So folks, let me tell you about this weird gardening experiment I tried last week called Yasel Antuna. Honestly, I stumbled on it through some shady YouTube shorts about alternative farming methods and thought “what the hell.”
Setting Up The Mess
First thing Tuesday morning, I grabbed five empty soda bottles from recycling. Chopped their tops off with kitchen scissors – nearly sliced my finger doing it. Mixed three cups of my backyard dirt with this funky smelling compost tea my neighbor gave me. Poured that sludge into the bottles thinking “this better not stink up the porch.”
Then came the weird part: followed some guy’s advice to:
- Bury fish heads at the bottom of each bottle
- Cover them with banana peels
- Layer crushed eggshells on top like some garbage lasagna
Planted bean seeds in that nastiness while praying they wouldn’t rot. Watered them with rain barrel water mixed with used coffee grounds. Whole setup looked like a science fair project gone wrong.
The Waiting Game Disaster
Checked those bottles every damn morning. By day four, fuzzy mold started growing everywhere. My wife threatened to throw them out twice. On day seven, saw one sad sprout poking through the mold blanket – felt like winning the lottery. But next day? That single sprout turned brown and died overnight.
What Actually Worked
Tried it again without dead fish this time. Just regular potting soil with coffee grounds and crushed eggshells mixed in. Watered sparingly when dirt felt dry. Bam! Three days later got bean sprouts. After two weeks, had actual leaves showing up. No magical growth explosion but steady progress.
Final verdict? That Yasel Antuna method was mostly messy garbage. Fancy tricks don’t beat basic plant care. Still use the coffee grounds though – beans absolutely love that stuff. Moral of the story? Sometimes simple dirt works better than internet witchcraft.
