Homemade Compost Accelerator
Help! The Compost is full and you’re having a hard time turning yard waste. It’s usually jam packed after the winter thaw and you’re antsy to prepare the flower beds and pots. The less soil you need to buy the better, right? 4 ingredients help speed up the process, great results in a few days.
When the Compost is mature (no smell), you can feed your plants Compost Tea. Just fill half of a big bucket with non-chlorinated Water (or let it sit overnight) then add a couple of shovels of Compost. Let it seep a few hours, then serve your green customers, they’ll love it. That’s the simple recipe, if you want to spend more, you can add unsulfured Blackstrap Molasses, Kelp & Fish Fertilizer too.
Homemade Lawn Food
I used to spend $40 for FABULAWN, a time released lawn fertilizer. Luckily Chemistry Cachet came up with this strange concoction ofBeer, Baby Shampoo, Epsom Salts, Club Soda and Ammonia. Cool thing about Alexis, she explains the function of each ingredient and assures us that it is not toxic to pets. I was a bit nervous to try it at first but I use it monthly without burning the grass. I don’t have a fertilizer container that attaches to the hose so I’m the funny lady that dilutes and applies it manually with a giant watering can. I have to repeat this a couple times despite having a tiny lawn. I have the sprinkler set up before I start so I can quickly finish the process unbeknownst to nosy neighbors. Since we’re semi-desert scorching hot here, I mow my clover-grass lawn early, fertilize and soak well with the sprinkler before it gets too warm.
