Pea husks as fertilizer

Pea skins can be used as fertilizers. Pea skins, melon seed shells, egg shells, and peanut shells all have many promoting effects on plant growth, but they must be fermented before use.

Pea skins can be used as flower fertilizer and are suitable for many flower plants, such as Christmas cactus, amaryllis, Clivia, jasmine, Kalanchoe, rose, gardenia, white anthurium, etc.

How to make fertilizer from pea skins

First, boil the pea shells in water for a while, wait for them to cool down, put the shells and water into a sealed container and let them ferment naturally. When the liquid in the container turns dark brown, it can be used as flower fertilizer. Note that it must be diluted with water before use.

Key points for using pea husk fertilizer

1. If pea skins are used as fertilizer, they must be diluted with water and the concentration can be controlled at around 5%. Follow the principle of "applying small amounts of fertilizer frequently". If the concentration is too high, it can easily burn the roots of the plants.

2. Pea skins must be composted and fermented before they can be used as fertilizer. They cannot be allowed to ferment in the soil, otherwise the heat released will burn the plants.
