Corn is delicious treat

People have been growing corn since the beginning of time and we all love the beautiful spectacle of large corn fields growing in the summer, but mainly we all love corn on the grill! When you finish boiling corn, you are left with a pot of hot water, which you simply pour out. But that is a shame! If you did not add any salt in the pot you can use it and reap the benefits left in the water, because corn releases the best stuff into the water during cooking such as natural sugars and starches. Use this extract to water and nourish your plants.

Rich water

Water where you cook starchy vegetables, such as corn or potatoes, may be used to water your plants. It does not matter whether you are going to use it to water indoor or outdoor plants. The leftover starchy water is high in carbohydrates and contains many other beneficial minerals, nutrients, and vitamins. Sure, you cannot use salt. Salt would hurt your plants. The water basically acts as a nourishing fertilizer and promotes plant growth.
