Homemade fertilizer experiment

[Chic Rustler]

I really wish my tomato plants would darken up. They are still a little pale. Im going to give it a few more days and dose them again. If that doesnt work i have chicken manure...

You can definitely see the growth!

6/6/17 pretty good growth. I got another bucket brewing. No aerator yet tho.

Tomatoes like epsom salts and calcium along with nitrogen.

Top was taken on 6/11, bottom right on 5/28 fertilized with manure tea again on 6/10

They don't look pale to me. They look good!

I made a mix of urine, water and tums. I poured a little around a couple of the smaller tomatoes. We will see what happens

Tomatoes look good to me too...and the squash!

Well i figured i would give the epsom salts a try. The bag said spread 2 tablespoons around each tomato and less on others. I gave them all a little. Hopefully the minerals will do good.

I also got another bucket of slop brewing. This time with aeration! Hopefully it will stink less. Its a cheap little battery operated aerator for minnows. We will see how that goes.

So far im pretty happy with the garden. As long as i dont do anything to mess it up we might have a good summer
