Citrus peels
Do not throw away your used lemon or citrus peels, keep them aside and use the same for sowing seed. Firstly put a hole in the bottom part of the peel to ensure proper drainage and water the seed until and unless a seedling develops. Next, move the seeding aligned with the peel into a pot or your garden. The peel will automatically decompose and act as manure for the growing seedling.
