Creating Natural Onion Peel Fertilizer

Gathering onion peels is the initial step. Save the skins while cooking, preferably from organic onions to avoid pesticide residues. Once a sufficient quantity is amassed, it’s time to commence the maceration process.

Place the harvested onion peels in a blender, add a bit of water, and blend until a pasty consistency is achieved. Water aids in extracting nutrients from the peels. The next step involves dilution, with the recommended ratio being 1 part onion peel solution to 5 parts water. Adjust the dilution based on your plants’ specific needs.

With the solution prepared, application follows. Pour it directly at the base of plants or utilize a sprayer for even distribution over leaves, taking care to avoid excess application to prevent the risk of burns.
