Goldfish Water

writes: I would like to share a good tip for your plant lovers
out there who prefer a natural fertilizer. Dirty goldfish water is a
wonderful way to both water and fertilize your plants all at the same
time. Every time I change the fish's water, I use it the old dirty water
to water all my house plants.
It's been six months now since I started this and I must
say that I have never in my life have had such green, lush, and healthy
houseplants. I first started doing this for my lucky bamboo because I had
killed too many of them by accidentally over-feeding them. Well you can't
over-feed them goldfish poo apparently.
It was my mother that suggested using the fish water
instead of plant fertilizer, she raises her tomatoes on the stuff and she
always has the biggest, reddest tomatoes you've ever seen.
Just thought I'd share that for those who have fish
tanks. Instead of just dumping the dirty water down the drain try using it
to water the plants! Of course if the water had been treated with anything
(like antibiotics or whatnot) for the fish's benefit it might not be good
for the plants. |
