From yesterday. Applied the hydrated alfalfa pellets, cold mulching natural fertilizer, to several transplanted starters & seedlings. I have only used 1/4 of bucket -> it fed 30 transplanted starters & 60 seedlings.
Today, I'm feeding our fruit trees/shrubs/more food/flower plants & putting some where I had recently broadcast sowed more alternative cover crop seeds.

This is the consistency texture that you want, when hydrating #alfalfa feed pellets to create natural mulching fertilizer for your gardens/orchards.

@richpuchalsky I blocked a local white saviour woman here, last year, for being a 'Karen' about me/Mom using cardboard to mulch/kill off unwanted weeds/suffocate unwanted lawn grass. She was trying to tell me that all my efforts are killing the environment & telling me to use shit that most poor folks can't afford to buy in large quantities. I informed her that I've worked on multiple small farms that also use cardboard mulching methods because they also can't afford to buy a bunch of shit to deal with larger acreages where there's too many unwanted weeds/old lawn grass. She said, they're all destroying the environment too by using cardboard 🤡 White saviour types like her are condescending as fuck towards POC & small farmers, in general.
STFU, sit the fuck down. Unless you're offering to buy us all the shit you think we should be using - recognize that you have more privileges than most of us who have been doing food security, rewilding & Indigenous planting for decades - without spending a ton of money that we don't have to spend.

I'm that neighbourhood weirdo who went around my 'hood, with little leaflets, asking for unwanted fish parts/meat bones/coffee grinds donations for my gardening purposes. I have no shame when it comes to trying to source free useful stuff for my gardening efforts.

I started this huge pot of #sorrel from a small handful of free seeds, 4 years ago. I've been harvesting/eating from it, year round ever since! I keep roots mulched in Winter. It keeps providing fresh healthy food, every single season 👩🌾💚👍

I make homemade banana peel liquid fertilizer, weed teas with comfrey & weed cuttings & fish/seaweed fertilizers - all natural. I don't buy fertilizer - no need to spend money on any, when I can make my own. I use large old food grade buckets to make my various #NaturalFertilizers.

Some of our homemade #compost #soil. It's like gold to us gardeners 💚👩🌾
Prepping some large pots with it, to get ready for transplanting of my tomato plants in 2-3 weeks. I put a fish head & banana peel at bottom of each large pot.#SoilHealth #Gardening #FoodSecurity #NaturalFertilizer #ZeroWaste #FrugalGardening

Morning transplanting is done 👩🌾💚👍
There's bok choy, sui choy, Chinese mustard greens & baby bok choy.
All transplanted to remediated soil area - it used to be lawn grass with crappy soil with too much clay.

Making some weed tea with #comfrey leaves. One of 6 buckets of natural #fertilizer tea.
Some will be used as topical plant spray & rest used as soil drench at plant bases. I put the spent leaves at bases as part of mulch after.#FrugalGardening #Gardeners #DIYgardening #NaturalFertilizer #HomemadeFertilizer #PlantFood

My burgundy #LaceCap #hydrangeas have begun blooming 😍
I grew these plants from doing several leaf cutting propagations. #FrugalGardening involves a lot of #PlantPropagation from free cuttings. Hydrangeas are one of the easiest plants to propagate from leaf cuttings.

#FrugalGardening tip.
I collect flat shaped medium sized rocks. They're very useful for helping plants that need a lot of heat. I leave rocks in sun to heat up all day. After evening watering, I put the sun warmed rocks at bases of heat needy plants. This helps them to grow faster & healthier, without spending money.
I heat rocks in fires, in Fall & Winter & put into clay pot, bottoms up, lidded incubators to heat greenhouse with zero electricity.

#Borage cutting #PlantPropagation success.
Last month, I took 6 borage cuttings to propagate. 4 out of the 6 were successful. This one developed very quickly, after developing roots.

Once upon a time, many folks told me that #lupines can't be #propagated by cuttings because they're very sensitive.
I decided to challenge that with #PlantPropagation experiments. I tried to propagate lupine cuttings in water, with rooting powder, with raw aloe vera gel & with raw honey & cinnamon. This is a successful new plant from honey/cinnamon rooting! I did it!
I'm so happy about this🥰

Our #RoseBuds are starting to unfurl. Lots of #rose blooms are coming out soon 😍
Almost all the roses we have growing in our gardens, except for 1, were all propagated from free cuttings.I'm not a rich woman so I'm quite huge on #FrugalGardening. #PlantPropagation from cuttings is one of my fave ways to grow free #plants 👍
