Menstrual fluid for fertilizer
Clearly I'm interested in alternative means of fertilizing my garden :shifty
I remember reading about it around fall of 07 and thinking of doing it last spring but I was pregnant. Since my cycles have evidently returned, I'm considering doing it again. Has anyone tried this? Do you think if I started to save it now, it would keep? I was thinking of just putting it in a closed container in the bathroom and emptying my diva into it. Or make an official experiment and have one pot of something with menstrual fluid, another pot with some other form of organic fertilizer, another without any. Am I freak or what? :giggle |

I have never heard such a thing. Honestly it makes me feel :sick but that's probably b/c I'm pregnant and everything is gross to me. :shifty

I'm considering just trying it on some marigolds since I will likely give some of my veggies away and I'm sure that would freak people out if they knew. |
Re: Menstrual fluid for fertilizer
hmmm...there are a lot of thoughts running through my head right now :jawdrop :sick :hunh :scratch :think :shifty
What about wild animals does it smell wouldn't it start to get rotten after keeping it... okay inquiring minds....tell me more. |

it's very rich in minerals and high in iron :yes
If you soak cloth pads in a clay pot you can use the water on your garden :) |
Re: Menstrual fluid for fertilizer
Wow, I never would have thought to do that but I'm sure it would be VERY beneficial to the plants! :shifty I would never be able to get away with it- my DH just couldn't handle that and I doubt I could pull it off without him noticing the container somewhere :giggle.
I'm curious though and want to know more! :yes |

We lived in an apt and had potted plants. My dh...yes, my dh...used to empty my Glad Rag water into the pots. They were the most beautiful plants ever. I'd do it again...if I ever have regular periods. I bet it would be good on veggies...I'd just aim for the roots and not where the "fruit" is.
As far as animals, we have tons of racoons, possums, and coyotes and none made their way to our patio. It would've been easy for them to explore in that direction...but they never did. |

People use blood meal in gardens all the time. What do you think it's made of?

Re: Menstrual fluid for fertilizer
I use cloth pads for backup and I pour the "water" on plants or lawn that comes from soaking the pads.
I wouldn't save it, I think it would get so very nasty, judging from how my container smells after sitting for only a few days... |

We also have a huge compost pile too...would you just put it in there (but I would worry about animals). JITS - I would love to hear the details. |
