Plant Tip: Use Cooking Water for Extra Nutrition When Watering Your Plants

 

After cooking potatoes, pasta, vegetables and hard boil eggs retain the water for your plants to provide them with a nutritional boost! Many of the micronutrients such as calcium, phosphorus and nitrogen are boiled off into the water. After the water cools down, award your plants with a satisfying drink and a small amount of much needed fertilizer from the nutrients within the water.

This technique is environmentally friendly, sustainable, and it provides your garden with all the nutrients it needs to prosper!
