Use boiled water from pasta, potatoes, carrots, rice...let it cool then use it to water your plants. All the nutrients in the boiled water...your plants will 💕 love!

You are the man. Thank you so much for caring and posting.

I actually learned one I didn't know, thank you. And here is one I will share. When I am going to make rice in my steamer I rinse the rice first, However, I capture the water in a large bowl after rinsing and I use that rice water to water/feed my orchids, they LOVE it! In fact all my house plants do. Even my cactus and succulents too.

I find this smart and funny. He makes every ingredient easy to remember - while entertaining! That's the best kind of 'informing'....

Ken in Florida Thanks for the great video. I've been combining ingredients that I used to throw away to make the ''Powerful Homemade Fertilizer' and using it on my indoor and outdoor plants. What a difference! They are all doing so much better, now. Good stuff. Looking for more knowledge in the future.

This is the best video of gardening I have ever seen, they are always so tedious and long. Thank you for making it easy to remember. :)

Wildly entertaining video about recycling old coffee grounds and banana peels. Thanks! Will try with my plants!

Glad to know I have been doing two out of three things good for my plants - though I confess without some of the special treatment of the eggshells in particular. I usually just crunch up the raw shells, mix them with the used coffee grounds and layer them around the shrubs - like the azaleas, blueberries and gardenia (Florida - lots of options!). Now I will add banana peels to the rotation outside, and fine tune the mess to use on my houseplants too! Thanks! Wish I had your energy to go with my enthusiasm ;-)

Your advice is fantastic. But my autism wishes you'd do it in a quieter, more laid back way 😄

I've been following you on TikTok but didn't know about youtube.. Glad I found you!

[katherinegorman]

Great message for sustainability of the planet! Love the presentation and am starting to use these tips today with my morning coffee grounds; Thanks!

[Serena-kogt]

you can freeze banana peels in a ziplock bag for up to 3 months...then I just keep in a jar of the dried out coffee grinds a dried out egg powder and then of use some banana water with the water in their

[keepitsimple]

instead of soaking for six hours. is it a good idea to puree everything and then apply it to plants?

[keepitsimple]

also how often should this be applied to plants?

[xkkljub]

Thanks a bunch! I would never fall asleep watching this! Very helpful!

QUESTION: I drink roasted chicory instead of coffee most of the time, are those grounds also good for my plants? I mean, chicory is supposed to be much more nutrient-rich than coffee anyway...

[lindadavis]

Love this video. Thanks for all of the great info!
