Walnuts are not only tasty, but also extremely healthy.
Moreover, we are talking not only about the benefits for the body, but also about the use of all parts of the fruit, including the shell.
Let's figure out why smart housewives put walnut shells under plants and how this helps indoor flowers.
Benefits of Nut Shells
Flowers from nut shells are helped in the following way:
- retain moisture in the soil perfectly;
- are a source of iodine necessary for plants;
- protect against fungus gnats.
There are several ways to use this material for feeding flowers.
Mulch is made from nut shells by thoroughly grinding them into powder and scattering them over the surface of the soil.
Also, a drainage layer is made from the shells. To do this, they need to be broken into small pieces and sprinkled on the bottom of the pot.
The shell is also used as a nutritious additive to compost. For this purpose, it is also ground and added to the compost.
