Not a question more a tip.
Add half a tin of diet colo to a gallon of water as a perk up feed for plants,
Also dont chuck your used ground coffee or the left over cold coffee in the pot away,
tip them around the likes of roses, ribes etc its a good pick up and it stops slugs in their tracks.
crushed epsom tablets in your tomato compost stop's yellowing of the leave's
The water you use for boiling eggs it great for indoor plants "once its gone cold again,
Keep a set of plastic ice cube makers (the ones you use in the freezer) mark them so you know they're "Now" not fo human use and make a fertilizer cube freeze it and during the hot weather use these frozen cube's for hanging baskets etc they melt slowly and the plants get all the feed without any dripping away.
And a good sit on the garden bench "cup in hand" will do you a power of good.

Hi Timmyh,
Yes it's the high % of calcium from hard boiled egg water that the plants love,
And if you crush the egg shell into tiny pieces and add this to the tomato/pepper plants compost both these plants will thank you for the high calcium content in the shells.

"Chatbud",
You can't say things like "coke" on here, some members will think "as my neighbours once did" Im dealing in drugs".( used a grow light during the night in my greenhouse and they thought my tomato plants we're drugs growing)
But yes its coco cola drink.
Thanks for taking the time to read the blog.

Some good tips Dungy, I will try the ice cube one (not that they would melt very quickly today!)
