Gardening experts share simple, easy ways to make your garden seedlings “dance” this summer.
Many of us will be spending time in the garden this summer tending to our pots and plants. But buying fertilizer, soil, and gardening supplies can often be costly. One gardening expert shares his cheap and easy tips for keeping your seedlings healthy this summer.
@creative_explained, a popular gardening and hack enthusiast on TikTok, has garnered over 100 million likes on his videos and has 6.4 million followers. Over 200,000 people have liked his videos. In the video, he explains that it only takes four steps to make your seedlings “grow strong,” and you'll need a few items you probably already have at home.
Sharing the advice, the content creator said: “Did you know that if you crush an eggshell in a cup, empty a tea bag, add half a teaspoon of cinnamon, pour in water and let it steep for at least 24 hours, it will taste delicious.”
The longer you leave it, he added, the better. He continued, “Then use a coffee filter to squeeze out the liquid and you have your homemade natural nutrient mix that you can sprinkle on your seedlings' soil to protect them and help them grow strong and thrive.”
He adds: “Do this to your seedlings this spring. They'll love it and you'll love watching them grow!”
People rushed to comment, with many quick to try and get the scam, with one person saying: “I have the same plant about the same size, will give this a try,” while another added: “I'll try this on dragon fruit,” while a third added: “Thanks, I needed this.”
A fourth commented: “Use old coffee grounds instead of tea, it works just as well.”
