Beer as Fertilizer: Social Media Trend Sparks Debate Among Gardeners

A recent video circulating on social media promotes the use of beer as a plant fertilizer. The video, uploaded by TerraBloom Nursery, shows a gardener mixing beer with water and applying it to various plants. The narrator claims that this method improves soil health, boosts nutrient absorption, and leads to faster growth. However, experts caution against this practice, stating that there's limited scientific evidence to support these claims. "While beer contains some nutrients, it also contains alcohol, which can be harmful to plants in high concentrations," says Dr. Emily Carter, a horticulture expert at State University. The video's popularity raises questions about the spread of unsubstantiated gardening advice online. Further research is needed to determine whether this method has any real benefits or potential risks.
