Many people throw away tangerine peels, considering them useless.
Experienced gardeners have a different opinion, believing that the peel can be useful in earthworks.
An expert of the MOS SMI portal, agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh will tell you why it is important to collect tangerine peels.
If you collect orange and tangerine peels throughout the winter, then with the arrival of spring and summer, such a collection can act as fertilizer for plants.
The thing is that citrus zest contains a huge amount of pectin, which perfectly absorbs moisture. Thanks to this, plants receive the necessary amount of moisture from the tangerine peel.
Tangerine peel can be used immediately after the snow melts. To do this, place it in trenches and planting holes.
Before adding the peel, it must be prepared by drying it in advance and treating it with biological preparations.
Now you know why gardeners collect tangerine peels.
