I have been actively gardening for at least 15 years of my life and I have heard of most things people put on their garden. Some of them add value and others just take the value from your pocket/wallet.
3 months ago I read an article about feeding the microbiological organisms in your garden with milk. It caught my attention because my mother did this with all her house plants growing up. I asked her why she gave the plants a little milk and she said it makes the leaves shine. I continued to read wanting to learn more, I was surprised that they were talking about acres of crop and pasture land. I read more trying to understand how many hundreds of gallons they wanted a person to apply to an acres of pasture. To my surprise it was very little and the documented facts looked very promising!
Since spring is right around the corner in AR I thought I would take some time today and apply some milk to our gardens.
Stephanie had 1/3 gallon of whey from making yogurt on Friday.
I mixed these with some rain water into a 4 gallon sprayer.
Now it is time to start spraying. I had the sprayer set to a fine mist and it covered the ground well.
The name of the article is "Milk & Molasses - Magic For Your Garden" I would look it up and take some time to read it, it could unlock you garden this year!
If you do this for your garden or have other items you put into your garden I would love to hear them! It is great to share with the community!!
