Seven Nutrient-Rich Brews Your Plants Will Love [View all]

I've been looking around for additional ideas for brews I can make for my plants and I even did a Google search a few weeks ago and what I found was...lacking.

I have three cats and often buy litter in the big plastic pour containers. I recycle the used containers when I wash vegetables and lettuce. I like to pour the used water in them and use it later in the garden.

With the containers located conveniently outside my kitchen door in a shed, I often will put eggshells in them, as this is a known way to get more calcium to the plants. Ferns are known to love this treatment.

Then, of course, there are compost teas and manure teas one can make.

So I was looking around the net for novel ideas for potato containers, and I came across this site "tipnut." They had the article I was looking for, which is the subject of this post.

In addition, there are comments by readers. I intend to add Lyric's grandma's milk feeding solution using instant milk that is so popular on this forum. It is one with which I have had great success, and I look forward to using it again this year.
