ONION PEELS GOOD AS MANURE BUT HOLD ON!

If you have a garden, there's hardly any kitchen wastes. Even your onion peels/remnants are very good in manuring some crops such as the different pepper plants - chilli,  habanero, yellow pepper, cayenne,scent leaves - basil, curry leaves, tomatoes etc. Any crop you want to put some spiciness.

But hold on, if you have already planted the crops, you can't just pour the peels and remnants you cut out and pour straight.

If you use in manuring while fresh, it can sorely affect the growth of the plant - the leaves turn yellowish, even brownish and  plant would appear dying.

If you don't stop manuring with fresh onion remnants and other spices like fresh ginger peels, those plants may actually die. I have had such issues of pepper plants almost dying and after giving up on them, surprise! They came back to life very vigorous. Further investigation then revealed what happened.

But those pepper plants are so spicy and taste  great especially when used to spice any food.

So you may consider drying the remnants of onions you have - a few days of sun-drying is okay depending on intensity of the sun. Once dry, pour into the soil and await the fruiting of your spicy peppers.

If you've not planted the crops, you may dump while fresh in the soil surface or use in making compost with other wastes. Aĺow some time before planting.

Onion wastes are good source of minerals for the crops grown on such soil enriching your garden plants with good nutrients for human consumption. .

See that pepper plant in the picture just starting to fruit - I had given up on it as dead. After I discovered the fresh onion peels or remnants were what affected it's growth and I stopped, it bounced back. It's fruiting for the first time in many months - tasted a few of its peppers in spicing food and it's really nice.

So, zero onion  wastes -  more spice to your garden peppers and scent leaves - remember to first dry the onion remnants if adding to soil with crops already planted.
