In addition, when made with leftover food, it helps to reuse those residues that would go to waste and their lost benefits. If you want to know how to make liquid fertilizer, then follow this reading!
You'll need to gather all the peels, fruits, vegetables and eggs that would go in the trash for a week. After that time you will have a good amount of ingredients to make your liquid fertilizer.
Then put it all together in a processor and grind. When it is well processed you will reserve the mixture in a pot or bucket with a lid.
The next step is to add green leaves from different plants to the bowl, then add water – preferably captured from the rain – until the mixture is covered.
After that, close the container and leave it like that for 15 days in an environment protected from the sun and rain. After that time, open the pot and strain the mixture: the liquid removed will be your liquid fertilizer.
It is as simple as its production: dilute the liquid that was sieved in a ratio of 1 to 10, that is, 1 liter of fertilizer to 10 liters of water.
The fertilizer should only be used twice a month, not being advised to use it on small trees, newly planted plants or on soils that already have other fertilizers.
Its application must be done at the time of watering and just spray it on the soil. Also, do not drop it on the leaves and stems of plants because it can cause burns.
It is important to point out that the application must be carried out in the morning or in the afternoon, when the soil will be colder, to avoid any negative impact on the plant.
