cut the peels into small pieces

First of all, clean the peels of the watermelon and then cut them into small pieces so that they melt quickly. If you want, you can leave some of their red part also, so that the fertilizer will become more healthy. Put the peels in a large container and fill it completely with water. Add some jaggery also. Now cover the container lightly with a lid and keep it in the shade for two-three days. You can tie a cloth on top.

stir the water once daily

Leave the water containing the peels outside for about 3 to 8 days and stir it once daily. When the water starts looking light brown then filter it. Now this liquid fertilizer is ready. You can also use the remaining part of the peels as compost. Instead of applying fertilizer directly to the plants, dilute it with water. Mix one part of watermelon manure and the other part of water and use it. Apply it to the roots of plants only once or twice a week. By doing this, not only will the plants grow quickly but the plants will also bloom.
