A good day to all of you my fellow gardeners out there, I hope you have a great day so far. I've been engaging in gardening for a long time and I'm a fan of using organic fertilizers to be applied to my plants.
Just like what I applied to my string beans before which I used the leaves of Madre Cacao that is a source of nitrogen. It went well so far and made my plant to grew healthy and giving me a lof of yields now.
I did it also to my chillies that's why they are doing well now also and has a lot of fruits already. I've been searching on the internet what are the other things that I can use to make an organic fertilizers and I stumble on banana parts which is rich in potassium. Potassium plays a great role in plants growth that's why whenever we have ripe bananas, I'm not throwing it away and putting it directly to my plants.
This time we have ripe bananas and I used it's part to make an organic liquid fertilizer. As you can see in the photos I sliced it in small sizes. The parts I used are banana peels and the part where it's fruits is intact.
After slicing both of it, I put it in a container then poured a hot water and tap water later on. I put it in one corner in our house anf covered it. I will let it sit there overnight and I will use it tomorrow to water my chillies.
Before I forgot, I also added egg shells. Just like the banana parts, I did't throw away it's shells whenever we have eggs here. I pulverized it using a stone and I added it on the container. With that I will have calcium.
Preparing the area where I will plant my chayote.
As you have read in my blog the other day that my chayotes had grown very well already and starting to climb up. That's why this day after I did that above, I immediately prepared the area where I will permanently place it.
Since there's a guava beside the area which can shade my plant later on, I trimmed it's branches. My cousin was the one who took photos of me doing it but the result is not that well and here it is.
I also get some bamboos that will serve as their permanent poles. I will assemble it in a way wherein the fruits of the chayote will hang.
While I was cleaning off the branches that I cut, there are creatures that I met which gave me chills hihi.
Well who's not if you encounter a creature like this. I bet this one is deadly. just look at those spikes. Who knows what will happen if it contact your skin or your eyes, oh my.
And another creatures also which are racing who will reach the end first haha. That's what they are doing when I'm trying to capture them. I didn't dare to touch those since I know that they can harm me so I just let them there and throw them away. I didn't kill them since they have a life also and believe me , other people will kill it with no hesitation just because they are harmful( if you touch them ofcourse lol).
So leave them be wherever they are in order for you to be safe and will not blame them afterwards.
That's what happened today and I thank you once again for reading.
-Plant, plant and you'll survive.
