harm the soil and the plants themselves.

Organic fertilizers, derived from natural components, are a more environmentally friendly and cost-effective alternative.

Let’s look at how to make two organic fertilizers that will considerably increase the fruit-bearing potential of your plants.

 Fertilizer from banana peels.

Symptoms of potassium shortage in plants include fading leaves or curling at the

edges. This nutrient-dense fertilizer can help preserve the natural color of foliage and fruits.

Five banana peels, 1.5 liters of water, a medium-sized saucepan, and a bottle are all required.

Begin by slicing the banana peel into small pieces. Pour water into the pot, add the peel pieces, and cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes, or until the water turns brown from the banana peels.

Allow the liquid to cool completely before transferring it to the bottle.

When using this fertilizer, dilute one part with five parts water and apply the mixture weekly. During blooming seasons, apply undiluted fertilizer biweekly.

Another way of employing

This fertilizer consists of burying pieces of peel in the potting soil, which will release magnesium, potassium, and other nutrients over time.

A significant advantage of this liquid fertilizer is its low risk of overuse because it decomposes gradually. However, it has a short shelf life.

2. Eggshell-Based Fertilizer

Prepare five or six eggshells, two liters of water, a blender, a spoon, a medium-sized pot, and a bottle.

Place the eggshells in a blender and process for a few minutes. Stir with a spoon to dislodge any bigger shell pieces, then blend again till fine powder. If a blender is not available, you can use a mortar to ground the shells into a powder. The finer the powder, the simpler

It dissolves in soil.

Creating an infusion is comparable to making banana peel fertilizer. Pour the powdered eggshells into the kettle of water. Once the water begins to boil, let it to simmer for another five minutes. Turn off the heat and let the liquid cool.

Transfer the liquid to the bottle, and your fertilizer is ready to apply to the soil. Pour a small amount of the infusion while watering. The eggshell infusion will supplement the soil with magnesium, potassium, and phosphorus.
