Fish Fertilizer

How to: Just add 1 kg of sugar to 1 kg of fresh or unwanted fish (cut into some part). Ferment them for 1 month. In between, open the lid weekly or daily for better fermentation and the growth of good microorganism. That's it. :)

It will smell like rotten mango but not fishy smell~ No offensive odor~ And please don't worry about the worms will born inside or not as if you clean the fish thoroughly. It seems not a scary stuff to do by yourself, please be open minded. It is very good for plant. It acts as a booster and organic pesticide to plant. It may cost about RM1X/2X.00 if you buy from the shop... But jz cost me below RM5 as it is made by myself instead!

My new 5 cute plant~

They are so called cactus~

How to propagate nepenthes

Many people may ask about the way how to propagate the nepenthes, and which is the easiest one, as so, I will share out some efficient and the easiest way what I have done from my experience...

Method 1: Water Propagation

Difficulty: 2/5
Time needed: 1-2 months

How to: Just cut down a few sets of stem from your matured / overgrowth plant, inclusive 3 nodes in a section, cut off 1/2 of the leaf to preserve energy, then put them into the clean water. After every week of water changing, about 1-2 months you may see your stem sprout with new nodes and new rootlets. Just plant them into sphagnum moss after their rootlets become established.

My first tomato & cherry tomato are bearing fruit~

At first I thought this 2 I planted from seed is cherry tomato, but now one of them seems to be like normal type~

My first homemade banana flavor Gelato~ Ice cream made with pure fruit without any preservative or sugar added~

GELATO = less fat + no air added = rich cremier taste

How to make simple homemade Fruit Gelato (Very very simple steps needed):

1. Freeze your fruit in freezer. (Chopped them smaller, nicely n equally b4 freezing them. Any fruit can be used. I use only banana here for a creamier taste. You may add in some frozen pineapple, strawberry, grape, apple depends what you want it to be. This is my first try.)

2. Prepare your blending machine. (Normal one is good enough bt make sure it can be used for blending ice as well.)

3. Take out your fruit n blend them immediately. Serve immediately for optimum taste. Enjoy!
