After a little bit of research I discovered that there are many different household items that you can use on your plants over and above composting. These are the ones I'm planning on trying:
1. Used coffee grinds - Excellent on roses and azaleas, or any plant that likes a higher acidity in the soil.
2. Unused milk - Watering indoor plants with any leftover/expiring milk
3. Epsom Salts - Fantastic for tomatoes, capsicum, chilli plants, roses and pretty much anything else. When first planting, place a tablespoon in the soil and continue to use semi-regularly throughout the year. Especially good if your tomato plant leaves are starting to yellow.
4. Honey - When taking a cutting from a plant, dip the cutting in some honey before planting. It kills all bacteria and promotes growth. No need to buy special root-growing formula.
