It's probably better for the plants 😯 after we drink it. 🙄

so, based on your "order", to get rid of salts that build up in plant containers, just add calcium?
But doesn't that make the soil more alkaline? (in the case of acid-loving plants).
I appreciate the lesson!

Adding calcium would help lower the amount of sodium (Na) in the soil, not the amount of salt in the soil. For examples, sodium chloride and magnesium sulfate are salts. The best way to get rid of salt is to continue to water the soil until all of the salts are leached out of the it.

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

There's something GOOD in that internet concoction (the beer one).
Bottle Palm (Hyophorbe lagenicaulis) is opening a spear indoors, a little early this year.
It's got to be because of that beer concoction.
After all, the palm special fertilizer didn't arrive until last week so it can't be that so soon.
