Homemade fertilizer: Organic fertilizer could be easily made by using Epsom salts available at home which will act as nourishing agent for your vegetables, fruit trees and flowers.
Homemade insecticide: We should always remember that not all bugs are bad and need to be sure that we are targeting bugs we actually want to kill. Often substances like garlic, molasses, hot peppers, etc. can also be used to act as insecticides.
Homemade fungicide: Most interestingly we can often target very specific diseases with homemade fungicides. Like if we want to control Powdery Mildew we can just steep some Chives in the water.
Weed Control: A weed is any unwanted plant that grows alongside other plants and often take their share of nourishment to survive. There are many household things than can be used to kill weeds, like table salt (we need to be careful in area and quantity of salt to be used).
Composting: Compost is enormously valuable around the garden area. Organic matter is adding to the soil as it serves as mulch for plants and controls soil moisture adding nutrients.
Vermi-composting: Vermi-composting is means of using earthworms to expedite the process and to make richer compost for our garden. The microorganisms in the earthworm break downs the food. The usefulness of these microorganisms to the soil is immense.
Compost Tea: This is the best homemade liquid fertilizer which is easily available. We can use compost from vermin-composting to make compost tea and use the diluted version of the resulting liquid, for our plants. Compost tea is usually recommended for spraying on to the plants for control of fungal diseases. One should soak the compost for at least 2 weeks before taking into use.
Soil improvement: Getting the most nutritious and flavorful food would depend upon the quality of soil in your garden. We can easy enhance the quality of the soil by not rushing in planting our crops frequently. This means that we should take time to prepare the most important part of our garden and slow down just enough to prepare the seed bed properly.
Homemade houseplant fertilizer: We can also get lush green houseplants by using homemade products. You can try using black coffee diluted 1:4 water every 2 weeks for better results.
