Gardening

Here is an easy and effective way to cure the black spots on leaves of your roses, flowers, and other plant leaves.
Make a solution of 1 part milk to 2 parts water. Pour this solution into a spray bottle. Spray on rose leaves or other leaves.
The trick? The lactoferrin in milk, which is a subfraction of whey protein, works great as a defungicide, inhibiting a wide range of fungus, bacteria and yeast.

1. Use dried coffee grounds around plants needing a nitrogen boost.

2. Crushed eggshells provide additional calcium for the soil.

3. At-home liquid fertilizer: Using seaweed and water in a container and allowing the seaweed to decompose (about two months) is an excellent source of potassium for the soil. Before applying it to your soil, dilute the seaweed as it will be concentrated.

Natural Fertilizers: Adding nutrient-dense composts and other soil alternatives, such as manure, will help feed your plants over a long period of time while making them less vulnerable to insects and diseases. An all-purpose organic fertilizer that releases slowly can be added about once a season, since they nourish your garden as they decompose.

Municipal Sludge (Biosolids): Although these are labelled organic, they have been found to include heavy metals and other toxic chemicals that can build up in your soil. Therefore, avoid these fertilizers.
