A green garden is a treasure chest of natural ingredients. This book is for the DIY-gardener who loves experimenting and likes using the natural cycle of their garden. In this practical book, you will find all the secrets of the active agents in your plants. Mix your own compost and top soil, or brew liquid manure, garlic spray, and anti-itch ointments.
With your own garden’s chemistry, you can feed your plants and fight infestations in a natural way. You can make your own plant-based fertilizer, anti-slug spray, and soil enhancer. Or take your garden’s power into your house by creating organic colorants, all-purpose cleaner, or after-sun cream. Plant Chemistry fits right into a lifestyle of waste-reduction and circular living.
