This post is like putting all natural fertilizers and pest control methods at one place...
The following discussed points are about the Homemade Fertilizers and pesticides that we get naturally possibly within the kitchen's reach.
Let us begin with Coffee Grounds..
The left out coffee grounds can be used as best fertilizer to plants, especially to the Acid Loving Plants, like rose, blueberries etc...just sprinkle the grounds around the base of the plants. Another thing is put these grounds into an old plastic bottle , add water and spray to your garden once a week... For more details about Coffee Grounds click here !
Fish Tank Water.....
Fish tank water has nitrogen and other nutrients essential for plants, so after cleaning the fish tank, use the water to your plants.
Manure....
If you have pets, like rabbit or guinea pig, then it's obvious that they are put in cages. Manure of these pets can be used as fertilizers to your plants. After the cages are cleaned the manure collected can be directly added to your garden. Along with the manure, the soil which is collected, acts as mulching and helps plants in retaining moisture and also receives nitrogen.
Eggshell..
Collect all the egg shells, wash them thoroughly and let them dry for a day. Then grind them into a,fine powder and apply to plants. The calcium carbonate present in eggshells is the main ingredient for plants.
Fireplace Ashes....
Fir place ash is rich in potassium. Just sprinkle over garden beds. One important thing is ...fire ash should not be used if the soil is Alkaline.( to know or test the type of soil ...please refer to my previous post on soil pH).
