Seed Packet Banner & Compost Tea
I ran across some
old empty seed packets
that
Buzz had stowed away
and thought they would make a
FuN BaNner
"Rusty"
cheese graters
could be strung up too,
maybe with twinkling lights inside.
What do you think?
Buzz keeps all kinds of
Goodies
in the
Garden Shed
tempting me to explore.
Still,
as you can see,
it's a working shed
too.
Today,
while I'm taking pictures,
he's making
"Compost Tea"
Buzz's Compost Tea Recipe
(He makes this every two to four weeks)
Great for Organic Gardening
You'll need:
A Clean Five Gallon Bucket
Aquarium BubblerPainters Strainer
High-Quality Dark Compost
Sorgum Molasses
Rain Water (or Tap water that has set in the sun for two days)
To Make it:
Fill the bucket with water
Fill the strainer bag/pouch with compost
Tighten pouch & suspend it in Water
Add 3 or 4oz of Sorgum Molasses
Make sure it's in a shady spot
Turn on the Bubbler
Allow to run for 18 to 24 hours
*The white foam on top is a good thing
To Use it:
Dilute with rain water (2/1 or 4/1)
Use a Watering Can to water individual plants
or use as a foliar spray directly on the leaves.
Best Wishes

I love the rusty garden tools. I've seen lights in the graters. Yes, that would be adorable!

ReplyDeleteLove your banner so much. I too adore making banners. Smart idea to spray the leaves. I sure do agree with you about $tree. I could go crazy in that place.
