Here’s another trick you can use to water your plants, plus its cheap and effective. This trick is to use cooking water from pasta and vegetables to give your plants extra nutrition.
How does this process really work?
When you boil your food such as pasta, vegetables, eggs, or potatoes, many of the micronutrients such as phosphorus, nitrogen, and calcium are boiled off into the water. Therefore, after you have let the water cool down, not only will you provide your plants with a nice drink, the plants also get a bit of much needed fertilizer from the nutrients within the water. There are many advantages to using cooking water to feed your plants. Not only is it cost effective and resourceful, the fertilizer it provides for your plants gives them a more stable and steady growth period. The water will help promote natural nutrient storage within the soil. This means you will not have to fertilize your plants or garden as often providing longevity for your soil. It will also help your soil retain more moisture, therefore reducing the amount of times you will need to water.
It's hassle free, environmentally friendly, sustainable, and it provides your garden with all the nutrients it needs to thrive.
