Don't waste stale bread: Turn it into eco‑friendly plant fertilizer
Stale, hardened bread is most often thrown into the bin. That's a mistake. Bread in this state can still create an eco-friendly fertilizer for plants, including crops.
Have you ever thrown out stale bread? If you are a fan of eco-friendly solutions and have a garden or balcony, you will never do it again. Simply transform hardened bread into something your plants will later thank you for.
The recipe is especially recommended for those who have a vegetable garden. This fertilizer will help the plants in your beds grow vigorously.
Don't throw away stale bread. You can make the best fertilizer out of it
We only need 3-4 slices of stale bread to prepare the nutrient. A jar of water, sugar, and cow's milk are also necessary. Cut the bread into small pieces and place them in a large jar. Pour 300-400 millilitres of water over the bread and add a tablespoon of sugar. Set this mixture aside for a few hours.
Later, strain the bread from the water and add a few tablespoons of cow's milk. Now, you have ready-to-use fertilizer to help your vegetables grow healthy and strong.
There's another option if you don't want to use cow's milk. You will only need whole-grain bread and water. Cut the bread into pieces, soak it, and let it ferment. After a few days, the fertilizer will be ready to use.
Zamioculcas in need
Stale bread can be used to prepare a nutrient for potted plants. The following recipe works well for Zamioculcas. Crumble the stale bread into small pieces, then cover it with water to submerge the bread. Cover the bowl with a weighted plate and set it aside for a few days. After that, strain it through a sieve.
Mix the resulting liquid with water at a ratio of 1:3. Water the Zamioculcas with this mixture once a week. You can also pour the nutrient into a container with a spray bottle.
