This was posted over at Enviroman Says
but today a visitor commented that it really worked for her, so I have decided to repost over here, as as well as being environmentally friendly, one can also save money on pesticide.

Sprout soak water are great natural fertilizer

If you make your own sprouts, what do you do with the soak water? Don't just pour them down the drain. Do you know that the carbohydrates left in the soak water that are difficult for us to digest are great nutrients for plants and vegetable. Use it to water your plants. They are great free natural fertilizer.

Homemade aftershave

Save money, make your own after-shave lotion. Fill an empty
bottle with 20 to 30% rubbing alcohol and add water. Then
add some cologne. Shake it and it is ready to use.
