What are the advantages of onion peel fertilizers?
This natural fertilizer has a rich vitamin composition, it contains nicotinic acid, which has a positive effect on the growth of plants and the development of the root system.
In the composition of fertilizers based on onion husks, phytoncides are present, which have a harmful effect on bacteria, and also stop the development and spread of fungi.
This natural nutrition also contains such an important substance as boron, without which apple trees, strawberries and tomatoes cannot fully develop.
