10 Best Homemade Plant Fertilizers

There isn’t a lot you need to know about fertilizing your plants, but we do have a few helpful suggestions. These tips will help!

  • Follow the recipe directions precisely. It’s important to use the right combination of fertilizer and water, so the plants don’t get burned.
  • Use organic and natural ingredients when possible. You can give your garden the much-needed nutrients it deserves without using a bunch of harmful chemicals. This will also allow your DIY fertilizer to be safe to use around pets and kids, too.
  • Be sure to follow usage directions. Some fertilizers will need to be poured into the soil, while others may need to be sprayed on the leaves. Adding the fertilizer the wrong way can hurt the plant, so it’s important to pay close attention.
