Beer Gardens Can Help Plants Thrive
by Bryan Traficante
Beer , one of America ’ s favorite alcoholic beverages , can be used for more than a tailgate or night on the town . Bryan Traficante explains how using your leftover beer also has the potential to invigorate and protect gardens , enhance soil , protect against garden pests , and promote compost decomposition .
Your plants love beer as much as you do . Thankfully , though , they ’ re not picky . Plants don ’ t care if their beer is fresh , so passing off leftovers from a party or tailgate , or brews that have expired ( yes , beer does expire ), isn ’ t a problem . It is important to note , however , that even though beer is around 90 per cent water , it almost always needs to be diluted and mixed with other ingredients for garden use . Also , avoid beer with a high alcohol content ; your plants are , and will always be , lightweights .
