FOOD FOR POT PLANTS
It is a veil-attested fact that liquid manure, applied at intervals of two or three weeks depending on the condition of the soil in the pots, is one of the safest and sanest stimulants for house plants. The very nature of its consistency makes it immediately available to the roots, and it contains valuable food In sufficient quantity to nourish the plants without forcing them unduly. The only objection to it is the difficulty of obtaining the fresh material out of which it is usually made. Even this obstacle can be quite successfully overcome though, by the substitution of dried cow or sheep manure, obtainable at the larger garden supply stores. If a quart of this material is put in a sack, soaked in a pail of water for an hour or so and then squeezed out, it will give you a liquid manure which will work wonders with under-nourished plants.— Home and Garden.
