My grandma used to make black water she called it and would put dead chickens in it, roadkill meat scraps any thing and everything . But you HAD to keep it covered because the smell when you open it will knock you down. She’d let it sit for months .But her garden was something to behold I’ll tell you. Biggest sunflowers,watermelons and pumpkins

[@wellnessandcountrylife]

Woah I can only imagine the smell! Thanks for sharing your grandma's gardening story

That is an excellent and fast use of kitchen waste 🗑! Thanks for the 💡 idea.

[@wellnessandcountrylife]

I'm glad this idea has been useful to you. Happy gardening 🙂

[@BrixThePlanter]

If you take out the plastic container and add a handful of leaf mold which is go to the biggest oldest tree in the local forest remove the top layer of leaves in the dark humic rich looking soil is not actually soil it’s leaf mold grab a handful of that throw that in the bucket add any plant material whatsoever different plant material us are going to have different nutrient capabilities and in 12 days you’ll have plant available of nutrients rather than water soluble nutrients which is what you have here on top of that you’ll be incorporating micro organisms from your local indigenous forest that are profound and extremely capable to fight off any and all disease and pest. Overtime this fertilizer will begin to increase and strength I always do a lesismore approach as long as you keep it less than 1 L per 5 gallons add more leaf mold if the smell becomes putrid and add more plant material and rainwater as needed and then you have a continuous fertilizer I currently have 16 different ones this method is called JADAM liquid fertilizer

I blend all veggie and fruit scraps with water in a blender and pour in to a 5 gallon bucket and keep it covered and use the solution in plants without straining.

[@wellnessandcountrylife]

That will work too. As long as it's fermented some

I have been using this method for years, I also put small about sea salt in it too for minerals. Excellent fertilizer.

[@wellnessandcountrylife]

Great tip!

[@spider.monkey.ninja.assassin]

Sea salt? 🤔 I thought salt kills plants - thus is not good to use on ice in the winter because it runs off and kills lawn grass and such

[@miztri]

I add coffee grounds and grounded eggshells for that NPK effect

[@sammysbodyart]

You can take that to the next level : add molasses ! That will make even better. Quality ! For indoor plant you may need a mixture of water mix with hydrogen peroxide and spray bottle to spray on top of your pot surface to eliminate fruit flies or else that will be a festival for flies in door 😂❤🎉🎉🎉😂

Thanks! I want to try but not sure what you mean by strong, unpleasant smell. Isnt it going to stink?

It can have bad smell, better do it outside. The longer it sits in the water, the stinkier it gets, but it's okay for the plants.

[@morenteria2988]

Can you use grass clippings and pulled weeds and leaves?

Thank you for your content. What happens if there are maggots? Where do you store this liquid inside or outside in the sun or the shed?

[@wellnessandcountrylife]

Hi you can toss the maggots. If possible don't let the maggots breed inside. In the shade or in the sun doesn't matter. Just keep the bucket covered so bugs won't get in

Can you use this for vegetable garden?

[@wellnessandcountrylife]

Hi, yes definitely 🙂

[@JoyDiscovery]

how often this water can be used for plants ?

[@joshuagary2745]

I'd say once every few weeks. Figure out the stages of what you're growing and feed them accordingly.

[@samsam-oh5py]

is garlic kitchen scraps ok to add? also can we add neem turmeric powder in it as they are good to repel pests?

[@wellnessandcountrylife]

Yes, you can add garlic and any veggie scraps and herbs

[@nauticalnovice9244]

I only use one bucket and I leave it for at least 3 weeks. It works better compared to this method because it has more time to ferment.

[@wellnessandcountrylife]

I don't wait for too long 1 week is fine with me. But yeah you can soak longer if you want 🙂

[@misessahjahan6539]

How many times in month we used this fertilizer in plants

[@wellnessandcountrylife]

Every other week. If you want to use ifor indoor plants, make sure it's not the potent liquid, dilute it and don't do often as it can attract insects/bugs into the house.

[@jorgejustice]

I was looking for an alternative to chemical fertilizers. How do you know if you are getting all the right stuff in these natural fertilizers that the plants need? Phosphorus, nitrogen etc. Etc and how do natural manure tea fertilizers like this compared to chemical fertilizers?

[@wellnessandcountrylife]

The compost tea is just supplement. You can add more organic compost into your soil mixture, it will have the basic NPK in it. Soft rock phospate is another naturak amendment that has a lot of soil nutrients.

[@pranishkhadgi]

Can i use this fertilizer as hydroponics nutrients??

[@wellnessandcountrylife]

I haven't try it, but you can try. The hydroponics solution is bioavailable and easy to absorb than homemade compost tea. If you use compost tea, it can harbor pathogens and will have odor unless they are mixed in soil

[@stav1131]

These will provide some essential nutrients like Potassium,Manganese etc…- Some small amounts of trace nutrients like Iron,Zinc etc… Definitely Better then just water but it won’t be sufficient for finicky plants… I have big garden in my yard, I’m using “Dry fertilizers” in the form of powders to feed my plants&trees… “NO3” for the nitrogen/nitrates “KCI” for the potassium “KH2PO4” for the phosphates And whole trace powder mix from NilocG contains all the essential trace elements… That way I’m able to grow some tasty seasonal fruits 😎

[@wellnessandcountrylife]

Thank you for your comment 🙂

[@gnuttz5022]

If u let it sit longer it will more potent and have a higher nutritional valve

[@brunobassi2440]

For the most demanding plants? Add human urine diluted with water (10%)

[@courtneysaunders2154]

Once the scraps have soaked do you just throw it away or can you put it in compost bin after ??

[@wellnessandcountrylife]

You can put the scraps in the compost. Please dilite the compost tea before watering your plants as it might kill it if it's too strong.

[@sreekanthbabu4622]

How much time after we have to filter ?

[@wellnessandcountrylife]

You can use it right away.

[@zolieguibao2796]

Is it okay if it was place in a small bucket

[@wellnessandcountrylife]

Yes, any container would do as long as it holds enough scraps and water

[@Sourman5000]

Remember it’s only organic if the foods that you originally purchased were also organic. Some may have some gnarly pesticides fungicides and preservatives if not.

[@wellnessandcountrylife]

True, and if we go by what the label says.. but unfortunately, it's not always the case.

[@petraschultz7292]

That is going to stiiiiink!!!

[@wellnessandcountrylife]

Yes, better do it outdoor. And dilute the liquid

[@aizensosuke4430]

[@pattis8945]

Can I put the scraps into the compost after making the 'tea?'

[@WhatAudryEats]

I’m sure you can because you normally have to water your compost as well

[@wellnessandcountrylife]

Yes you definitely can

[@sadonnacollins5593]

Should I use the liquid everytime I water my plants?

[@wellnessandcountrylife]

If it's not a potent solution you can water every time you water the plants. If you are watering outdoor plants, it should be okay if you water with this water everyday.

[@richardhausa]

Can you use this on tomato plants?

Can Bell peppers be used too..? Thx.!

[@wellnessandcountrylife]

Hi I think so! Any veggie scraps I use. They are not in big amount anyway, usuallly after you slice off what you need on the pepper only the core and seeds remains that goes into the scraps, unless you have a whole piece rotting

[@unknown5077]

Can I use egg shells too?

[@wellnessandcountrylife]

You can pulverized eggshells and sprinkle on soil directly. It's better that way than soaking it with other scraps.

It has to be aerated

👍

[@megancorkern1952]

It doesn’t have to be, if aerated it needs to be used immediately. Extra oxygen= extra microbes and micro organisms. They’ll quickly use up the available oxygen in the bucket and then die quickly. You have to let it sit a little longer.

[@lifehackingdiy5929]

[@tainaayiti]

@@nauticalnovice9244 actually makes sense because of her timing. Now if the waste stayed for more days or near a month, that would be a problem. More time to ferment=higher nutrients which the plants would find overwhelming.

I don't soak the scraps for too long. If I do then I will dilute half and half. If you don''t dilute when you soak it for too long, the brine will be concentrated and smelly. It will draw bugs to your plants
