Need Advice

I’m not a fan of using chemicals in my plants, so I prefer natural solutions when needed. Before moving here, I had a fantastic pond outback of my house where I’d scoop up the water and filter it through cloth to remove all the debris. Then, I’d use that water throughout the summer to water my plants and more. That pond water probably made my plants some of the best I’ve ever grown. I flushed out everything we consumed with fresh, clean water before harvesting it. So, here’s my question: how can I recreate that natural environment with good bacteria and stuff for plants outback of my house? I live in subsidized housing, and we have a lot of rules, so I’m trying to find the best way to do it while following the Housing Authority’s rules. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PlantTherapy #Maine #MainePlants
That’s a cool idea! If I could get close to my pond I would totally try it. But I have started using worm meal to feed my plants. The shake feed burnt up my calathea … that and Greg told me to move it closer to the window and it was so unhappy there. The shake feed was just the final nail in the coffin.
