Add a little bit of this to rice water, and the fertilizer effect will increase 10 times. Any flower that drinks it will grow wildly!

Add some brown sugar to rice water

Benefits of brown sugar compost

Brown sugar can speed up the fermentation of fungi, and can also provide minerals and trace elements to increase fertilizer efficiency.

Tips

1. Put the rice water into a 5-liter plastic bottle. Don't fill it up, 80% is enough.

2. Add a small spoonful of brown sugar, shake well, seal and ferment. Open the lid to release air every 2 days. It can be used after 20 days; dilute it 20 times before watering the flowers.

Add some wine lees to rice water

What is distiller's grains?

Wine lees are the residue after brewing wine. They are rich in yeast and lactic acid bacteria and are a natural fermentation agent.

What are the benefits of using wine lees as fertilizer?

Wine lees can greatly shorten the time of fermentation, and are rich in nutrients such as crude protein and amino acids, which can enhance the fertilizer effect; in addition, using it to ferment fertilizer is not only not smelly, but also has a light wine aroma.

Tips

1. Add 30g of distiller's grains to a 5L bottle of rice water, stir evenly, seal and ferment, open the lid regularly to release air, and it will generally be ready in about 10 days;

2. When you see the surface becomes clear, it is basically fermented. Pour out the upper clear liquid, dilute it 20 times with water and use it to water the flowers. The bottom can continue to ferment.

Rice water with some yogurt

Benefits of yogurt compost

Add some beer to rice water

Benefits of beer fermentation

Beer contains nutrients such as sugars, amino acids, phosphates, etc. When added to rice water, the fermentation speed is faster, the fertilizer effect lasts longer, and the fertilizer power is stronger.

Tips

1. Collect the beer residue and the water from washing bottles, put them in a plastic bucket with a ratio of 1:1 to rice washing water, seal it and ferment it in the sun. It will be fully decomposed in 10 days in summer and about 20 days in autumn and winter.

2. After it is fully composted, dilute it 50 times with water and then water the flowers. Water it once every half a month. It is suitable for spider plants, green radish, gardenias, and Clivia.
