Organic Gardening With Home-Made Liquid Fertilizer
Every few weeks the plants in your organic garden will benefit from a liquid feed. This gives them a little boost, especially green leafy vegetables.
It’s not that difficult to make your own organic fertilizer – you just need to make sure that whatever you’re using has not been exposed to chemicals. This is pretty easy if you’re using manure from your own chooks or plants that you’ve grown yourself.
For liquid fertilizer that is chicken manure based you’ll need to scoop up about a (9 litre / 2 gallon) bucket full of chook poop! Place the poop in a hessian bag or similar and loosely tie the top of the bag. You’ll need a large tub (preferably one with a tight fitting lid) filled with water to rest the bag in for about a month.
When it’s ready, remove the bag from your tub and add the remains to your compost heap. Dilute the solution til it looks like weak tea, then spray on your organic vegetables, herbs or any plants that need a little boost.
If you want a plant based liquid fertilizer, substitute the manure with plants. You’ll need more plants than you did manure. You can even fill the bag right up. Good plants to use include comfrey, yarrow, nettles or even weeds will do.
If you can’t be bothered making your own there are some great organic liquid fertilizers available on the market. You could try seasol, fish emulsion or worm juice.
Either way your organic garden will reward you with improved vigor, so the little bit of effort is worth it.
Happy Organic Gardening, Healthy Living…
