There are so many things thats can be used to feed our soils and plants naturally. What do you use in your gardens? 🌿

Hello from Trinidad. Wow. Gorgeous and a genius with a giant green thumb.

[@cherylolsen4420]

Just come across your channel & now binging your vlogs , I thank you & so will my garden❤

[@melissahope5796]

Lots of great ideas! I have a whole bag of seaweed in my pantry and didn’t know what to do with it. I am making some fertilizer now with it! I love the weed tea too! I like all the ideas!

[@Samp50]

Wonderful ideas, one I can suggest is Onion peel water, while cooking the dry top layers are removed and form part of kitchen waste, but put those in a bottle after about a week or 10 days depending upon the weather they turn into a very potent fertilizer. Spray after dilution or pour directly in the ground after dilution..

Hello my friend I'm so very happy to watched you video and thank you for you share good intedting

[@barrywatler7482]

I hadn’t thought of using rice, pasta or other water on the garden, normally throw down the sink, I do use a lot of worm tea and castings as we have a few worm farms in our community garden, so interesting thanks for sharing. Cheers 🤩🤩

Hey Holly! I am a lifetime amateur cook and never thought to do a lot of what you suggested except for the use of kitchen scraps in my compost. I get coffee by the black plastic bag load for free from my local coffee shop and have just added it as a "green" component to my compost. I like the banana idea and the thought of not using any salt water in the garden which is both good for the plants and us in the long run as we use less salt in our cooking. I use a food processor to shred up my egg shells after leaving them to dry out for a day or two, but using a mortar and pestle would contribute to the days cardio. Sun's out guns out! I like your use of caster wheels under your pallet planters. i also noticed that you have the oval Japanese Cumquats. I make a Chicken and Cumquat tagine out of my cumquats. Also notice that you play Words with Friends with your fridge ;-) Thanks for taking the time to provide your viewers with such a great array of cheap organic fertilizing solutions. Cheers!

[@SustainableHolly]

Thanks Craig! Yes I love my Kumquat plant it’s one of my favourites! The caster wheels are such a great addition. So handy to move in the sun and shade!

Great information, thanks for sharing.

[@jessieelliott3157]

So many ideas. Im so excited to start trying some. I was wondering if you would mention wee tea. I have been a little grossed out and not desperate enough to try it, but we have an elderly friend with an amazing garden and he swears by watering down human urine and feeding it to his fruit trees. His trees do look healthy and productive.

[@thenaturepatch]

Loved this video so much, Holly!! So many awesome ideas for natural fertilisers! Thanks so much for sharing 💚🌿

[@SustainableHolly]

Thank you! 🌿 Yes there are! What are your go tos?

[@thenaturepatch]

@@SustainableHolly Definitely the chop and drop method, weed tea, coffee and banana fertiliser. They're all so good!

[@justafriend3408]

This is good

Hi Holly, I recently discovered your channel and love all your amazing info, as I began my first garden this spring and am trying to learn as much as I can about organic, regenerative gardening. Thanks for sharing your wisdom on the topic! 😍 I have a question regarding seaweed or kelp fertilizers. You mentioned that salt should not be used in the water for rice or pasta, bit since seaweed and kelp live on saltwater, would the salt content they would naturally be living in not negatively affect the garden? Just curious about this since I've heard so many gardening experts raving about sea veggies as a highly beneficial fertilizer. Thanks!

[@gardentours]

Very informative video. Thanks for sharing. I use compost, nettles, comfrey and worm towers. I will try the banana water after I've seen your video. 🌱🌱🌱💚

[@SustainableHolly]

Thank you, I appreciate it! Go bananas 🍌🌱

[@robbiemarino394]

Thanks so much for the informative video content! I'm really enjoying binge watching your videos. I was wondering if you have any information or knowledge on whether it is necessary to wash the salt content off seaweed prior to making seaweed tea? I have been making this for years after learning this from my grandfather as a child, however have recently come across information which has made me unsure what the best practice is. Thanks again! Robbie 🌻

[@simplelifewanted6278]

Some great ideas here! Have you tried nettle ? We use it here in Italy and it works a treat!!!

[@SustainableHolly]

Thank you! I haven’t yet as I don’t have any nearby but I will have to forage some 🌿

[@Treezyt1977]

Hi, great video! How often do you fertilise with each different one? Will it hurt to do a little every week or just leave it until plants are producing or in season?

[@SustainableHolly]

Every week or two would be fine for most! They aren’t very strong as most are mixed with water anyway. Especially if your putting in the garden it will be fine! Small pots I would spread it out a little more often.

[@sappir26]

Coffee grounds are also good to deter slugs.

[@SustainableHolly]

And feed the soil at the same time 🙌

[@georgebowman1060]

What about using instant coffee ☕??

[@amandabell7269]

is there anything that i shouldn't make a homemade tea/fertilizer with?? ❤️

[@SustainableHolly]

Hmm possibly I can’t think off the top of my head. Stay away from any meat or dairy products as you would with composting. Also plants or parts of plants that are poisonous to eat.

[@TruthHurtsHonestyMatters]

I don't understand the rice water when you cook rice there's no water left so you mean just boil some rice for a few minutes to get the nutrients out and then throw the rice away cuz I'm confused will you boil rice the water goes away can you explain cuz I'm confused

[@allon33]

You are on Fire.

[@SustainableHolly]

Haha thank you 😂

[@allon33]

@@SustainableHolly You should have more subscribers, and I'm sure you will.

[@carlduffin]

If you feed the soil, you won't need to make fertilizer teas.

[@SustainableHolly]

That is a way to feed soil.. especially if you are growing in containers
