so im making my own organic nutes from fruit peals

Lemon Peals
Bananna Peals
Orange Peals
Will this be enough? there like 10 oranges, 10 lemons and 6 Banannas. Are all of these things healthy for my plants?
Thanks Guys

what are you planning on doing to the fruit peels?

grinding them into basicaly sand, and them mixing them to the potting soil, i read that the banana peals work. Im just not sure about the orange and lemon. My only concern is that the peals might be bad for the plants?
Idc if they distort the taste, its white widow so it doesnt taste that great anyway

erm .. use the money on some cheap tomato nutriens insted of 10 bananas .. or even better some good organic nutriens made for weed or similar ..

need to compost them things for it to work proberbly ..

if you want to make a organic soil mix .. get stuff like blood/bone meal .. Lime .. Epsom salt .. Kelp meal ..humus .. tea/coffee grouds aso.

atlest do some more research .. if you want great tast .. look in to black strap molasses .. nice to use in flowering ..

I think you will get mold issues, and it would take too long for the nutrients to become available for absorption...if you want to make your own fertilizer, read up on composting, worm culture, compost teas and fermented plant extracts (fermented nettle extract is easy to make and is very effective). Worm bins are easy to make and maintain, and worm castings are great fertilizer.

If you grind them up and bury them, they will compost over time (or attract worms who will eat them up), however it won't break down fast enough to be useful to your current grow. Instead, toss them in a compost bin along with your grass trimmings and leaves (avoid weeds or plants with seeds), turn the compost weekly, then in 2-3 months you'll have fresh earth that you can use as a mulch to top off your garden.

Cheap organic nutrients aren't hard to come by. Home Depot sells two products I really like. One is Alaska Fish Fertilizer (5-1-1) + Alaska MorBloom (0-10-10) and the other is Kellogg All Purpose Organic Fertilizer (4-4-4). The Alaska ferts is getting such a good following I'm starting to see it in a bunch of high end hydro shops next to the bat quanos and roots organic nutrients. Alaska Fish Fertlizer cost $6-$8 and the MorBloom cost $8-$11. Where as the Kellogg All Purpose Fertilizer costs $6-$8 for a 4 lb bag. I like the Kellogg better only because it's dry and seems to last a long time. I only need to apply it 2-3 times a year for good results.

I would hate to think what orange and lemon peels would do to pH.

don't use the orange and lemon peels, did someone say they will taste like citrus if you do?

Depending how picky you are about defining the term organic, you'll want to make sure that you're using organic fruit or it's going to make your mix non-organic.

www.espoma.com Great source for inexpensive organic nutes for the beginner. Get your feet wet, learn how orgnics work before you go trying to "make" your own ferts. You can get Espoma products at most any good gardening center/nursery, Lowes or Home Depot. Very inexpensive and great products. Best bang for the buck around IMHO.

Also, there are other organic gardening sites around. The helpful gardener http://www.helpfulgardener.com/phpBB2/ is a wealth of organic info. Read, do your research, and learn about organics, and the soil food web. Read "Teeming with Microbes", and this is one of my recent finds: http://www.gardeningwithmicrobes.com/index.shtml Be sure to check out the link to the Compost Teas Yahoo Group!

definitely put those items in a bucket with about ten gallons of clean water with some molasses and bat guano and stir everyday for about a week to make a fermented compost tea you will get the benefits faster with this tehnique and it also keeps it 100% organic
