Got milk?
What's a cow have to do with the garden? EVERYTHING! After all, we depend on cows for things like milk and even manure and cows depend on plants!
Milk is high in calcium. Calcium (Ca) is a mineral. Plants need calcium for growth of young roots and shoots. It makes cell walls healthy. You can tell that they may not be getting enough calcium if the edges of new leaves curl or die. On tomatoes you see “blossom end rot” which looks like a sunken, decayed spot on the end of the tomato farthest from the stem.
