Good use for skimate

[_sludgefactory]

I have been mixing my skimate with water to water my house plants with. If you are into house plants like myself then you should try this. I have been getting explosive growth of my plants since starting this. Better than with commercial plant food.

i do the same thing.

My skimmate smells like hot garbage...lol. Do you smell it around the house when the plants are watered? I can see where to extra nutrients would assist plant growth but I don't want to smell that around the house. My wife would have a fit : )

Is there salt in the skimmate? I know that salt water us generally toxic to plant life, that is why Katrina killed all of the oak trees in Biloxi...must not be if this is working for you, I'm gonna try it on my mint plants tomorrow.

I **** the same thing, but there is a pretty high salt content in fertilizer also.

I've started doing it as well. Plants loved it when I was running freshwater tanks and used the black syphoned out dirty water to nourish them, so why not skimmate?

I used to run a filter box full of pothos when i did fresh water. Worked great!

Wait. That's not funny!

I have a question about this? DO you pour it straight into the plant dirt? DO you dilute it? Do you water them this way all the time, or like once a month? I dont want to overdo it

When we have unwanted company over, and they've overstayed their welcome, I decide it's time to empty the skimmer cups on all our tanks. Problems solved.
