Never cook onion infusion in reserve. It must be used within a few hours of preparation. Otherwise, the decoction will simply “turn sour” and will not bring any benefit to the plants.

Dry scales are introduced into the soil in the spring before digging. It can also be added directly to the holes before planting seedlings or seeds. To do this, it should be crushed and mixed with ash. Such a composition not only nourishes the soil useful substances and repel pests.

Fertilizer for tomatoes and cucumbers

Now a lot of people are talking about the benefits of using natural fertilizers allowing to grow organic vegetables and fruits. Useful properties of onion peel have been used in crop production since ancient times.

Some of the main advantages of onion peel as a fertilizer are:

Spraying a tomato once a week accelerates the formation of ovaries. If the leaves of tomatoes began to turn yellow, it is worth carefully treating the bush with infusions and the problem will recede. When watering seedlings after planting in the ground, 500 milliliters of infusion is used for each well, as the plant grows older, the dosage is tripled.

After pouring a decoction of onion peel under the tomato, the plant must be well watered.

Onion peel is very convenient to use for feeding cucumbers, a double effect is obtained - fertilizer and protection from aphids and other pests.

For growing carrots or potatoes, chopped onion skins can be added directly to the hole or ditch before planting. Plants will be reliably protected from pests and will receive excellent top dressing.

This is an excellent fertilizer for indoor plants. It is better to use onion broth at the rate of a small handful of husks and 1500 milliliters of warm water. The solution is boiled for about 7 minutes, then cooled and filtered. And the miracle remedy is ready.

When preparing the solution, you need to understand that each variety of onion differs in its composition of nutrients, which is reflected in the components of the onion peel. Therefore, you should not strive to maintain the exact proportions for the preparation of the infusion.

There is a special component in the husk - quartzetin, which provides its bitter taste. The infusion can be diluted as long as this bitterness is felt. If it is gone, then the concentration of the solution is very low and will not benefit the plants.

Freshly prepared solution has the greatest benefit, so you should not store the decoction for more than a day. Do not throw away the remaining cake after filtering the broth, it still has a lot of useful substances. Better dig it under fruit trees or shrubs.

Other ways to use onion skins

Since ancient times, onion peel has been used as a natural dye in cooking and confectionery.

It also has onion peels medicinal properties, so various medicines are prepared from it.

Maybe someone will need ... I think helpful information I'll try next year.

When drying and peeling onions, a lot of husks remain. I always collect it ... even in winter, when I peel onions for food, I put the dry husks in a box. When planting seedlings of tomatoes and peppers, I put a good handful of husks and humus in each hole, mix it, put a small layer of soil on top, then put the seedlings taken out of the cup with a clod of earth in the hole. Onion peel prevents the development of many diseases of nightshade crops. It turns out that onion peel is universal, it can be used more than once. After preparing a decoction, infusion or dye, do not throw away the husk, but use it as an organic fertilizer and you will definitely get good harvest vegetables.

The husk is not only a fertility stimulant, but also an antiseptic that helps in pest control. Used husks can be put into compost. It is also known from popular experience that in order to combat the Colorado potato beetle, which destroys potato plantings, onion peels are buried next to the plants - the beetles cannot stand its smell.

I soak the onion peel and then put it under the eggplant bushes ... the bushes are clean, no Colorado bugs)) Put a handful of husks in the hole when planting tomatoes, cabbage, potatoes. Many of us throw away onion skins, but in vain ... because this is a very valuable thing. Here, to destroy the spider mite, many have not tried anything ... but you only need 10 g of onion peel, pour warm water, leave for five days and sprinkle the necessary plants.

It is known that even three liters of infusion is enough to replace dozens of pesticides. I tried to somehow add onion peel to the ground in which I plant seedlings, some summer residents claim that this saves seedlings from the “black leg” disease. Onion infusion is also good for watering cucumbers. Especially when the leaves begin to turn yellow, you need to add two large handfuls of husks to a bucket of warm water, bring to a boil and leave it to cool. When the infusion has cooled, then take 2 liters of this infusion in a bucket of water and water cucumbers and zucchini from a watering can. Last year I conducted an experiment ... I put a lot of onion peel in a bucket and filled it with water (ordinary, not boiling water) and put it in a greenhouse. I noticed that there are no aphids on plants and other different midges. Sometimes I dip a whisk into this explosive mixture and sprinkle cucumbers and peppers on the leaves. Tomatoes, cucumbers and carrots, watered with infusion of husks, respond well. There is a noticeable increase in yield.
