Watermelon Peels
Besides their culinary applications, watermelon peels can be a useful resource in the garden. They break down naturally and can contribute organic matter to compost.
1. Composting Watermelon Peels
Watermelon peels are a useful addition to a compost pile. Their high moisture content can contribute to the decomposition process, while the organic material adds to the finished compost.
Simply chop the peels into smaller pieces before adding them to your compost bin or heap. Mix them well with dry, carbon-rich materials such as leaves, straw, or shredded cardboard.
