Friends I say that if the soil is weak, your plants will also be weak.\u00a0 And so it follows that weak plants have poor production, resulting in losses with low quantity of low quality vegetables.<\/p>\n
Healthy Soil = Healthy Plants<\/strong><\/p>\n This means that you need to enrich your soil.\u00a0 Because most people are not making their own compost at home, they need to buy a fertilizer.\u00a0 Plant fertilizers purchased from the local nurseries often contain chemicals that may harm your plants. And also, these fertilizers can be a bit pricey. So why spend your hard earned money on these pricey fertilizers when you can make one yourself with just a little information?<\/p>\n Making your own organic plant enriching formulas is really easy and fun.\u00a0 It should be noted that most people understand that the best way to get good garden soil is to use compost to amend the soil.\u00a0 Of course, that is true.\u00a0 Compost can be made at home out of leftover food scraps and lawn clippings, and so it is virtually cost-free.<\/p>\n While it may not be the most exciting of gardening topics, nothing is more important than having a basic understanding of fertilizer.\u00a0 All fertilizers are classified into two basic categories: chemical\/synthetic \u2013 Inorganic and \u00a0or natural\/organic. I have discussed this in more depth in my previous video on NPK Crystals Fertilizer \u2013 the link is shown in description and also perhaps somewhere in a link towards top right corner of this video.<\/p>\n There are actually quite a few common items found in your kitchen, and elsewhere around the house, that can be used as plant fertilizer.<\/p>\n Water your plants with the aquarium water taken right out of the tank when cleaning it.\u00a0 Fresh<\/em> water only please, do not use water from a salt water tank.\u00a0 The fish waste makes a grreat<\/strong> plant fertilizer.<\/p>\n Bananas are not only tasty and healthy for humans, but they also benefit many different plants.\u00a0 When planting roses, bury a banana (or just the peel) in the hole alongside the rose.\u00a0 As the rose grows, bury bananas or banana peels into the top layer of the soil \u2013 that\u2019s called Top-soil. I have a separate video explaining what is Topsoil and subsoil in detail.<\/p>\n Anyways Both of these approaches will provide the much needed potassium that plants need for proper growth. So banana provide mainly potassium.<\/p>\n Many different nutrients are released into the water that food is cooked in.\u00a0 Water that is used to boil potatoes, vegetables, eggs, and even pasta can be used as a fertilizer.\u00a0 Just remember to let the water cool before applying it to your soil.<\/p>\n Egg shells are rich in Calcium and contain about 1% nitrogen, about a half-percent phosphoric acid, and other trace elements that make them a practical fertilizer.\u00a0 Calcium is an essential plant nutrient which plays a fundamental part in cell manufacture and growth.\u00a0 Most roots must have some calcium at the growing tips to grow effectively.\u00a0 Plant growth removes large quantities of calcium from the soil, and calcium must be replenished, so this is an ideal way to \u201crecycle\u201d your egg shells.\u00a0 Simply crush them, powder them, and sprinkle them around your garden soil.<\/p>\n 1 tablespoon of epsom salts can be combined with 1 gallon of water and put into a sprayer.\u00a0 Apply once a month, directly to the foliage for a quick dose of magnesium and sulfur.<\/p>\n Ashes can be sprinkled onto your soil to supply potassium and calcium carbonate.\u00a0\u00a0 Don\u2019t use ash in areas where you are trying to maintain acid-loving plants \u2013 the ashes are alkaline and can increase alkalinity in the soil.<\/p>\n A weak solution of green tea can be used to water plants every four weeks.\u00a0 Use one teabag to 2 gallons of water.<\/p>\n Have you ever wondered, Hair is a good source of nitrogen. \u00a0A good source for this hair is not only your hairbrush but also the local barbershop or beauty salon.\u00a0 Many of these establishments will save hair for your garden, if you ask them for it.\u00a0 But do not limit yourself to only human hair.\u00a0 Dog hair, horse hair, and cat hair also work very well.<\/p>\n The old fashioned easy strike matches are a great source of magnesium.\u00a0 To use this as a fertilizer, simply place the whole match in the hole with the plant, or soak the matches in water.\u00a0 The magnesium will dissolve into the water and make application easier.<\/p>\n Powdered milk is not only good for human consumption but also for plants.\u00a0 This source of calcium needs to be mixed in to the soil prior to planting.\u00a0 Since the milk is in powder form, it is ready for use by your plants.<\/p>\nSo, How to Make Your Own Homemade Organic Fertilizers \u2013 Today I am gonna list out the Top 10 ways to enrich your soil.<\/h2>\n
