Gardening Guru Reveals 'Plant Boost Juice' Secret for Lush Summer Harvests

A popular gardening enthusiast, known as KendraThompson831, has shared her unique recipe for a homemade plant fertilizer she calls "Plant Boost Juice." The concoction, which utilizes common kitchen waste such as banana peels and used coffee grounds, is gaining traction among home gardeners seeking organic solutions for plant nourishment.According to Kendra, the "juice" is prepared by soaking four banana peels and three espresso-sized scoops of used coffee grounds in a large bucket of water for 24 hours. The resulting liquid is then strained to remove solids before application. The creator emphasizes the rich nutrient profile of this homemade mix, noting its high content of potassium, beneficial for strong stems and vibrant flowers; nitrogen, which supports lush leafy growth; and calcium, crucial for healthy roots and fruit production.Kendra advises applying approximately four cups of the liquid per plant, particularly for vegetables and flowers requiring extra care. She suggests a monthly or bi-monthly application, cautioning against excessive use due to the potential for coffee grounds to increase soil acidity over time. The method is presented as a simple yet effective way to achieve "lush growth, vibrant flowers, and juicy produce all summer long," appealing to a broad audience of gardening enthusiasts.
