“If you’re interested in an organic fertilizer for house plants, I’m here to give you the straight poop about a good product that will make your house plants sit up and take notice. It’s called POOpeas, and don’t let the name fool you, it works very well to perk up plants that seem to be too pooped to pop. And, it’s all organic, so it’s a good choice for those of us interested in living a lifestyle that is less oriented toward chemicals.
POOpeas originates from the south end of northbound cattle, and it undergoes several composting and processing steps before it emerges as a granular organic fertilizer that is suitable for amending soil or making a manure tea. I opted for the latter approach during my testing of the product. My interest was to get it down deep into the soil so it might have an opportunity to work fast and show me its stuff. And, it did.

 

My 10 year old Shefflera was looking quite disinterested in life, so I mixed up a batch of manure tea, according to instructions on the POOpeas packaging, and gave my plant a couple of glasses full.

 

 

The before and after pictures say a lot more than I can describe.

I think you’ll find this product lives up to it’s claims as a remedy for sick house plants. It’s an organic fertilizer that is clean and easy to use, has no odor, and I found it to be rather economical as well. One scoop of the poop provided several glasses of manure tea. I just poured off the liquid and refilled the glass with fresh water to make another batch with the leftovers at the bottom of the glass.

Just be careful after you stir up the fertilizer in the glass. It looks so much like a dark, rich cola that I almost made a grab for it to have a swig – several times. What a surprise that would have been! Who knows what I might have sprouted as a result of such a momentary misadventure in manure.
