Did I tell you I am a gardener now? I have always wanted to have a garden, and this is my year!
We planted squash, zucchini, heirloom tomatoes, broccoli, basil, spinach, salad greens, and rosemary.
I am a novice. I have a vague
understanding about how all of this stuff works, but I need a little guidance about how to make it all happen.
This summer I was visiting my parents and was excited about my mom’s small suburban garden. She grows blueberries, squash, tomatoes, and mint.
This was the premier year for squash growing, and after much anticipation, only two squash were produced. They were about the size of my thumb.
The “bounty” of the five squash plants was underwhelming.
It was during this season of disappointment that I had the chance to try Naked Nure.
Royal Ranch’s Naked Nure is llama manure made friendly for suburban and indoor fertilizing.
I may not know a lot about gardening, but I know that farmers shovel manure onto their gardens, and that it is good for the plants!
Judy from the Royal Ranch offers a more educated summation on her blog:
Not only is it a fantastic fertilizer, but it is a wonderful soil conditioner. Besides being extraordinarily high in the N-P-K nutrients commonly known, it leeches calcium, magnesium and sulfur into the soils. These nutrients are great for soil fertility and quality. Manure also increases water retention by adding organic material which helps reduce compaction of soil.
Now your plants can enjoy the goodness of manure without you having to break your back with a shovel.
Naked-Nure comes in convenient fabric “tea bags”. To get the nutrients for your plants, just soak the manure filled tea-bag in your water can or other container (I used a 5 gallon bucket) and pour the “poop tea” (bwahaha!) on your plants.
Mom’s squash plants actually did start producing at a faster rate after a daily drink of poop tea. I served them each afternoon for about two weeks.
Then when the tea lost it’s potency, I opened the tea bag and poured out it’s contents around the base of Mom’s blueberry bushes.
Naked~Nure is 100% all natural llama manure in handy, eco-friendly, reusable tea bags. Llama manure is higher in nutrients than any other barnyard animal and can be used immediately, thanks to the very efficient three chamber stomach of the llama. We have created two types of tea bags, one for indoor use and one for outdoor. Both bags are made of recycled materials and can be reused.
Starting today, Naked~Nure is having a 50% off sale! This is a grade chance to get your soil conditioned before it rests for the winter.
The “indoor bags” will be marked down from $12 to $6, and the “outdoor bags” will go from $22 to only $11!
No word on how long this promotion will last, so act now
