Now that Valentine’s Day is over and the snow is on the ground, we start thinking of Spring. Yes, that time of year when the green of plants pushes up and out f the soil. When the sun once again warms us and the smell of flowers fills the air. But for there to be flowers, plants and vegetables, there needs to be good soil. Oh no! Now what can we do? If you are like me, you did not get the compost going and are not good with crawly things. Maybe you are but the time just got away from you. You can still have a wonderful garden. And yes my secret even works for window plants and potted vegetable plants.
My secrete weapon came in the form of a Twitter friend, GreenSoil. We started tweeting (that is talking on the internet about growing plants.) I have a spot of garden in which I grow organic veggies and fruit for my family. I do not like to use commercial fertilizer as I don’t like all the chemicals that adds to my food source BUT I want beautiful plants and an easy way to take care of them.
That’s when Greensoil stepped into the picture. You see, GreenSoil is really Annie Haven of Authentic Haven Brand Natural Brew Soil conditioning tea. She graciously reached out and told me about how easy it was to make this tea for my garden and how I can try it out. I even received a sample packet of the tea and have tried it on my indoor plants. It is easy to put the bags in a 1-5 gallon containers, fill with water and leave them alone for up to 4 days. The tea comes in small gauze bags that are compostable. They have a soft sent of freshly plowed earth. I then use them to water my plants. Even a mom of two active little ones can doth is and the result is incredible.
How do I know that the animals that this manure tea comes from don’t eat and ingest chemicals and hormones? Ms. Haven harvests the manure right from her own animals that have been free of chemicals since 1924. Her farm was ahead of the game and wanted to produce good clean livestock. We know to compost but how many of us take the next step to make sure our compost is natural and contains nothing unnatural? When you find a source of good fertilizer for the plants it’s a good idea to keep it and continue to use it.
My plants are growing beautifully and my husband wants to know why I have not killed this lot of plants. Now you know my secret but please do not tell my husband.
