My homemade fertilizer looks so gross but is magic for the soil – it won’t cost you a cent
A WELLNESS practitioner has shared her recipe for homemade fertilizer and it looks gross.
She said it was magic for the soil and would not put any pressure on your wallet because it won’t cost a cent.
The idea came from Philly (@phillyjlay1). She has over 42,000 followers and another 283,000 likes on her TikTok.
She should know what she is talking about when it comes to living a more natural life.
The English lady is the author of The Natural Wellness Journal and host of a podcast, The Wellness Way.
In this post, she focused on some special plant food: “Organic tomato feed,” she said.
Hers was a wholly toxic-free approach: “No chemicals here. And waste produce,” she wrote.
Everything in her recipe used household waste, but it didn’t look very appetizing.
“So I keep all my banana skins in the fridge in a bag because it’s a bit horrible, with some eggshells.”
She chucked all the ingredients into a blender: “I’ve had a smoothie and I don’t want to waste all those beautiful nutrients,” she said.
“So I’ve added a load of rainwater. Banana skins are really full of potassium so the tomato plants just love them,” she added.
The eggshells were excellent too: “They have calcium so that is also really good for the soil.”
Once it had been thoroughly mixed, she couldn’t pretend it looked very attractive.
But it didn’t matter: this stuff worked.
“Oh, this looks bloody gross,” she exclaimed. But it was an excellent: “Fertilizer for my tomato plants without chemicals.”
She wasn’t finished yet: “So I’m just going to add that to a load more rainwater and dig that into my tomato bed.”
This commenter liked her idea: “Looks great for tomatoes,” they said.
