Pick up these "3 kinds" of things from the roadside and use them as fertilizer to grow flowers. They are very effective and will make a pot of flowers bloom!

Going to the market to buy fertilizers is indeed the most direct way to supplement nutrients for flower plants, but it is also a considerable expense over time. In fact, we can start from around us and find things suitable for growing flowers. For example, these three things that Huahua knows, we can pick some up from the roadside and take them home for maintenance. They have strong fertilizer effects and are better than ordinary fertilizers. We must not waste them!

1. Earthworm castings

Earthworm castings are easy to find in the bushes on the roadside. We all know that earthworms can loosen the soil and help it breathe. After fermentation with the soil, earthworm castings naturally contain a lot of nutrients, which is perfect for supplementing nutrition for plants and flowers.

Directions:

Because earthworm manure is picked up outdoors, it naturally contains more bacteria and impurities. We need to expose it to the sun before use to effectively remove the impurities. We can place the processed earthworm manure on the soil surface to let it ferment on its own, or we can mix it into the soil to help it release nutrients as quickly as possible and help plants grow.

(ii) Pine needles

In winter, many trees enter the leaf-shedding period, and pine trees are no exception. I believe you can often see fallen pine needles on the roadside. Pine needles originally grow on pine trees and are hard in texture. We can pick some up and take them home to grow flowers. They can enhance the air permeability of the soil and reduce the occurrence of waterlogging and root rot.

Directions:

Pine needles, like earthworm castings, need to be exposed to the sun for sterilization and disinfection. We can use the processed pine needles to pad the bottom of flower pots to increase drainage and air permeability. They can also be mixed with soil to help enhance nutrients and promote the growth of plants and flowers.

3. Willow bark

Willow trees are bare in winter, but the bark that falls off is very useful. Willow trees can survive as long as they come into contact with water. This is because they contain a substance called salicylic acid, which can accelerate cell division and increase the growth rate of the plant.

Directions:

Willow bark needs to be fermented before it can be used. We put the willow bark in a sealed container and then add water for fermentation. After about half a month, the fermentation is completed and the solution made from willow bark can be used to water flower plants. But remember to dilute it again with water in a ratio of 1:50 when using it to prevent burning the flower roots.

These three common items on the roadside can be used to grow flowers, and the effects are just as good as fertilizers. I wonder if you have ever used these little methods?
