I’m an urban farmer – I make my own fertilizer for free, and all you need is an old sock
AN urban farmer has shared his gardening tips that are both affordable and can be found in your laundry basket.
He makes his own plant fertilizer for free and one of the materials is a regular old sock.
Content creator Spicy Moustache (@spicymoustache) enjoys cooking, gardening, and foraging.
He took viewers into his garden to share simple hacks to improve the health of your plants.
In the TikTok video, he shared the benefit of making your own fertilizer.
First, he advised viewers to delve deep into the soil to acquire roots from a comfrey plant.
“Comfrey roots amass essential minerals in a form that can be easily absorbed by plants,” he said.
For a cost-free fertilizer, he told his audience to chop the roots into small pieces, put them into an old sock, and immerse them in a container of water.
He also explained to his audience the perk of switching to copper tools because they don’t have an independent magnetic field and are more sensitive to the earth’s magnetic forces.
Lastly, he said that worm casting provides the “perfect nutrients and adds up a biodiversity of micro-organisms to the soil.”
Over three million TikTok followers come to the content creator for his relevant and budget-friendly advice.
“This guy is so cool,” a viewer commented.
“Ahhh bro you inspire me,” a fan praised.
“You have inspired me to begin growing so much more in my little garden,” another added.
“I learn so much from you!! Thank you,” a TikTok user complimented.
