Vegetable Water Question

[cannalearna]

Thanks to some advice from a Wal-Mart employee, I have been saving all the vegetable water from cooking and feeding it to my plants. They seem to love it, but I was wondering if there was a certain cycle it may interfere with. I tried foliar feeding, but it left a residue on the leaves so I rinsed it off and stopped foliar feeding. I used broccoli, green beans, and carrot water.

hope you don't put salt in the water when you cook that colored water from cooking is from solubles but salt in your cooking watercan give plants sodium poisoning

that's really a form of rapid manufacture compost tea type
nutrients soluble stuff

No I don't use salt, but I didn't even think of that. Thanks.

Even without adding salt, that probably has way too much in it. It'd be a great thing to add to a composter or a worm bed, but straight into the plant pot? Not a good idea. It might work at first, but then you'll start to notice problems from salt build up as your electrical conductivity goes wacky in your soil. Not worth it.
