I throw so much stuff away everyday, now I can use a lot of it to make my soil better & fertilize my veggies! I like how the book is organized with lots of great information up front & then for each recipe it explains why it works, which plants will benefit from it, what to combine with it& how to make it several ways. It's go a lot to work with. Any ideas for houseplants? Please write a book on homemade fertilizers for houseplants!
I was thinking of starting a garden this year and have never had very good luck before. I got some great ideas that I can't wait to try.
These are some really "down to earth" ways to fertilize! I got some great ideas and since I don't consider myself having a green thumb, this gave me a little boost in confidence that I can do this too! I would recommend this to any beginner or advanced gardener!
