1. Lactobacillus Serum
Harness the power of beneficial bacteria with lactobacillus serum. This natural fertilizer is simple to make and effective for a variety of crops. Here’s how:
- How to Make: Combine equal parts of milk and rice wash water in a jar. Let it ferment for a few days until it develops a sour smell.
- How to Use: Dilute the serum with water in a 1:20 ratio and sprinkle it around the base of your plants. The beneficial bacteria improve nutrient absorption and promote vigorous growth.
2. Eggshell Fertilizer
Eggshells, rich in calcium carbonate, are perfect for plants that need a calcium boost, like tomatoes.
- How to Make: Collect and rinse eggshells, then crush them into small pieces.
- How to Use: Sprinkle the crushed eggshells around the base of your tomato plants or mix them into the soil. This slow-release calcium helps prevent issues like blossom end rot by supporting cell division, enzyme activation, and disease resistance.
3. Dairy Products for Calcium
Milk isn’t just for drinking; it’s also a fantastic fertilizer.
- How to Make: Dilute milk with water in a 1:4 ratio.
- How to Use: Water your tomato plants with this mixture regularly. The calcium fortifies plant cell walls, preventing blossom end rot and bolstering overall plant health.
4. Vitamin C Solution
Vitamin C isn’t just for humans—plants benefit from it too, especially tomatoes.
- How to Make: Crush a 500 mg vitamin C tablet and dissolve it in 1 gallon (3.8 liters) of water.
- How to Use: Apply the solution to the soil around the tomato plants’ roots or spray it directly on the leaves for foliar absorption. Repeat every 2-4 weeks during the growing season to maintain nutrient levels.
5. Banana Peel Compost
Banana peels are loaded with nutrients, particularly calcium, potassium, and phosphate.
- How to Make: Cut up banana peels and add them to your compost pile or steep them in water for a few days to create a nutrient-rich liquid fertilizer.
- How to Use: Pour the banana peel tea around the base of your plants or mix the compost into your soil to encourage healthy growth and fruit production.
