Potato Tip

[crucialbunny]

I was doing a little research on organic gardening tips and came
across an article about how old school growers used water they
boiled their potatoes in as a supplement during bud for extra
potassium and magnesium. I honestly didn't know they were so
high in nutrients. Just thought I would share -

Taters are loaded with good stuff, no big surprise. It's a bit much work to get tater water on a regular basis. Were these guys working in a cafeteria or something?

Dunno what their situation was. I was thinking about using freeze dried flakes in my emergency food storage that need to be rotated and see what that looks like. I've used them in my worm bin with no issues,

Ya know that all makes perfect sense to me how good this water would be i may just boil potatoes today and save the water use it to mix the bloom food with. Fun experiment i can't see how it would be harmful at all. Thanks crucialbunny

Idk if it might be harmful. Extra starch load. Potential food source for mold & bacteria? Just a guess. Let us know how it turns out if u try it.

Mold and bacteria is what you look for in a good living soil -
