What do you do with crap beer that people generously bring round? In an attempt to use up some of the cans of Stella and John Smith’s we’ve got knocking around from the last party, we’ve been researching some things you can do with excess beer. This will be an occasional series, hopefully with reports on how it’s worked in practice.
Number 1 – the gardening tool. Apparently, beer is useful to fertilise and improve your lawn. This site shows you how you can make various solutions to remove thatch and fertilise the greenery, and this site suggests using beer to remove brown spots.
We’ve not tried this ourselves (the landlord pays for a gardener, so our lawn’s in great shape) but there are lots of other websites out promoting the use of beer on lawns. If anyone’s tried it and it works, do let us know. Can beer be used to fertilise other plants?

Beer traps are great for catching slugs
Do hermaphrodite gastropods refer to Stella as “Self Beater”?
Slug traps do really work. I’ve also in the past poured manky beer over compost – seems to help.
Wow Beer Nut, that’s clever!
That’s just called “pouring it away” Paul.
As our home brewing guru up here told us “If you pour beer onto grass it will come up half cut” It’s his favourite joke, sad really.
No doubt it’s a great option.
Por otro lado, me gustaría comentaros que ya puse el tema para la próxima ronda:La Ronda 2 y que Cotoya( nuestro gran fotógrafo y diseñador gáfico, anda, con vuestro permiso, buscando un logo para la Ronda, a ver que sale). CERVEZA O CERVECERÍALa Ronda que propongo tiene por tema la eterna pregunta de qué fué primero el huevo o la gallina, en este caso se trata de qué prefiere la gente antes La Cerveza o la Cervecería como dije esperamos los posts para el último weekend de Julio o posterior ( ya se sabe jejejeje).
