A simple, recipe is making waves in the gardening community, with one user claiming it has turned their plants into non-stop bloomers. The trick is 'weed tea', a nutrient-rich liquid fertiliser made from common yard weeds.

The revelation came in response to a Reddit thread where a horticulturalist asked for the best gardening hacks. One reply stood out among the crowd, offering a trio of eco-friendly soil enrichment tips. The most intriguing of them all was a homemade weed tea recipe that reportedly supercharges plant growth and flowering cycles.

According to the post, the process is straightforward. A five-gallon bucket is packed with weeds, to which a couple of ounces of molasses and a small amount of Epsom salt are added. A couple of cups of compost are mixed in, and the mixture is left to sit, breaking down over time.

"I put about 4 cups of this tea in a two-gallon watering can, fill with water, and root drench every week or two once the plants start to flower," the user said.

The gardener behind this hack speculates that the sugar from the molasses and nutrients from the compost help accelerate decomposition, creating a powerful, natural fertilizer. Even if the mixture isn't aerated, it still provides valuable nutrients to plants.

Fellow gardeners chimed in with praise, pointing out that weed tea is a sustainable way to return nutrients to the soil, reduce waste, and promote healthy, resilient plants. Some even suggested adding dandelions, nettles, or comfrey for an extra boost, as these plants are known for their nutrient-rich composition.

Beyond weed tea, the Redditor also recommended two other key practices. Leaf and cardboard mulching is an effective way to improve soil quality and attract beneficial worms by covering garden beds with leaves and layers of cardboard in the winter.

Composting with fall leaves and coffee grounds creates rich organic matter for the garden by using leaves, post-Halloween pumpkins, and used coffee grounds collected from local cafes.

With such a simple and effective approach, this homemade fertilizer hack is now being embraced by gardeners eager to see their plants flourish.

If you're looking for an easy, cost-effective way to supercharge your garden, it might be time to brew up your own batch of weed tea.
