My 10G girly tank sits very near my patio door.
A few weeks ago I decided that, rather than haul the pans of syphoned out water to the sink or tub to dump, I'd just step outside and dump the fish water on my plants.

MAN are they growing like mad. It's the best darn fertilizer on earth.
Just thought I'd share!

Yes, they love it!

get a very long syphon hose, and just walk over and water the plants as it's draining :lol:

I dump all my fish water out on my indoor plants, they're doing great!
:starwars: <----(just cause I haven't used that emoticon before)

We use fish water on our outside plants too. Works better than any fertilizer we've bought. You should see our hostas, they get it the most. :)

:umm: That would actually work. My tank sits literally like 1 foot away from the patio door - it's around the corner so no sunlight comes in but that would work with the vauum I already have!!!

My flowers all look like they're on steroids. LOVE it!

i just pour it dowen the sink the plants in my house have no hope

I pour to my tomatoes plant and it is organic. LOL :lol:

I ran a hose from the 65 in the living room out the front door a few weeks back to water the wife's flowers. She came home from work & just shook her head.

When I clean filters in a 5 gallon bucket I dump the grungy water on they flowers, veggies, bushes, whatever looks thirsty. I've been doing this for a while, awesome free fertilizer.

The hose out the front door was a new trick. I love to do those sort of things just to see her reaction. It's a miracle she has tolerated me this long.

Tolak

its good but it smells

What a great idea! I cleaned four of my tanks yesterday and put the water on one of my roses and my nasturtium. Will have to see what happens since Nasturtium don't really like to be fertilized, but they were kind of stunted so I had to try something. Will have to try it on my indoor plants next. I have a China Doll that isn't doing well for some reason.

:laugh:

She knows her flowers keep blooming big. LOL :lol:

Ohh you all give me such ideas :D my mom's away for two weeks, and.. well I have the duty of water the flowers/garden etc.. I should load up her plants with fishy-poo water, and she'll come back to even more great of plants! hmmm..

BP, i did not know this about nasturtiums. We have been fertilizing ours, b/c they weren't doing very well. They were growing alright...but hadn't flowered yet. So my dad started fertilizing them with the other flowers...and now they are blooming up a storm. I'll keep an eye on them and if they start looking bad, i'll tell him to cut back on fertilizing...i think he only does it once a month.

Thanks for the tip. :)

I should start doing that too, taking out old water and dumping it on the burning lawn.

OOOH - that's a great idea!!!
You COULD start dumping it on certain spots on the lawn so it greens up in certain spots - spelling out words in green! :laugh:

Ohh... I ate my home growth grapes tomatos today that been fertilized only with the betta poo water. :) They are good!!!!! :wow:

At first we thought you were swimming in it but now you're eating it... :laugh:
