Composting
Instead of buying expensive soil, you can create your own rich compost by recycling your food scraps and other organic materials. This not only saves money, but it also reduces waste and helps to create a healthy environment for your plants to grow. Plus, it’s an easy way to be more eco-friendly!
Use coffee grounds as fertilizer
Coffee grounds are rich in nitrogen and other nutrients that are beneficial for plants. Simply sprinkle used coffee grounds around the base of your plants to give them a boost.
Create your own plant markers
Instead of buying expensive plant markers, you can create your own using recycled materials. Cut up old plastic containers or popsicle sticks and write the name of the plant on them.
Repurpose old containers
Instead of buying new planters, you can repurpose old containers such as buckets, jars, or even old shoes. Just make sure to drill holes for drainage and add a layer of gravel at the bottom before adding soil.
Use Epsom salt to boost plant growth
Epsom salt is rich in magnesium and sulfate, which can help plants grow faster and produce more fruit. Dissolve a tablespoon of Epsom salt in water and use it to water your plants once a month.
