Stop throwing it away, throw it at the plants in the house or garden: they will thank you
An ingredient that we usually throw away is useful for the plants we have at home or in the garden. Here’s how to use it.
In our homes, to beautify our rooms, we use some plants of different nature as furniture that help us have a nice and beautiful house to look at.
Many of these plants are useful not only for their aesthetic function but also to prevent mold from forming on the walls, due to the condensation that can arise from humidity.
Plants: this is what we can use instead of throwing it away
In fact, some of these evergreen friends tend to absorb all the excess moisture and retain it so that there is an ever-present air exchange also thanks to their photosynthesis.
Like every plant and tree, thanks to this method, there is a change of carbon dioxide and oxygen that can be really healthy for the human body and therefore the air in which the plants are kept will always be genuine.
But we can also find these plants outdoors, especially on our balconies and in the gardens, and we must be very careful with their maintenance because bad weather could damage them.
Plants , outside our homes, are useful for the ecosystem , since insects can land on their flowers and extract the necessary nectar to then proceed with pollination.
This is very important, because the planet is becoming greener and healthier thanks to the help of pollinating insects and having a garden full of flowers and plants does nothing but help these little friends of ours.
In recent times there has always been a push for man to become aware of the issue of eco-sustainability and safeguarding the planet after actions that have put his health at risk for years.
For this reason, in many Italian Municipalities it has been decided to enrich flower beds with flowers and plants, to the point of giving insects a contribution to proliferate and continue their pollinating action, which is also very useful for us humans.
The unthinkable ingredient
No matter how much we can do for the environment, it always seems like it’s never enough and so we look for ways to make sure plants and flowers are always lush, but not everyone knows some secrets.
There is an ingredient , which we usually throw away, that is very useful if we add it to the soil of our plants. We are talking about eggshells that, combined with other waste, can become an excellent fertilizer.
First you should put the egg shells into the bowl of a blender along with the banana peels and coffee grounds and pour a little water to soften everything.
Subsequently, all the ingredients are aged and we will obtain a mixture that must be introduced into the plant’s soil, taking care to keep the mixture away from the roots.
When digging, you have to introduce this compound into a furrow in the ground and then cover everything with more soil and add a little water so that everything is absorbed well.
This will help keep non-pollinating insects away and the properties of banana peel and eggshell will make flowers and plants grow strong and lush that will last over time.
