Plants require essential nutrients for growth, and fertilizer can aid in replenishing soil. Sustainable DIY fertilization options include using leftover organic materials. Oats and tea leaves are two effective ingredients that offer vital nutrients like phosphorous, nitrogen, and potassium. These ingredients can be applied dry or liquefied for soil enrichment. When combined, oats and tea create a powerful fertilizer that supports healthy soil bacteria, repels pests, and enhances plant growth, making it a completely natural and eco-friendly alternative.
Oats boast some of the biggest nutritional essentials for plants: phosphorous, nitrogen, and potassium as well as zinc, calcium, magnesium, and copper. Oats even have fiber that encourages healthy bacteria in soil that plants can benefit from.
Tea leaves, too, contain phosphorous, nitrogen, potassium, calcium, and magnesium. Combine the two and you've got a free, powerful fertilizer packed with nutrients that's safe for the environment and your pets.
Both oats and tea leaves (black, green, or herbal) can be sprinkled dry onto soil as a sort of mulch or even tossed into soil pockets before planting produce or flowers.
You can also liquefy the ingredients. Simply make an actual tea to pour onto soil. Otherwise, steep oats in water and strain, before pouring the mixture around your plants.
