Home made plant food, from plants-

I heard from someone around here, that you can germinate in aloe vera.

Remembered an article in the farmers almanac…

Made some aloe mixed with neem, and did a foliar-

Saw another article about using leftover water from boiling vegetables-

Mixed up leftover water from boiling asparagus, with aloe pulp, and fed it to my favorite plant in flower, but noticed I didn’t dilute it enough, and had to flush it…

Collected hot runoff, and diluted it,and fed it to my vegating plants.

Seems like they love it-

Now I’m ready to try plant food from banana peels :slight_smile:

Just fed my plants banana water today! Eat a banana everyday and toss them in mason jars with water and let them sit in fridge. Shake them daily. After 5-7 days of adding banana peels it should be good to go.

I just add it in my compost teas an hour or two before I feed plus I add into my soil when I make it and right when I hit flower. Sometimes I dry peels out in the oven at 180• for a hour or two then a light broil and blend them up to a dust! I do that to my egg shells too.

Aloe should work good for germination and it works even better when cloning

Castor bean leaves, 4 to 5 medium leaves and leave for 3 to 7 days to ferment in a bucket with 10 liters of water. it is insecticide and fertilizer. Start well diluted to find the optimal dose.
Use aloe, mainly for spraying.

Editing: Sorry for the lack of attention or explanation. Castor oil is used as a laxative before modern remedies. Not necessarily a food, but…

I’m planning a comfrey bed in the back yard.
Seems like a great plant to have around.

Dry banana peels in the AZ sun for a couple days then grind the peels into a powder. I have an old nutribullet blender that I use just for grinding up plant food.

A couple teaspoons of the powder in a 5 gallon pot of soil adds an awful lot of potassium- at least on paper. ,:sunglasses:

Powered Bannana is a great idea.
