The leftover food and drink at home is used to compost and grow flowers, which is not only environmentally friendly, but also saves money.

Some friends think that it will be very troublesome to spend half a year to make some compost, and it only costs a few yuan to buy a bag of fertilizer in the florist, so why so fertile? but friends who really like growing flowers organically don't think so. what is the pursuit of growing flowers? it is not to buy a pot of flowers and enjoy them every day, but to take care of them every day and watch them grow up. The most important thing is the process of maintenance, don't you think?

1. Compost of vegetable leaves and pericarp

Home cooking leaves and heads can be stored, leftovers should not be mixed in, if you are digging a hole in the yard, so that you can put all the leftovers in, here we prepare no smelly compost, so only need to prepare some clean leaves and eat leftover peel, these things should be cut up as much as possible, it would be better if they are organic vegetables or organic fruits Because the vegetable leaves and peels with too many pesticides must have a great effect on composting.

2. Eggshell

Eggshell is a very good calcium supplement, other eggs are not so easy to use, but be careful how to use them, do not put the whole eggs in, let alone bury some rotten eggs directly in the soil, then you will wait for worms to grow.

The right way is to wash the eggshell, then dry it, break it up after drying, preferably crush it into powder, so that it can be mixed into the soil, it will not grow worms, and it will decompose faster. This is the fastest fertilizer I have ever tried.

3. Tea residue

Life and leftover tea dregs are directly thrown into the basin soil, do you think it can add nutrients to the basin soil? In fact, this is very wrong, because the tea residue has not been decomposed, it is not possible to throw it directly into the soil, it will grow worms, or burn the roots.

The correct use method is to mix the tea dregs directly into the compost, add the right amount of soil, seal directly with a durable plastic bag, mix the appropriate moisture, put it in the corner, and the fermentation can be completed in 3 or 5 months.

4. Traditional Chinese medicine residue

It is impossible to often use the residue of traditional Chinese medicine to make compost, because the composition of traditional Chinese medicine is so high that it is impossible to popularize it. Only friends who can easily obtain the residue of traditional Chinese medicine are suitable for making it. They can directly mix some soil, add some water, and ferment directly in a compost bucket, which can be turned into a very useful fertilizer for growing flowers.

5. Coffee grounds

Coffee grounds are also good flower-growing materials. If they are strong plants, they can be put directly into the soil, but be careful not to let coffee grounds come into direct contact with the roots of plants, but to separate them.

Of course, the more conservative and effective method is to use soil mixed compost before use, after fermentation and decomposition, it will not generate heat, this is the most correct way to use coffee grounds.
