I have a book somewhere on making your own fertilizer. been giving my plants beer every now and again, plants in pots. been thinking a little sugar may work as well. the plants look good and with regular granular fertilizer seem to be thriving. anybody ever done this?

I prefer drinking the beer and about an hour later you can drain an excellent liquid fertilizer comparable to miracle grow. ... I'll bet your plant would like it better.

Don't know. ... You were the one that asked the question in the opening post.

I guess I should have worded my question a little differently. anybody use 7up to make their Christmas trees last longer. sodas and the last little sip of beer to feed your plants. then I throw the can in the recycle bin or use it to kill vines.
