Why is goat milk the best fertiliser for moss and other terrarium plants?

This is our secret to the beautiful moss we grow in our moss nursery, our ferns and succulents and the orchids and other rock garden plants, in fact our whole farm!

All plants need nitrogen, either gleaned from the soil and substrate or from water uptake. If your plant doesn’t get enough nutrients from rainfall or substrate a mild, organic fertilizer, such as one containing lactic acid from goat milk which non-protein nitrogen content is usually 5-8 % of total nitrogen.

Milk Fertilizer Benefits?

Milk is a good source of calcium, not only for humans, but for plants as well. Raw, or unpasteurized, goats milk has some of the same nourishing properties for plants that it has for animals and people. It contains beneficial proteins, vitamin B, and sugars that are good for plants, improving their overall health and crop yields. The microbes that feed on the fertilizer components of milk are also beneficial to the soil.
