Chocolate All Around For Our Plants!

We put chocolate waste products around our plants and trees, on the farm, as organic fertiliser.

There is a small, but thriving, chocolate-making place in Punta Gorda which supplies us with all their waste products from making chocolate.  The waste is highly nutritious and has a high nitrogen content.  It takes about 2 to 3 months for the trash to break down to release the fertiliser.  The chocolate is so potent that it kills all the weeds around our plants so it also helps with weed control.

So, Chocolate All Around For Our Plants; Nothing but the best!
