How to make fertilizer from peanut shells

Peanut shells can be used as organic fertilizers, but they need to be fully fermented and decomposed. The peanut shells we come into contact with are generally used as an additive in commercial organic fertilizers.

Because a lot of manure contains too much water during fermentation, according to national regulations on commercial organic fertilizers, the moisture content must be less than 30%.

Many organic fertilizer manufacturers will crush peanut shells and add them to organic fertilizers for fermentation, which can reduce the moisture in the organic fertilizer.

Of course, we have a lot of peanut shells that can be fermented alone as organic fertilizer. In fact, peanut shell fermentation is almost the same as other manure fermentation .

Generally speaking, you can pile the peanut shells and add a certain amount of water and urea to increase the carbon-nitrogen ratio.

With a certain humidity, a certain amount of microbial agents or EM bacteria can be added to the peanut shells to promote fermentation. At the same time, cover it with plastic film, so that it will gradually ferment with high temperature and the temperature will gradually rise.

It usually takes about 30 days to ferment in summer and more than 60 days in winter to fully ferment and mature. During fermentation, it is recommended to turn the pile once for more complete fermentation and maturity.

After the peanut shells are fermented and mature, the temperature will gradually drop to about 40 degrees. Under normal circumstances, they can be used in the soil as base fertilizer after fermentation.

It is best to add microbial fertilizer when using base fertilizer to improve the soil, which has a good effect.

Since peanut shells have a low organic matter content, generally speaking, the best amount per mu of land is about 2,000 kilograms. At the same time, the amount of microbial fertilizer should reach 300-500 kilograms for the best effect.

What flowers can be grown with fermented peanut shells

Fermented peanut skins can be used to plant flowers directly. Generally, after the peanut shells are fermented, they are used to plant Clivia, orchids , and other common flowers.

When mixing the soil, pay attention to the fact that it can be breathable and water-permeable to prevent the soil from becoming compacted, and it can also provide nutrients for flowers. It is a very good organic soil and can be used to plant any flowers at home.

It should be noted that peanut shells that have not been fermented and fully decomposed generally cannot be used to grow flowers. Otherwise, they will ferment in the pot and generate a large amount of heat energy, causing root burns and seedling damage.
