Garlic is a familiar spice for everyone. In most households, you can’t go without a few bulbs of garlic stocked up for convenient use whenever needed. Garlic adds a wonderful aroma to dishes and provides many health benefits.
When using garlic, we often peel off the skins and use the garlic cloves inside. Many people throw away the skins, but this part also has significant value. You can utilize garlic skins for various purposes.
1. Feed for Poultry:
If you’re raising poultry such as chickens, ducks, or geese, you can mix garlic skins into their food. Garlic skins contain protein and allicin, which are beneficial for the health of poultry. Allicin has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, helping to strengthen the immune system of your animals.
2. Fertilizer for Flowers:
Growing flowers and ornamental plants has become a popular hobby for many people. A few pots of plants can brighten up your living space and bring vitality to the surroundings. Ornamental plants also help purify the air in the house, providing relaxation after a long, tiring day.
Caring for plants doesn’t require too many steps, but it’s important to water them daily and fertilize them regularly to ensure their growth and ability to produce flowers. You can use readily available materials from your home, such as fruit peels, eggshells, and even garlic skins, as fertilizers for your plants.
Garlic skins are rich in potassium, phosphorus, and other nutrients that help plants grow. Simply bury the garlic skins in the soil and let them decompose naturally, providing nourishment to the plants. The smell of the garlic skins can also repel insects and pests that harm the plants.
