New DIY Method Transforms Fruit Peels into Rapid Organic Plant Fertilizer

A recent online video by "Agriculture and Technology" has provided gardeners with an innovative method for creating a fast-acting organic fertilizer from common fruit peels. The video addresses the common misconception that simply burying fruit peels in soil provides immediate nutrients to plants, clarifying that this process is too slow. Instead, the tutorial demonstrates a two-step approach: first, finely grinding fruit peels and mixing them with lemon juice to accelerate nutrient dissolution. Following a 24-hour resting period, the mixture's acidity is balanced by adding finely ground eggshells or agricultural lime, rendering it safe and effective for plant application. This DIY technique offers an accessible way for home gardeners to utilize kitchen waste for plant nourishment, potentially boosting soil health and plant growth more efficiently than traditional composting methods alone.
