Did you know about these incredible pomegranate skin applications in the garden? Read on to find out how it can help your plants!


What is in pomegranate skin & how does it help?


Pomegranate skin (Punica granatum) is rich in minerals such as magnesium (0.2 percent), calcium (0.1 percent), and potassium (1.6 percent), along with traces of ellagitannins,, flavonoids, proanthocyanidin compounds, and sodium and phosphorus. The skin also contains micronutrients such as copper, zinc, and iron, with a pH of 4.8.


Rich in potassium and magnesium, it promotes root growth, improves photosynthesis, enhances resistance to stress and drought, and helps increase plant protein content. By using this regularly your plants can get deep color and green growth!


1. Pomegranate skin as liquid fertilizer


Make small pieces of skin, add them to a blender with water and make a thick and smooth broth. You can also add a few pomegranate seeds as it contains hydrolyzable tannins, compressed tannins, flavonols, anthocyanins, phenolic and organic acids, and other important minerals that help in plant growth.


Therefore, it is better to mix some of its seeds with the skins when making liquid compost.


Take one part of this paste dilute it in five parts water and pour water on the plants each time.


Note: Pomegranate skin is high in potassium. So you can use fertilizer to feed your vegetables like tomatoes, broccoli, and cabbage. The skin contains magnesium, so you can apply fertilizer to roses, annual flowers, ferns, and pepper plants.


2. Spraying pomegranate skin fertilizer



You can use pomegranate peels to create this DIY foliar spray. This would be a great incentive for lush greenery. For this, you will need pomegranate peels, Epsom salt, egg yolks, and water.


3. Dry compost pomegranate skin


According to a study by the University of Vigo in Spain, pomegranate skin contains micronutrients and valuable bio-compounds. All these give a good impetus to the overall growth of the plant.


Cut off the skins, spread them on newspaper, and place them on a sunny balcony.

The drying process removes moisture without reducing the nutritional value.

Grind the dry skins in a grinder and make a powder.

This powder can be stored in an airtight container and used at any time.


Instructions for applying pomegranate peel powder:


Once in 5-8 weeks, spread 2-3 teaspoons of this powder in pots around the base of the plants. For garden plants, use 4-5 tablespoons per plant.


4. Pomegranate skin tea elixir


Prepare this quick-release fertilizer that can be used as a foliar spray. To make this tea, add 100 g of pomegranate peel to a bowl, fill with 2 liters of water and cover with a muslin cloth.


Place the jar in a bright and dry place for 4-5 days. When finished, dilute the tea in another 2 liters of water and apply the leaf spray on the plants.


5. Pomegranate skin in the compost pile



Pomegranate skins are biodegradable and break easily, so add them to the compost pile. Be sure to chop or soak the skins before adding them to the compost, do not add them whole.


6. For more delicious herbs


This research has found that pomegranate skin (PP) as an organic fertilizer has a positive effect on the growth of essential oil content in sage plants (Salvia officinalis).


The idea is that pomegranate skin can be fertilized with other herbs such as basil, rosemary, coriander, and oregano. This will enhance their flavor and aroma while keeping them green.


7. Control plant diseases


To protect the plant from many potential soil diseases, add the skins to a mixture and grind well. Apply this to lateral plants. You can also make a paste by adding water to the powder and applying it to the stems of garden plants to prevent bacterial and fungal infections.


The use of pomegranate peel around plants is an eco-friendly approach to prevent viral plant pathogens and infections. The use of pomegranate juice works on the storage and shelf life of citrus fruits in pre-and post-harvest diseases.


Its juices also have a variety of antimicrobial effects. Furthermore, the widespread availability of pomegranate peel as a by-product of the processing industry contributes to its low cost. It's eco-friendly too!

Once your single containers are ready to merge It's hard to fail with a group of containers. Any size group, from a simple couple to large multiples, can enhance any outdoor space. Open patios and decks become softer and more intimate when you place pots around them. A straight and simple outdoor path lined with containers can become a wave of sorts—a formal one with some plants or an informal path with others.
