Most people throw away cucumber peels. But we don’t realize the nutritional value and abundance of antioxidants, minerals and vitamins contained in these vegetable peels.
Typically, when you prepare a cucumber, you peel it and, once cut into thin slices, throw away the peels. It’s time to stop this bad habit, because cucumber peels have many benefits.
Start by helping your plants grow quickly. To do this, simply place fresh cucumber peels in a container with water and leave the peels to soak for five days. Once filtered, this magical water can be used to water plants .
It helps plants have healthy growth because it is rich in potassium and phosphorus, all elements necessary for the healthy development of plants. If you use this water for three weeks, you will see excellent results in a short time.
Natural insect repellent
You can place cucumber peels directly into the plant’s soil to discourage ants from eating the leaves and damaging the plant. Cucumbers contain an alkaloid that acts as a natural insect repellent. In this way, cucumber peels can help you keep ants away because the alkaloid contained in cucumbers acts as a natural repellent.
You can also scrub the damp underside of walls and floors to keep ants away from your balcony.
