Grape skins as fertilizer

Grape skins can be used as fertilizers. After fermentation, the skins become very good organic fertilizers. Mixing them into the soil can increase the acidity of the soil, help the roots of the plants expand, and promote the growth of flowers.

Grape skins are more suitable as fertilizers for acid-loving plants, such as jasmine, azalea, orchid, gardenia, Milan, etc. The fermented grape skins can help these plants grow better.

How to make fertilizer from grape skins

1. Prepare the materials: Chop the prepared grape skins in advance to speed up the fermentation. Then put them into a container together with rice washing water and sugar, filling about 2/3.

2. Late fermentation: Seal it easily, then open it once a day to release the air. It will take about two months to complete the fermentation. After diluting it with water, it can be used to water the flowers.

Key points for using grape skin fertilizer

1. Grape skins are prone to insect infestation if fermented. If grape skins used as fertilizer are found to be infested with insects, use should be discontinued, otherwise it will have a certain adverse effect on flowers and plants.

2. The frequency of using grape skin fertilizer should not be too high. Generally, it is enough to use it once every one to two months. Otherwise, it will easily cause insects to infest the plant, which will hinder its growth.
