Don’t forget West, TX. Blew the town apart. I remember seeing the smoke cloud from the DFW area.

Cessation of mean tweets is worth any amount of inconvenience

How to Make Your Own Lawn Fertilizer

Here are a few simple homemade lawn fertilizer recipes you can probably make without even going to the store (simply mix the ingredients and apply to areas of the lawn):

Recipe #1
1 can non-diet soda
1 can beer
½ cup (118 mL) dish soap (NOT antibacterial)
½ cup (118 mL) ammonia
½ cup (118 mL) mouthwash
10 gallons (38 L) of water

Recipe #2
1 can beer
1 can non-diet soda
1 cup baby shampoo
10 gallons (38 L) of water

Recipe #3
16 tbsp. (236 mL) Epsom salts
8 oz. (227 g.) ammonia
8 oz. (226 g.) water

Recipe #4
1 can tomato juice
½ cup (118 mL) fabric softener
2 cups (473 mL) of water
2/3 cup (158 mL) orange juice

Spread any of these homemade lawn fertilizers across your lawn once every week or two until you achieve your desired look. Be careful not to over-fertilize! Too much of any good thing can be bad, and a buildup of even the best nutrients can harm your lawn.

Beer: Beer is actually full of nutrients that feed both the grass and the microbes and bacteria that promote its health.
Soda: Soda (NOT diet) contains plenty of sugar that feeds those same microbes with carbohydrates.
Soap or Shampoo: This makes the ground more absorptive and receptive to your homemade lawn fertilizers. Just make sure to stay away from antibacterial soap, as this could kill all those good microbes you’ve been feeding.
Ammonia: Ammonia is made of hydrogen and nitrogen, and plants thrive on nitrogen.
Mouthwash: Surprisingly, mouthwash is a great pesticide that won’t harm your plants.
