NEVER Feed Milk to Plants or Bury an Egg in Garden Soil
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 08. 2018
- There are a lot of videos on CZcams recommending feeding milk to plants and there are articles recommending such practices as well. This is by far one of the worst gardening advice I have seen on the internet. There are also videos that recommend burying an egg under your plants. Milk and egg are meant to be consumed by animals and humans, not plants. Adding these foods directly to your plants will only lead to mold, fungus, and diseases. Milk, Eggs, or any dairy or meat should not added to your garden or your compost pile ever!! I mean ever!!! It will make your garden and compost pile rancid and it will smell really bad. Dairy and meat take a long time to decompose and they attract pests, they are not suitable for garden or composting.

I'm going to disagree with you on this one.your not taking into account ,that milk is pasteurized or raw. take a look at this site and let me know what you feel.also doage important.i wouldn't use pasteurized anywhere near my plants but raw that's a different thing. take a look at this site and let me know if it influences your decision about using milk. anyway the science is sound and I'm not going to disagree with it. www.motherearth.com/organic-gardening/milk-and-molasses-magic-zbcz1402 love your video,s by the way.
Glad you liked the video :) There are lots of sites like Mother Earth, Gardening Know How, etc. that recommend this. I believe they are more concerned about getting views to their site rather than giving out good information. I will only believe using milk (even raw) if there is a scientific research published by a reputable phd holder in the field. If the article is on .edu site, I will take that as well.
Now. I have cleaned thr leaves of house plants with a dust rag with a dip of milk and water mix, as it really makes the leaves shine, but no way would I ever directly "water" the plant with milk (ew), doesn't it stink after a while?
Same with eggs.
@@DaisyCreekFarms thank you!
Maybe the antibiotics in the milk are working. The precision agriculture uses lab engineered microbes to kill the existing soil microbes. So to say milk is good or bad isn't researched based.
Actually if you have powdery mildew on your zucchinis or pumpkins, milk and water sprayed onto the leaves right before the sun hits it will (combined with sunlight) change the ph balance on the leaves saving your plant. It really does work
Thsnks i lost many plant due to this
It also does work as fertilizer just no better or worse then any other organic matter
Heard that too (1 part milk to 8 parts water) i’m just afraid to try it!
Honey is also good for all plants this dude is a doink😂
@@rodneysamradli5287 Yeah this video is as flawed as it gets, ANY calcium increase helps tomatoes and the soil. Also when asperatied it becomes a different compound as what is in the cow. I started using this years ago and DOUBLED my crop and extended the growth season (I am in upper midwest US) and ended blossom rot that had been a problem every year and have never used pest control (okay I add diatomaceous earth to the soil).
I can not believe that he says this about things we have been doing for over 100 years here in the south in US..LOL Tried and true
I know right, that's like telling someone not to use fish emulsion for your plants. Animals die all the time and give the best nutrients to plants. Soil with a high level of microbiology can digest an egg yolk without worms, soil is carnivorous.
Yeah I been doing it for awhile now and I've had nothing but success
And as someone that has chickens... we have so many extra eggs.
My grandma didn't watch the Internet videos, and most certainly she didn't read scientific research. Yet, her garden was always healthy and bountiful. She used diluted milk and diluted whey as a fungicide on her tomatoes and cucs, just as she used baking soda and aspirin. For many, many years, and it worked for her. So don't be quick to judge. I was surprised to find out people burry fish heads underneath their tomatoes, and they say it works wonders for them. Though I won't try it, It doesn't mean I'l put my thin foil and say this is crazy. We have different agricultural heritages, and in most cases it's tried (for centuries) and true. We should be open-minded, as there is always a possibility of learning something new.
And organic companies like Neptune and others sell fish fert/sea kelp for a pretty penny. Gee. Wonder if nutrients in these things, when broken down over time could possubly have benefits in an age b4 ace hardware/lowes?
Some ppl dont understand pre internet wisdom
Well, the guy making the video clearly hasn't done any research, or even looked at the facts, commercial farmers have been fertilizing their fields with a milk manure mix since forever whenever milk can not be taken to market (common reason today is the milk tests to high in antibiotics).
Now during COVID there is a massive over production problem in the USA, so the FDA has approved wide spread usage of a milk/manure mix to be spread, and has advice in how to supplement and mix this.
So it's nice this guy thinks it's funny, but I guess I just wouldn't trust a fellow who can't even do a cursory google search to back up or refute his opinions.
@@DekeDieken What's the composition/research on milk/manure mix? 'Cuz Jag is talking about straight milk.
@@RobertJSparkles they have a chart for how much you need to adjust your fertilization rates (how much you use per acre) depending on percentages of each. You actually use less per acre as the milk percentage goes up, because milk is HIGHER in (I think) phosphates and nitrogen than manure.
I was just listening to an agricultural law podcast talking about it (because we have a huge overstock because school is out kids are drinking less milk). So I'm not sure on all the actual numbers, I was just looking for a video with instructions for perhaps using my own spoiled milk instead of throwing it down the drain.
valtosheva )
I buried an egg several years and now I have an egg tree. You've just gotta be patient.
Wat???😱😱
I also want an egg plant for eating
Lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤪
Yaya lol idiot
I buried a whole cow under my tomato plants. Now they got food for the whole year.
Your kidding me DUDE really waste a whole cow I prefer selling milk😮😮😲
@@rosachemwey2541 you going to eat one that died from natural causes? The USFDA frowns upon that.
There is a Australian youtuber buried a kangaroo to improve the soil.🤣
Omg really????🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
HAHAHAA
I use egg shells. It's a natural calcium supplement.
Me too. Problem is I need so much salt and water to wash it down
Me 3 lol
@@nickheredia1341 You made my day! Laughed so hard because of your reply. 😂😹🤣
Me tooo. I do it
You missed the point of how diluting milk as a spray can help treat fungal spots on plants like roses. Perhaps milk in good healthy soil is feeding certain micro-organisms ..... but you didn't even consider that.
nope not at all, homeboy needs to re learn some stuff
I have chickens that lay eggs. Not all the eggs are good for consumption due to the shells being compromised allowing bacteria inside the egg yolks. Rather than throw these eggs out I bury them in my garden and the plants LOVE them. I also use the straw from their bedding change in between the plants as a natural weed deterrent. It smothers the weeds and helps to fertilize the garden when rain filters thru the straw into the dirt.
I had a ton of tomatoes this summer and ALL of them got blossom end rot. I didn't have any other source of calcium so I diluted milk and applied it to the soil. I haven't had a problem since. It works and my garden doesn't have a bad odor.
Try a dissolved Tums next time. I'm not joking one watering with 1-2 calcium Carbonate fixed my problem the rest of the season.
Not that your way was ineffective btw! I was just excited to share that tums worked so well.
@@aaron5508 I will try it next year.
you have much to learn, young one. And beware pride that goeth before the fall.
But Self Sufficient Me CZcams Channel Gardening uses Whole Raw Eggs as fertilizer. And it seems to work quite well in his garden.
I have never bought milk to "feed" the plants but I do pour old milk onto the soil under tomato plants rather than pour it down the drain. And my tomatoes do not get blossom end rot. So I am a believer.
Plant researches in Brazil and Australia have recently used milk as a fungicide on vegetable crops, grapes, and flower crops. They found that spraying a dilute mix of 1 part milk and 9 parts water prevented fungi from growing. (The researchers also believe that the potassium phosphate in milk helps boost the plant’s immune system and may also work as an antibiotic.)
BINGO, it is how you apply it. Funny thing about egg shells they take months to years to break down, so putting them in your soil for calcium is a next to zero benefit for years.
One researcher says that it is the amino acids in the milk which combines with the calcium and in turn this causes the plant to be able to absorb calcium at a greater rate.
Supposedly this is the secret sauce
Milk and eggs work great. They break down quicker then you think. Ive done this for many years. If you can smell an odor you didnt burry it deep enough. My tomatoes with raw cracked eggs 12 inches deep grew 3 times the size of the ones without eggs. Think YOU SHOULD TRY IT BEFORE YOU TELL OTHERS NOT TOO!
Edit: the egg tomatoes also had higher yields as well.
You are right.
I was thinking about trying to root rosemary in old egg yolks I think it might work cause it's easy engery.
Worked for my lemon tree!
@@springbloom8997 tell us what it did for your lemon tree- what "worked"?
Any organic matter is good for plants as long as it is decomposed.
Hey, an older man I was talking to said for blight on tomatoes they have always had success sprinkling powdered milk on them when planting them. I read that milk is a natural fungicide and kills bad fungi that cause disease on plants. Used on tomatoes and squash. Also provides calcium and nitrogen.
Wonder if raw milk diluted with water and sprayed on tomatoes would work for blight as well?
I just watch a video about how probiotic yogurt solved a problem with fireblight on a pear tree. I am going to try it. I have nothing to lose as it will take the tree.
I compost with milk, I have used powder milk during bloom. This isn’t new. And it hasn’t ever hurt anything. It increases composting. Don’t knock it till you try it
Diluted milk and water is great for your plants .. my like tree is thriving right now because of this. Makes the leaves very green healthy and shiny to. My family from honduras passed this info on to me and they've been using this for years .
Wrong! I actually buried two fresh eggs in my garden late last year. A month ago I planted pepper plants that I bought from Lowe’s. Each plant was maybe 9 inches tall. The pepper plant that was planted directly over the once fresh eggs is already two feet tall and is putting off very healthy peppers, some that I’ve already used in cooking. All of my other pepper plants are only one foot tall and are just now starting to flower and grow tiny pepper pods. So until you’ve tried it yourself, don’t make a video on it. At the end of this growing season, I am going to dig up my entire garden and place one fresh, uncooked egg every 6 inches apart front to back, left to right. Then cover them with about 9 inches of soil and let them do their thing throughout the winter months. Maybe I’ll dump a gallon or two of milk into the soil as well
You also need to plant the same plant next to it without the egg and keep other factors constant and then compare the results. Then it will be good experiment. You can also add another plant with compost and worm casting and see how that performs as well compared to the egg. Then you will have control, compost and egg for accurate comparison and analysis.
I used the miracle grow dirt for my tomatoe plants and lost many to blossom end rot. So I sprinkled dry milk on them right away, and some time later put on some bone meal. But It stopped that blossom end rot almost totally. Miracle grow does not have enough calcium for sure.
i immagine the neighbours looking up the fence and seeing a man wearing a foil hat while trying to make his plants drink milk. xD
Haha
😂😂😂😜
I've seen the Vietnamese Gardners feed milk to vegetable plants especially leafy plants and it grew amazingly.
Did they do a comparable experiment without feeding milk while all other things are constant?
@@DaisyCreekFarms they don’t need to cause it works lol
Only a few of us now how to do it but it works
@@DaisyCreekFarms what about fish heads in the soil?
@@Nyabennah ...putting fish under plants produced fantastic results! This is not too surprising since many organic plant fertilizer is made of fish emulsion 👍🌱
I planted my dying flowers in semi decomposed vegetables and fruit skins and they are flourishing! so tbh you can plant using waste that's not fully decomposed
...this is where you are 100 percent wrong and for that you don’t deserve my subscription. Get it right man, milk works amazing, my plants are happy healthy thick and can’t describe more.... yes milk is beyond great for our plants.
Your a realist and I appreciate that. And I appreciate you. Love from Trinidad
I've seen a dairy farm that had a cooler go down on the bulk tank. Had to dump bulk tank. Milk was pumped into manure pond then sprayed on clover field in late fall. Following year clover had more flowers and more growth then other fields with just manure.
Parents bought an ex
dairy farm. Just outside the dairy door the grass grew significantly taller, lush & green compared to the rest of the surrounding area.
So the milk composted before adding to the ground? That's ok. Plus the manure has a lot to do with the growth than milk.
@@DaisyCreekFarms again clover had more flowers and more growth then manure alone. All organic matter brakes down into a npk value
@@kevind3185 But the milk composed for a while before the next crop was planted the next year? So milk was not added directly to the root of the plants? You can compost any organic matter and then use, just not a good idea to add milk and egg directly to the roots of your plants.
@@DaisyCreekFarms milk was pumped into manure pond then manure and now sour milk was sprayed on clover field. It was all done in a matter of days of the milk being dumped. Nothing like the smell of cow shit and sour milk. At least it wasn't hot out in the fall.
Usually I don’t comment but yes every now and then I mix few raw eggs with water and water to my plants and veggies and they always looked so green shiny and healthy and I have been doing this for years 😊
Can you please share the ratio of your ingredients that you use for your gardening.. Thanks.
Umm.. Tried and true here... something is being left out of all these videos... FAT FREE powdered milk mixed with water DOES work to produce wonderful tomato, squash, and potato plants. Water around the roots, not against the stalk, and not on the foliage. The FAT in milk is what makes soil go rancid; fat-free is a must. Also, if your soil is deficient in Magnesium, epsom salt may be added as well.
Finally, how do you explain the well-known practice of burying a fish under your plants, if your theory is true? How do you explain the ENTIRE permaculture practice? It's literally based on putting kitchen scraps directly into the garden. YOU go tell Morag Gamble or Charles Dowden that they're wrong, I'll wait right here.
I have a video on burying kitchen scraps in the garden. Do not bury egg, meat, or milk. Fish fertilizer is used widely in organic farming and some do bury dead fish which is not viable for consumption by humans or animals. Some use left over parts from fish industry. You can use fish but it is better to decompose fish in a contained environment and them use it as a fertilizer. Burying fish might attract maggots, raccoons, and other animals as well.
@@DaisyCreekFarms So now you've contradicted yourself. Fish is meat. Thanks, unsub & hope people do research outside of your youtube channel before writing off TRIED AND TRUE practices.
@@amandaroyer633 Ever heard of fish meal and bone meal fertilizer? It is made from decomposing fish and bone of animals from meat industry to make the fertilizer. How am I contradicting myself? I am saying not to add egg, milk, and meat, or fish directly to the roots of your plants. I said, "You can use fish but it is better to decompose fish in a contained environment and them use it as a fertilizer." Please read carefully.
Bro I use powdered milk mixed with my water and I have experimented it heps
You are so right --- it's better to let ALL your tomatoes get ruined with "blossom end rot" than use a little milk to prevent it! Wish I could think as clearly as you 🤔
Milk prevents blossom end rot??? How? Because of calcium in the milk? IN most situations Blossom end rot is not caused by lack of calcium. Please checkout this video czcams.com/video/RRQmZ3oczN8/video.html
@@DaisyCreekFarms If milk doesn't work then explain why that is the only thing I have tried that actually prevents BER on my tomatoes like I said bone meal, egg shells, gypsum, garden lime --- DID NOT HELP ----- WHY????? the BER stopped when I used milk --- do you have a mental handicap that prevents you from understanding this???
It's because your soil is not balanced. If your soil is well balanced and your plants are able to intake the proper nutrients, you would not have the need to add milk to prevent BER. I have never used milk in my garden and I never have BER in my tomatoes. Before you insult me by saying that I am mentally handicap, you need to understand your soil, I have a whole video dedicated to BER, hopefully this will help you so you don't have to use milk czcams.com/video/RRQmZ3oczN8/video.html
I cracked an egg in my soil and they are doing awesome!!!
Did you do a controlled experiment to see if the plants without egg with everything else constant grew as well?
This lunatic buried a while egg when planting each tomato plant. The plants developed such a strong stem that it wasn't even necessary to stake in the beginning. Disagree with his opinion.
The best crop I ever had was when I needed dirt to fill up a 3 ‘ x 25’ and 3 ‘ deep rockery planter I was building. I needed yards and yards of dirt, but it was too expensive. I knew of a defunct chicken farm that had tons of manure they wanted gone because they had sold the land. It was free. I drove truck after truck of that stuff and filled in my rockery area. I planted tomatoes directly in the chicken manure, which was against the advice of very gardener I knew. But, I took the risk. Omg those tomatoes plants grew into monsters. Big green mothers from outer space! At first just all super thick green leaves, then the blossoms, then the crop of tomatoes that just kept on coming. I have moved from that house and tried to duplicate what I had done, but not with the same success. It may be because I used store bought chicken manure. The manure I got from that old chicken farm was so well rotted ( even found a few chicken bones in the mix). Oh, one more thing, I planted petunias in the manure and they were amazing. I had to finally use a hedge clipper to dead head them. True story. So, sometimes you go against the advice of the experts. It may fail, or it just might work.
You dont plant root crops in fresh manuer or u will pay for it. Old litter is used all the time on farms, fresh litter will burn or kill most plants the way you used it.... one other note about chicken litter, its best to buy it strait from the farmer so you know what you are getting. Arsenic is given to meat birds to plump them up. And thier litter has LOTS of arsenic in it.. if you use litter, get it from an egg.farm or a.farm raising layers for the egg.farms.
I wouldn't pour a glass of milk on a plant but when I rinse my milk jugs and pour it on my plants they become very perky and green. I assume it feeds the life in the soil, not the actual plant.
Exactly! Not all bacteria and fungi are bad things.If the milk is used Sparingly over a large area,it help the beneficial organisms in the soil to break down organic matter into a form your plants can use if they also get lots of water.That's why your plants reacted as they did.
It's the Dry Milk That works...Proven Proven Proven!
Thank you! I'll be using only rinsed shells mixed up good in the blender with plain water, pouring it in the holes before placing my tomato plants on top of it.
Milk in compost tea is extremely beneficial. Its great for powdery mildew, high in enzymes and simple sugars as well as beneficial bacteria. It is also a natural insecticide againsy soft body insects as they cannot break down simple sugars. Milk has been used a long time in gardening, this isn't anything new.
I do really need help. I've tried to look up coconut water with plants but I'm getting no leads. Could you please clear up if it's safe or not please
eggshells and leftovers of fruits etc are working great on my plants. idk what ur talking about man.
Egg shells are ok to use, leftover fruit is good when composted. The video is about milk and whole eggs which should never be added directly to soil.
@@DaisyCreekFarms dried egg shells from few days back or fresh egg shells soon after you use eggs?
What about using a whey? Does it have any impact on yield?
*We have a carnivorous plant here known as a bramble bush they have backwards facing barbs/thorns and they produce blackberries, every year dozens of sheep die to these plants as they are lured in attracted to the juicy blackberries before becoming entangled with the barbs and vines the sheep becomes trapped I think the plant actually knows this as carcasses have been found totally wrapped by the plants vines, obviously the sheep dies then decomposes into the topsoil giving the plant nutrients benefitting it in the long run,* absolutely fascinating.
I tried it and it worked in my house plants they’re alive again I was skeptical just like you !🤷🏻♀️
I drink a glass of milk before I go to work on my plants as I need that energy. Jokes apart, here in India people feed buttermilk to the plants in summer as it gets very hot.
So, I did a test of this egg garden thing. I did eight where it didnt have and egg under my tomato plants, and four where it didn't. The ones that had an egg under them grew about 15% more foliage but I forgot to write down if they dropped more fruit. :/ Farmers have been doing this for a long time. As for watering with watered down milk, that seems out there but I'll look at the old fashioned gardeners before I take a childs test project seriously to be honest. I didn't grow any molds, I didn't notice any pests, certainly no maggots (yuck!) and the plants were all very healthy. *shrugs*
Well I used blended egg shells on my sugar baby watermelons and tomatoes in containers and I purposely didn’t use it on my tomatoes plant in the ground as much just to see if there is any difference and my container tomatoes are doing a lot better then my inground tomatoe. Also I strongly believe this has a lot to do with my soil problems in my garden. On the other hand my plants in containers are doing amazing even after putting milk and egg shells in them but I do have to admit it has drawn a lot of bugs so I am having to fight off critters. Other than that things are growing. I will most definitely do a more accurate comparison test to get a better theory. Thanks for sharing.
Ok which is the best natural fertilizer for plants rather than pad egg shells
I had an issue with the pH in my soil. My apple seed roots started turning brown immediately. A few articles recommended putting ACV but that seemed very acidic. So I went with milk bc it is acidic but not as acidic as ACV. I’ll comment how it works. Probably will attract pests 🤦🏾♀️maggots 🤮 and fungus😤. I have more seeds but I need to know how to keep the roots from turning brown. I didn’t over water them. I simply removed them from the core of the apple and the roots immediately started to turn brown.
Milk is alkaline
In my school days we learned that the natives taught the English settlers in the US to plant corn in a mound with a dead fish. There also used to be an often repeated story of a man who was buried under an apple tree and the root of the tree, later dug up, was in the exact shape of the man. I have poured spoiled milk into my tomato containers a few times - didn't seem to hurt. Threw spoiled milk on the strawberries, it grew an incredible gray fungus all over the plant. I did this twice, because I forgot about the fungus the second time. Same thing happened. The plant survived, though.
@Brendan Hall .. you should study your history and flesh out the propaganda taught in the public schools. While squanto was an indian and HE DID teach the settlers how to do the fish trick, it was not something the natives knew to do. Squanto was kidnapped to be a slave in europe.. he was rescued from the slave market by a monk who taught him how to talk (spanish if i remember) . The monk was part of who were researching how to improve farming techniques to better feed people. They were the ones who taught squanto what they knew, and after he had been returned to his homeland (all the people had died from some disease) he taught the settlers what he knew.
@@ronallens6204 Well, the history books were full of BS back then, same as they are, now. Thanks for that information.
@@watermelonlalala not a problem... as i got older i had to relearn alot of things i was taught in schools (including college)
Thanks for the video. I was about to use the very ingredient in the garden
will grinding the shells in to a powder and mixing in to the soil help it work faster ?
Yes, crushed eggshells help add calcium to the soil.
in south India we do foliar spray themoor solution. it's a very diluted curd( yoghurt) with coconut milk. both are fermented and diluted. Apparantly lactic acid and other stuffs prevents flower buds falling off thus giving more flowers and fruits.🤔
I got some eggs which are not good to eat anymore and just think if I can bury them under my plants!
I grind my egg shells and use them as grist in my worm bins.
This video is full of inaccuracies.. Not only regarding Milk and Eggs but also regarding burying kitchen scraps..
What about placing a magnet around the plant will it increase growth
If i have expired milk can i add it to tomato plants ? And if its okay where should i add it Im super confused as ives seen a mized response 🧐
Can you use shells from raw eggs or do they have to be cooked?
Yes, as you said I do have maggots in my compost bin, I tried to kill them by putting palletised lime though they have reduced now but still not disappeared, how to see them gone. Please help. I saw a video which says they disappear when the weather starts getting extremely cold, I am not very sure about this, I stay in VA, do advice. Thanks.
Flies only lay their eggs on top of food. Put a thick layer of carbon (leaves, shredded newspaper) over the nitrogen you put in your compost bin and you won't get maggots or fruit flies. If the maggots are the big, segmented looking ones, they're Black Soldier Flies. Black soldier flies lay their eggs adjacent to food, so they will make their way down to the compost. That being said, BS flies are great in my opinion. They will break down your compost much more quickly and their waste is a great fertilizer. They don't bite, or cause disease. If you have livestock, you can gather the BS fly larvae up and feed them to your animals.
I read that spraying milk on fruit trees leaves works as a pesticide but not on the ground.. what do you think?
Which fertilizer good for Hibiscus plant?for bloom?
Me: Why arent you drinking my vodka?
Plant: .......
I love your videos!! I so agree with you here for sure! Keep it up you are the best!!
Oh I need English subtitles on this show duei am deaf. I love your show..
I burried a bunch of eggs sgells with a poted lemon tree that didn't produce fruit for several years. Suddenly, it began to produce lemons & beautiful blossoms! I'm convinced that did the trick!
I have a tomato plant with blossom end rot. I’m about to try the 1/2 cup milk to 1 gallon of water method, I’ll let you know if it works or not.
ok, I am curious to know. Send me email at info (at) daisycreekfarms.com with photos and updates.
Tks for sharing this
Thanks for the video
Thank you so much!
✨Hahaaa hilarious video....worm casting is absolutely the best for 🌱 ✨
I’ve seen many many, pros for milk , but more diluted with water and it seems very beneficial. So do your research before doing a clip like that!!
Where do you think eggplants come from, Mr. Smartie? 🙂. Ok, well I dodged that potential catastrophe (I actually had an egg in my hand when "the next video" autoplayed, so then I put the egg back in the fridge). OK, so NOW...what's your opinion on using shoestrings or wicks to water plants? Would it work?
I've never attempting the dairy, but do cut up banana peels and put them near the base of plants. Here in Florida, the hot summer sun bakes them and breaks them down rather quickly . I did comparisons to other fertilizers and the plants fed the peels did produce many more flowers than the ones that I didn't. I am not a professional gardener by any means. For slugs and snails I've always used beer in cleaned out tuna or cat food cans and it works great because they drink till they get so drunk, they end up falling in the can and drown. In new gardens, I've caught over a hundred in less than 2 weeks time.
Hi! That's awesome! I have a video on Burying Kitchen Scrap in Garden: czcams.com/video/uL-WRZUG0d8/video.html and Using Beer Traps to catch Snails and Slugs: czcams.com/video/o9Dj5KSggBw/video.html
Got it. Honey and wine it is.
How about fish amino?? " Meen amilam " Can we use this for plants??!!!
I ground my egg shells into powder. Would you know how much to add to the ground and how long does it last if I want to save some? thank you. Oh, also, how deep should I put my scraps?
How do u think my plants like their steak cooked? I asked but they just don't listen.
I added a few drops of milk to my cactus because fungus attacked it. It was actually helpful.
I don’t purposely do it but sometimes when I have some that’s about to spoil I’ll compost it
I tried both milk and eggs for my plants for years now, i also tried plants exposed to the same conditions one with eggs and milk and one without, both made tomatoes but the one made around 60% more than the other. Also warms are added in the mix. I tried it and it worked. So if you believe is BS, yeah your opinion
I NEED THIS.
also, what can you say about people using lacto-ferment or probio foliage spray or watering the soil with that? which is good and which is bad?
milk based foliage spray is ok to use to get rid of spider mites as a natural pesticide but never feed it to plants in soil.
@@DaisyCreekFarms neem or cedar oil is a far better natural pesticide and it won't promote bacterial growth.
Thank you🙏
Milk has helped me with calcium deficiencies before.
Nut milk or nut oil or from seeds?
But even egg shells take 2 years to decompose as they are hardy. But I do not know whether boiling the shells and then using the boiled water after cooling is right
Where can I use rotten eggs ? In worm bin or leaves pile ? Please advice, thanks.
Bury them in the soil. Vermin won't reach them if they are buried and the biology in the soil (fungi, insects, etc) will break the eggs down into nutrients the plants can use in a relatively short period of time.
Milk works good for me
I saw in a video that you have to dilute the raw cow's milk with water for a really great pesticide but I haven't tried it
as for foulsmells. u wanna smell my worm castings juice after i pour grass water into it and catch it thru the tap back into the bucket. after 3 days it stiiiiiiiiinks. is it full. of. bacteria? yes. doesit do my plants a world. ofgood? yes.
Do you have to wash the egg shells before adding them to your garden?
Good explain
True.I like it..Its useful.
Thanks for sharing... but can you use a 50/50 mix of milk and water to cleans and polish leaves?
Yes, Foliar spray is ok
Im planting for about 3 years. And I've tried putting egg below my plants and all of my plants did grow nice and healthy. With the milk...hmm Ive never ever tried that one before
My plants prefer champagne, lol! I love your videos! Very informative!
Haha! Thank You!
Placing a nail or stick next to the stem will keep cutworms from cutting the plants down.
I always give milk to my girls throughout the whole process and never have gotten a negative result besides fat fruits same goes for eggs an egg shells. Sometimes my chicken lay in my pots and I wont remove them I'll just crack them in my pot.
Hey thanks for saving me from killing my houseplants.
Welcome, thanks for the support!
@@DaisyCreekFarms Thanks, I was going to do it to my container garden.😂 until I found your plants rejected milk offer…lolllll
And what about magnet in soil
Nails next to your plant will make them instantly more metal (throws devil horns up) (proceeds to headbang).
Do a vid about adding cooked table scraps. Like meat scraps, swept up dog food, bones, fried vegetables, etc.,.
Thank you!! I think possibly your milk was not organic and the plant knew that! Hahaha
That is what I was thinking.
