Turn your kitchen waste into a nutrient-rich fertilizer for your garden.
sharing my secret recipe for making organic fertilizer at home using a water method. I'll break it down into a step-by-step process for others to follow: Materials Needed 1. Plantain peel 2. Eggshell 3. Onion peel 4. Cabbage 5. Lettuce 6. Carrots 7. Cucumber peel 8. Pineapple peel 9. Orange peel 10. Water Step-by-Step Process 1. *Collect and chop*: Gather all the ingredients and chop them into small pieces to increase their surface area. 2. *Mix and soak*: Combine all the chopped ingredients in a large container and add water. The ratio of ingredients to water can be around 1:10 (1 part ingredients to 10 parts water). 3. *Steep and ferment*: Let the mixture steep and ferment for several days (typically 3-7 days). This will allow the nutrients to break down and release into the water. 4. *Strain and use*: After the fermentation process, strain the liquid fertilizer from the solids. Discard the solids or add them to your compost pile. 5. *Dilute and apply*: Dilute the liquid fertilizer with water (typically 1:10) and apply it to your plants as a foliar spray or add it to the soil. Benefits This organic fertilizer is rich in nutrients, including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and other micronutrients. It can help promote healthy plant growth, improve soil structure, and increase crop yields. Tips and Precautions Use a clean container and utensils to avoid contamination. Keep the mixture away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Monitor the fermentation process and adjust the duration as needed. Always dilute the liquid fertilizer before applying it to your plants to avoid burning their roots. Make sure you cover the container tightly, to avoid the gas from getting out. By following these steps, you can create a nutrient-rich organic fertilizer at home using kitchen scraps.
