I always use knox gelatin. The unflavored gelatin in the bright orange box. Add 1 packet to 1/4 cup of warm water to dissolve & then put in a 1 qt of water to mix. Water plants monthly. A natural way to fertilize.
Hi Kathy. Mix one Tablespoon of water in a gallon of water. Pour it where the plant meets the soil. This puts enzymes in the soil and plants thrive with it. Repeat every two weeks. Good luck Kathy. Be well.
Thanks all, this is great information!
Hi Kathy. It's Cindy again. I'm so glad that you caught my mistake. Because this works so well and I wanted to share it with you. Mix one tablespoon of Epson Salt in a gallon of water. Sprinkle it on the soil. I make two gallons at a time. I put this on everything. My gardens look great. Again, sorry about the mistake.
Thank you I will try this!
