Hi
I saw a recipe a while somewhere that said that oranges can be you’d as a pesticide & fertiliser. It went something like this:
Peel & separate 2kg of oranges
Place in large pot
Place on boil for 10 mins
then simmer, while continuing to mash, adding water when liquid reduces.
Once all segment are mashed to a pulp, let cool.
Strain
Pour into a plastic container for storing.

USAGE: 1 2 10 parts
orange 2 water

I have looked & looked & looked & can’t find that recipe.
My question to you is; am I remembering it correctly, is it both peel & flesh & do you boil it?

I throw my citrus peels in the garbage dispenser to fight odors, so even without composting, they still go to good use.

got 3 lugs of dented bruised oranges. I am juicing but the fruit inside the peel is good!
Want sugar free low carb ideas of what to do with fruit.
Freeze on trays? Not into ice cubes with juice.. Help

I layer my dustbin size closed compost bin and have noticed that when orange or easy peel citrus peel is in direct contact with a layer of lawn grass cuttings the peel or sections of whole fruit seem to break down noticeably faster than when in a layer of pure vegetable or garden fllower cuttings. Is this a valid observation?
