A homemade palm tree food solution will promote growth and stability. The faster a young palm tree grows, the sooner you can remove the unsightly wooden braces. Many newer homes in the southern United States are built atop nutrient-poor fill, which is not conducive to healthy plant growth. Adding a homemade plant food solution will improve the tree's growth rate and overall appearance. This is also useful if you're trying to help a smaller tree "catch up" in size so it's the same height as the others in your landscape. This mixture is totally natural, so it will not endanger wildlife, pets or children.

Things You'll Need
• 4 raw eggs
• 4 cups of water
• Blender or food processor
• Bucket or large watering can1 cup of 2 percent milk2 tbsp. Epsom salt2 tbsp. boraxMixing spoonShow (5) More
Instructions
1.
o 1
Place four raw eggs, including the egg shells, into a blender or food processor with 2 cups of water.
o 2
Blend on high until the eggshells have disintegrated into tiny bits.
o 3
Pour the egg and water mix into a bucket or a large watering can. The eggs will add protein and calcium to the homemade palm tree food.
o 4
Add an additional two cups of water to the mixture in the bucket or watering can.
o 5
Add one cup of 2 percent milk. Milk also contains protein and calcium, which improves the tree's ability to produce nitrogen.
o 6
Add 2 tbsp. of Epsom salts to provide the palm tree with magnesium and sulfates.
o 7
Add 2 tbsp. of borax powder to provide the tree with boron.
o 8
Mix the homemade palm tree fertilizer with a large mixing spoon. Stir until the Epsom salts and borax have dissolved. You'll no longer feel a grittiness on the bottom of the bucket when they've dissolved.
o 9
Pour the mixture at the very base of the palm tree. Stay near the trunk, as palm trees have a very small root ball. If you pour it a foot away, the plant food will miss the tree's roots.

Just come across this website maturepalmtree.com advertising a product with this statement..........Now, you're probably wondering how and why John can do all those things without using harmful commercial products.

Let me explain.

50 years ago, John Perez poured on his palm trees by mistake, a product that we all have in our kitchens today. Days later, what he saw completely changed his life...

He couldn't believe how fast his palm trees vigor and color improved.

...has any bought it is it a genuine product

Just come across this website maturepalmtree.com ...

Feeding your plant something is better than nothing. The site capitalizes on the latter. Notice how the city mentioned on the site is near your home? This is inserted based on your internet address. Notice how the performance claims are way over the top? They are offering to sell you a recipe for $27. You still have to buy the ingredients. Instead you could buy a professional palm fertilizer for less money in the long run. There are several on the market, here is the one I sell: Grow More 18-6-18 Palm (http://www.plantsthatproduce.com/gm-18-6-18-palm-5lb.html).
