Made by Worms

I know that with a potted garden, it's important to regularly fertilize the plants regularly since the plants will quickly use all the nutrients in the soil. I've been giving my plants some plant food with their daily watering, but I was told by the nursery that I bought it from that it is not a replacement for fertilizer. 

So, today I went searching for the right kind of fertilizer for my garden. I wanted something that would be just as good for flower pots as for veggie plants. Most options I saw were either loaded with chemicals (to the point where I think I'd want to wear gloves to distribute) or were of the type where you attach a container with the fertilizer to your hose and spray spray spray. I don't have a hose, so that option is way out.

I ended up buying a very interesting product. It's a fertilizer, from a company called Terracycle, made with worm poop...you don't get much more organic than that.  It comes in a handheld bottle with a spray nozzle. Spray on the plants and the soil once a week.  That's it. 

Now, here's another interesting tid-bit. The company, Terracycle, very much promotes recycling. In fact, the bottle that the product is sold in is simply a used soda bottle.  The company creates products from waste. That's all they do. Pretty clever.
