We have indoor potted plants and trees and will soon have an indoor herb garden, once I get off my lasy ass and build some shelving and wire some lights.
Our water is softened and also charcoal filtered. I have since discovered that miracle gro might not be suitable for potted plants because of the residue it leaves behind. Therefore I am looking for a natural organic alternative to feed potted plants with water form a water softener.
Winter is 5 months long with snow on the ground for 4 of those months so grass clippings is not a year round solution. We have no compost bin because our town collect food waste but is there food waste I can divert to the pots? Coffee grounds, tea grounds, veggie scrapping from the plates? Remember these are indoor pots so smells count, and our water source is softened water.
Any ideas?
