Vegetable peelings…Sprouts/potatoes/Ca… etc. Will this make suitable fertiliser for Runner Beans?
many gardeners make a trench in the Autumn and through the winter put organic material in the trench.before filling in the trench sprinkle some bone meal in the trench then fill in.at planting time use a general fertiliser on the top soil.runner beans can drop the flowers in dry conditions and the theory is the organic material in the trench will keep the roots moist and perhaps stop the flower drop.
Another way you can use the peelings in your garden is to make a trench alongside the rows you are going to plant in. Lay your scraps in the trench and cover it with dirt. The bacteria in the dirt will start to compost the peelings and the nutrients will leach over and be picked up by the plants next to the trench. You have to make sure that you have enough distance between the trench and the planting row. I would have at least 6 inches between them, to make sure the composting process doesn’t cook the roots of your vegetables. You can put a trench on both sides of your planting rows, so that the plants will benefit on both sides of the roots.
