I read somewhere that said letting fruit spoil (go mouldy) then use the juice as fertilizer! True or not ?? Serious answers pls

You could make an FPE out of banana peels or other fruit, but I wouldn't apply that directly to the soil. I would dilute that 20:1 or so before using as a drench

I wonder if you could dry bannana peels and pulverize them and apply directly in the form of a top dressing.

Aloe vera is great as an antistress agent during transplants

Fermented Plant Extract.

woop woop! the way its supposed to be! and they say you cant make alcohol from vegetative cellulosic materials, Only sugar starches. its just Not true! its lies!

There is like only ONE article on google talking about fermenting straw and making ethanol from straw, but it Literally costs HUNDREDS of dollars Just to read it! It's all bull shit!

Our Fore Fathers and Mothers knew way more than us, and they used to make Fermented Plant Extract for medicinal purposes. Actually in Tusser's 500 Points of Good Husbandry which was a Standard book in Most Everybody's home, That And the Geneva Bible NOT the King James bible were the main Two Books Everyone owned, especially in America.

But he talks about June is the time to Distill Herbs. Actually Robert Squibb mentions it in his gardeners calendar.

Anyways, thanks for mentioning that, I Am definitely going to bemaking fermented plant extracts.!

I don't really know what this is in reference to, but nick says in organic feeding 101 that you can make a banana peel tea.

alright here it goes (I can't believe i'm posting this) I had a dog that had a litter of pups, she had about three that died..fat bitch layed on them and suffacated them,,oh well anywho I burried them in this hole cause i had grown a plant in the hole years before (soft dirt)...the following spring I planted this cheesewreck ontop of the well composted puppy carcases...fuckin' nasty I know...I would never do this today.

Haha I love it. I mean there is no better way to discard of such life in my opinion. Better to make use of the animals that die, they are Not humans.

This is a common practice in many parts of the world/cultures. My buddy pulled a quick switch this spring because his daughters tree didn't make it through the winter. He timed it right and she just thought it got a slow start that spring! Its ok IMO all life comes from death with microbes doing the magic transition! Its just like planting a corn kernel in a fish carcass back in the day.

Instead of buying your kid a case of wine from the year of their birth, I was thinking the cannabis version would be like grow a dank plant with your childs placenta tea then make hash and save it for when you bust them toking. So this is "your hash"... and I only want you smoking the good stuff kid. Me personally I'd rather have that than a case of aged bordeau any day!

I still have my daughters (heart shaped, rare!) placenta in the freezer, maybe I will use it to make some tea on some plants like I said above. I did pump the water and afterbirth (home birth was great!) from the puddle birth (we were gonna do a water birth but she came when it was only 5" full!) right into my tomato bed and they are doing great this year even though they got seeded late by a new dad gardener who was about one and a half months behind schedule. MMmmm homegrown tomatoes, one thing I LOVE about late summer.

I Love this.! Amen!

As some already mentioned, urine is a really great fertilizer. Here in Sweden people use it all the time, dilute it with water (1 part urine, 2-10 parts water depending on if the soil is already wet and how much nutes your plant can handle) and water. It's called "golden water". I read on some swedish gardening forum that every time you pee, you throw away like 3-4 USD worth of top grade fertilizer.

And if you think it's gross: You don't water on the buds but on the soil. The plants don't absorb the urine, it simply uses all the valuable nutriets. Watering with "golden water" does not mean you will be smoing your own pee.

Man $3-4 is quite a lot of money! I actually may try something like this one day. I mean back in the day they used night soil for manure... Same thing.

Ive been poking around the inter tubes.. and found you can dry and pulverize them.. I prefer a dry top dressing myself.. I'm sure a tea would work too.

Never tried it bro. At first blush something to be aware of is that lemon juice *could* raise the ph of your medium..... and I believe you were already having issues with this.
