Hello friends, another Monday making publications to improve the production of our gardens. And today I wanted to do an article about fertilizers.
I am not against chemical fertilizers, they work well and are not very harmful for the most part. But they are expensive and do not improve the land, so in the long run either you continue spending a lot to buy them or the harvests will be greatly reduced.

The soil in our garden works like a living being and we must feed it as such, so if we only give it the plant nutrients we need, it becomes a barren ecosystem.
So creating organic fertilizers and applying them will not only give us better crops but we will improve the land. And it will also be much cheaper.
Today I wanted to propose a liquid fertilizer high in potassium. Potassium is one of the great nutrients of plants and promotes flowering. It is also necessary to have large and healthy fruits.
As I'm sure you all know, bananas are a food high in potassium. Banana skins are also and we usually throw them away.
And it is with this ingredient that we will very easily make our high potassium liquid fertilizer.
First we will cut the banana skins into 2 to 3 cm pieces, with the skins of 3 to 4 bananas enough. Then we will put a liter of water on the fire. When it starts to boil we will add the chopped skins. We will leave it on the heat for 20 minutes and then let it rest until it cools, a couple of hours will be enough. We will strain the infusion and put our fertilizer in a bottle.
With the remains you can give them to the chickens or throw them into the compost.
How will we apply it? Simple, for each liter of fertilizer we will add 2 liters of water. And that's it, we can use it to fertilize our plants. It is especially good for fertilizing flowering or fruiting plants. Mainly tomatoes, peppers, pumpkins or eggplants.
Thank you very much for supporting my blog and I look forward to your comments.!
