Homemade fertilizer
Don't throw away those eggshells because they can be used as fertilizers. Just throw them in a food processor and crush them until they turn into powder. It act as a good source of potassium and calcium for vegetables, flowers, and fruits. The crushed eggshells can be mixed in with the soil or scattered on top and around the plant.
I also have success with milk as a fertilizer. Once a week I mix one part of milk with 4 parts of water and spray it on the tomato leaves. Another tip from my mom is to save the water that you use to rinse the rice. The water has a milky color and it's supposed to have lots of nutrients.
Do you know any secret homemade fertilizer? I'd love to know about it!
First day of spring… finally!
Yay we made it! Today is the first day of spring but... what's this?
Anyway, I was thrilled to hear about the Obama's family plan of a new White House vegetable garden in their yard! Elementary school students are going to help out with this project and help plant fruits, vegetables, and herbs in the next few weeks. I can't wait to see pictures of the new vegetable garden!
