I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I was wondering if anyone has ever used vegetable or fruit juice to feed their plants. I'm sure it has been done before, but I cant find anything on it. Vegetables and fruits have such a complex nutrition profile, and wasn't sure if the plants can utilize those nutrients in the raw through a juicer and composting the waste for next grow? For example I looked at raw beets and their profile and was quite impressed.
