Instead of spending money on expensive fertilisers that end up damaging the soil, reuse these shells. During the summer, we will see how the plants begin to flower, as in the case of fruit trees, and this is thanks to the care we have taken over the previous months. Beyond watering, sun exposure and pruning, the application of fertiliser will also be key to strengthening the roots, and instead of opting for chemical products, we are going to share with you the trick for reusing avocado skins, which have a lot of benefits.
There are many products that can be used to fertilise plants, and we don’t just mean chemical products, but also other natural ingredients that will enrich the roots and the substrate with their properties. If you don’t want to spend money and are looking to make something homemade, you should know that avocado skins have a lot of benefits.

When we use avocados, we throw the skins away because we think they are useless, but what you may not know is that they contain a lot of nutrients and vitamins that you can use as compost or natural fertiliser to revive your plants. That’s why we’re going to share with you how to reuse these skins without spending any money.
How to apply avocado skins to plants
- Dry and crush the skins, so you’ll need to wash them well and let them dry in the sun.
- Add them to the soil, where you’ll need to mix the skin powder with the soil around the plants when planting.
- Add the crushed dried skins to the compost pile along with other organic materials.
The benefits of avocado skins for plants are that they provide a large amount of nutrients such as potassium, phosphorus and nitrogen; they improve soil structure, helping to improve aeration and water retention capacity in the soil; they promote microbial growth and stimulate flowering.
