Learning about Free Fertilizers

Homestead Lifestyle - Learning About Free Fertilizer for the Garden

As a budding homesteader there are items you always look out for to continually supply for your garden whether it's big or small. That item is fertilizer. Learning how to create and find free fertilizers for your garden to grow abundantly is very crucial. If your plants don't eat they won't grow healthy, prone to attract diseases and die. Finding cheap fertilizer isn't easy but to create your own fertilizer is.

This explains how to use your fish scraps from cleaning the fresh fish you're preparing for dinner and how to apply it to your garden as your NEW FREE FERTILIZER. It sounds gross but this is just like the liquid fish emulsion you see some farmers use. Provides good nutrients such as phosphorus, nitrogen, calcium and magnesium to your plants. Using this method is easy, free and accessible to any Homesteader that has a garden.

Fish Scraps as Fertilizer -

1. Fresh fish scraps are planted into the soil to cover the stinky smell it will create over time, and breakdown easier and faster to allow the nutrients to absorb into the soil for the plants.

2. Saving the water you washed your fish with, use as fertilizer directly into your garden immediately.
