Liquid Fertilizer Grow Homemade Fertilizer Recipe - is it good or bad?
My wife makes her own homemade fertilizer which looks disgusting.
She places egg shells, banana peels , whatever green vegetable scraps she has on hand, coffee and coffee grounds, some Epsom salt and Liquid Seaweed into a large pot of water and lets it cook for a while.
After that she strains the liquid into a bucket, adds it to water to use for water out plants
It all looks pretty gross so I'm wondering do you think this concoction is as good, better or worse than if she just used Miracle Grow?
She's using it on some newly planted rose bushes,citrus trees (two lemon meyers and a lime) , a fig tree, Magnolia tree, pecan tree and a Loquat Tree. It's too soon to tell if this stuff is doing any good.
Thanks!
She does end up putting all this garbage in a compost after boiling it.
Sorry, she doesn't Boil it.. my bad, said that after I read Mathew's statement. She just cooks it at a medium heat for a while.
It probably does look gross, but your plants will love it. And she's making use of things that would otherwise just be thrown away. Give her bonus points for that.
