Free Liquid Plant Food It's right there in your Kitchen. And you throw it away. . . every day.
Question: Which nutrients do plants need? Answer: Exactly what's inside them now. . . Exactly what's in your Kitchen Garbage !
If you have a Garbage Disposer in your Kitchen Sink, you can bet that plants are growing like the dickens wherever your sink drainage ends up. It may be time for a Garbage Pail.
These discarded Veggies can contribute to the good health of your Plants, indoors ond outdoors.
Any
plant matter makes great Liquid Plant Food. But meats and fats should
not be used. Keep enough liquid so all material is kept wet. Water can be added.
It is best to let the garbage age a week or two, which
allows it to decompose and release more nutrients to the liquid. Then
stir it vigorously to suspend the sediment (which is very high in
nutrients) in the liquid.
A Colander or Strainer can be used
to separate the liquid, which is dipped out with a cup or other
container. You can also pour the garbage into a dedicated Colander to
collect the liquid in a bucket. The remaining solids are great for
composting.
When you feed your plants, always stir the Plant
Food first to mix the very nutritious sediment into the liquid. There
is no fear of over-feeding as there is with commercial chemicals.
Potted Plants can be watered with it 100%.
Here a Wire Basket pressed into the Garbage Pail separates the liquid from the solids. A Tin Can dips it out.
Get even more nutrients by grinding garbage before you let it age. We sell a Homestead Hand Grinder for that purpose.
