I've been gardening since I was 14 years old. I am now 66 years old. After leaving home, I always made a garden no matter where I lived, renting apartments or a small house, a yard was always available, and I would dig an area for my garden. My gardening skills constantly changed. At one point in my life, I did use Miracle Grow. I have not used that awful stuff for over 30 years. I have a compost pile, gather leaves, use grass clippings, and kitchen scraps. I have purchased organic fertilizers and have brought home truckloads of manure when available. I've done it all until now after watching your video on making and storing your own fertilizers. We should never stop learning. Thank you for what you have taught me today. You are a treasure!

I have a worm bin. I started doing worm bins in very early 1980s when I started teaching School. We use the bookworms eat my garbage as a starting point. I taught my students how to build a worm bin and take care of them. This was in an elementary school and I did statistics with them and grids, charts etc using the worm population. Then my students taught the whole school how to feed the worms healthy things from the lunch menu. My students would go down during lunch with big coffee cans and collect the proper foods from other students in the lunch room. I worked in two schools at the time and the other school would take turns taking the worms home and feeding them. When one student came back and all the worms were really thin and there were less of them we asked what they were fed. They were fed popcorn and cupcakes! My little kids learned a big lesson that day about eating healthy! 🤣 We also wrote a book with poetry, illustrations etc and sent it to a special school out-of-state that we became communicators with about the science of worm bins. We did presentations in front of the school board as well as several classrooms ...and much more. It was a very comprehensive project and one of the best .😊

Cassandra, there are certain types of rice that need washing before cooking. Save the "rice water" that is rinsed off and pour it on your plants. it's a fantastic fertilizer! God bless

I put my egg shells on a parchment lined cookie sheet and put them in the oven to bake while I'm preheating my oven. Works great!

I thought that I was the only one who made dehydrated banana peal powder.
9 years ago when i learned that banana peels contains potassium and is good for your plants, i decided to take it a step further and make them into powder. I was working at a restaurant and we used a lot of ripe plantains every day.
O washed them and tossed them in the oven on 200°F until they are crisp and snapped easily.
I then put them in a Vitamix blender and powder them out.
I also use to collect egg shells too and turn them into powder, also coffee grounds, but I use coffee grounds to feed my worms. That is one of the most exciting fertilizer projects that you can make for yourself, worm composting. I love doing it better than regular composting.
I never did bonemeal or fish meal, so i still have more stuff to learn.
I will be getting back into the garden as soon as I have my own piece of comfort space to work with.

Just think - what did farmers and gardeners do before big pharma was even around? They used what Nature provided in abundance.

Invaluable information. Some of the most important information on the Internet. Your personality and way you edit and jump from scene to scene is nothing short of perfection

I was today years old when I found your channel. I have to tell you I'm totally blown away!!! So happy I found you!

[darkskinwoman]

I had to pausr the video at 1:20 to tell you that I love everything you are about, and how you do what you do. You're my new best friend in my head...

I have been gardening for about 6 yrs now. Raised bed. But find that all the fertilizer is so expensive. Thank you more than I can say for these tips. I am recently retired (77 yrs old) and these tips are amazing. I want to live as self sufficient as possible. We live in strange times and we do not know what is next. The more I can do on my own the better. I have started saving all my own seeds too. This is actually a lot of fun. I do a lot of canning and dehydrating. I have a great pantry. I feel like a pioneer woman. Such fun. Thanks again for great tips. This was gold.

i garden in raised beds and what i do is during the winter and fall ( if I dont have anything growing) i literally bury my kitchen scraps in the garden. I also bury meat scraps and bones. then i top with shredded leaves. the worms do all the compsoting work. i am one of those gardeners that bury fish too. if you are worried about smell, bury about 1 foot deep then sprinkle with a dash of garden lime (cuts smell) then top with soil and leaves. I never have pest coming to my garden doing this!

Ok missy, when does your book come out? I’m ready to preorder! So much content on your channel. Each episode is packed with useful info. I try to take notes but a book would be awesome!!👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏽

[wuznotbornyesterda]

You don't need to dehydrate everything with the dehydrator, if you have a climate contolled house. Just spread out those coffee grounds and let them air dry. Also you can just drop your egg shells into a paper bag and when they sit there, they will dry. When the bag ends up full just use a wooden dowel to crush them down. It's good for hens to strengthen their eggs. Bones can beturned into bone broth in your crock pot. Cover with water and cook at least 25 hrs. They will just crumble in your hands.

Thanks for being concise and not make me watch endless cutting and mixing. Some people take forever for one simple recipe.

Hello friend 😊, This is a video that should go viral !…. Once again I’ve learned a book of knowledge in less than 25 minutes 😂…I will revisit this video many times to get each technique down when I’m ready to make one of these golden recipes of fertilizer 😅.. I appreciate your time and your help ! May God continue to bless you as you bless other ❤, Melissa from Pennsylvania .

[monsurbanpatch]

I put my egg shells into an old icecream 🍦 container with a hole cut in the lid. Once it's full it's naturally dried and then I use the end of a rolling pin to crush them (like mortar and pestle), it's so satisfying when hearing them crunch. It doesn't smell or anything either 😊

[scottmiller]

Farm Girl, this old Southern Man loves your site! The addition of recipes, storage and $MONEY$ savings, applications too numerous plants with PH and other concerns are addressed in your comprehensive tutorials. The way you impart wisdom is WONDERFUL, you answer questions and concerns before I can even comment on. THANK YOU for the wonderful addition to my FAVORITE LIST!

Many coffee shops will have bags of free coffee grounds by their doors for gardeners to take. That said, it's worth noting that most of the acid in coffee comes out in the brewing process. Coffee grounds are very good for the compost pile.
JODAM... on the way! 😃 That looks so easy.
If you make your own yogurt, save the strained off whey to add to water for your garden. Instant source of calcium for your plants!
