The application of a fermented apple product to flora represents a practice employed by some gardeners and plant enthusiasts. This liquid, characterized by its acetic acid content, is sometimes diluted and used in various ways, targeting aspects of plant health and soil condition.
Advocates propose several potential benefits, including the ability to adjust soil pH, act as a cleaning agent for foliage, or even provide a mild deterrent against certain pests. Historically, anecdotal evidence and small-scale experiments have fueled these claims, although rigorous scientific validation is often lacking. The dilute solution’s acidity may, theoretically, improve nutrient availability in alkaline soils. Furthermore, its cleansing properties could remove residue from leaves, potentially enhancing photosynthesis.
