Organic Fertilization For Plants In My Garden, Broccoli, Cauliflowers, And More
Maybe we can't change the environment with ourselves. But with small actions that are also done by others, it will have a big impact on the environment. We can apply it around us, activities that are closest to our activities, for example by gardening at home.
There are so many ways to make plants grow well. Many people use chemical fertilizers to boost the size and quantity of the harvest. Even so, of course, it has a bad impact on the environment.
When I decided to garden, I was determined to use organic fertilizer in my garden. It's not a matter of the size and quantity of the harvest. But I want to avoid chemicals as much as possible since this activity is for my kitchen table. I also heard that chemical fertilizers will damage the soil in the long term, also pests will attack more easily and plants become vulnerable to attack.
As long as I garden, it's very exciting to be able to apply organic farming. For organic fertilizer, I use compost, liquid fertilizer from liquid compost, egg shell powder, and also manure. I combine all of them or sometimes I only use manure because in my village the manure material is still available.
You can see the results yourself, I have posted videos about my organic garden on my YouTube channel. Like the one I just posted, I posted about growing pak choy with maximum results even though I only use one type of fertilizer until harvest. You can see my video here, available on some subtitles, about How To Grow Bok Choy From Seeds To Harvest:
So, for today, I will invite you to see my activities in caring for vegetable plants in my garden using organic fertilizer.
First, I will fertilize broccoli plants that are two weeks old after transplanting. This fertilization is the first fertilization phase for my broccoli plants.
Before fertilizing, I clean the weeds. Also, I do pruning 2-3 of the bottom leaves. Then next, I add enough manure.
After broccoli, I also did the second fertilization on the cauliflower plants. These cauliflowers are getting bigger. They are 5 weeks old after transplanting. Just like broccoli plants, I also pruned the bottom leaves of these cauliflower plants, also cleaning weeds.
After finishing with the cauliflower plants and broccoli plants, next, I went to the shallot plants. This time it was different with the planting method that I did. If previously I did the method of growing shallots from bulbs, then this time I grew shallots from seeds.
This is what the shallot plants that I planted from seeds look like. They are already two weeks old after being transplanted. So, I have to fertilize them.
Don't forget to loosen the soil around the shallot plants carefully. Because they have roots that do not penetrate the soil long, so be careful they can be pulled out of the planting medium.
These are the shallot plants that have been given manure. Hopefully, they can grow optimally and produce bulbs.
Besides broccoli, cauliflower plants, and also shallots, I also gave fertilizer to cherry tomato plants, yesterday. But not giving them manure. For tomato plants, still 12 days old after transplanting. I added eggshell powder.
So, today was quite an exciting day in my organic garden. Have you done any gardening today?

Good morning dear friend @anggreklestari happy start of the week
To change the things that are happening with the environment, small actions and awareness of all people are enough, everything starts with one.
The idea of planting our own food is to be able to consume fresh products free of things that contaminate it
You are doing a great job in your garden, congratulations
yeah, start small around is really helpful
Have a great day!
Love to see your garden thriving well. mbak.
gonna need to work on mine when I get back home, and have time to attend them.
does the egg shell works well to add some calcium to the plant?
Yes, eggshell great for tomato, chilli, and cucumber plants 😊
Thank you Team 😊
Hi lady @anggreklestari
What a great job you do in your garden, especially because you take care of the environment
Have a lovely day
Thank you 😊
Happy gardening young lady, home-grown always tastes way better not so! No pesticides, no lengthy refrigeration, etc. Nice seeing your video @anggreklestari
Well, for now my fridge is broken, so that's why I try to produce fresh vegetables
Thank you for stopping by ❤️❤️❤️
Just watched your video, so envious of your bok choi, they look amazing!
Oh, thank you so much for your time, watching my video. Well, I thought the sun and climate played a big role. Since bok choi is Asian green leaves, maybe there is a reason. So, I try to plant the local veggies in your living area such be great now :)
Have a great day
Wow, the garden is incredibly beautiful and very fertile❤
Thank you, there is a big maintenance every day but I love it

Qué bonita huerta, nosotros estamos en época de siembra. Siempre es bueno fertilizar nuestros cultivos para asegurar tener buenos frutos.

I guess organic fertilization is something that should gain more and more space in plantations around the world.
