Making Liquid Fertilizer


Making Liquid Fertilizer
No matter what it is made from, be it seaweed, vegetable scraps, manure, or just plain weeds, liquid fertiliser plays a major role in the fertility of farm soil.
Liquid fertiliser can be made from many different materials. Its steps are also easy. It involves you mixing something high in nitrogen with other nutrients and water, before allowing the concoction sit for a spell, which could take several weeks.
Although some techniques employ a blender, you can still make liquid fertiliser if you own a kitchen, a pail, and a hose.


The benefits of homemade liquid fertiliser are numerous. Apart from being a huge money-saver, it is environmentally-friendly.
By making your own liquid fertiliser, you’ll be giving new life to waste materials, such as vegetable scraps and weeds, and reducing the amount of trash you generate.
