Choose a Location: Pick an area where plants need a nutrient boost.
Prepare the Soil: Dig a small trench or hole about 15–20 cm deep.
Add the Peels: Lay citrus peels flat at the bottom of the hole.
Sprinkle Lime: Add a bit of dolomitic lime to reduce acidity and balance the pH.
Cover and Wait: Refill the hole with soil and let the mixture decompose naturally.
Planting and Tips
Allow the soil to rest for 2–3 weeks before planting.
Don’t bury too many peels in one spot—spread them throughout the garden.
Water with filtered water if your tap water is hard or chlorinated.
Combine with other kitchen scraps (like coffee grounds or veggie peels) for better compost.
Conclusion
Using citrus peels in your garden is a sustainable way to boost soil fertility and protect your plants. With just a few simple steps, you can turn everyday kitchen waste into garden gold.
