wATCH vIDEO !
But, whatever, the benefits are a good thing for us in gardening. SO lets learn how to correctly use the milk in garden.
It’s a simple formula – just two points on this:
– If it’s skim milk, you can pour or spray it directly onto your plant’s leaves – this is called foliar feeding. The leaves will absorb the milk solution.
– Secondly to be on the safer side, use 50 percent Milk + 50% Water and spray on the plants foliage.
Now the question is How often you can do this – the answer is – use of milk monthly once is recommended. And for plants already suffering from blossom end rot problem, along with this quick remedy, you can also used calcium nitrate spray, egg shell powder in soil, bone meal powder and also garden lime in soil.

– Thirdly – one Gardening Hack to use this milk solution : You can pour the milk solution around the base of the plants where the roots will gradually absorb the milk especially for smaller gardens.
The gardening hack here is: Place the top portion of a 1or 2-liter bottle containing milk solution (upside down) in the soil next to the plant. This makes an excellent hack to offer both water and milk feed to your plants.
Lastly 2 more TIPS:
– 1. When you are finished with your milk container, before you wash it out, fill it with water and shake it and water your plants
– 2. Do not spray any form of chemical pesticide or chemical fertilizer after applying milk fertilizer. This can affect the useful ingredients in milk that actually help the plants— that’s the commensal bacteria.

I make way more kefir than I can possibly drink. So 4 gallons of diluted kefir go on my hay field and Lawn everyday. It is great fertilizer. Even if the grass gets burnt the first few days, after a rain the grass grows two or three times faster than the surrounding areas. And much greener.

I have left over expired buttermilk. I will make a 50/50 mixture and put it in my plant on my deck. The calcium has to help the plant somewhat. I hate wasting food at all.
Can you use expired sour cream as a replacement for milk
I grow in containers and its usually hot and must water everyday which leaches all the nutrients out.
I have been having outstanding results by feeding every 7 to 10 days. I use a 2 gallon water can and I fill it almost to the top with water. Then add 1/2 cup skim milk stir well then 1 tablespoon Epsom Salt, 2 tablespoons Miracle Grow for tomatoes (18-18-21) stir well. 1/4 cup Alaska Fish fertilizer and 1/4 cup of seaweed mix…stir well. I divide this among 8 plants.
How about almond milk? Can we use that for plants?
