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
Woah I can only imagine the smell! Thanks for sharing your grandma's gardening story
Please does she remove the Chicken feathers before putting it there?
@@ucheanagor5720for sure she remove nothing
Your Grandmother was a Witch
🤣
That is an excellent and fast use of kitchen waste 🗑! Thanks for the 💡 idea.
I'm glad this idea has been useful to you. Happy gardening 🙂
Nice information🎉
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
Yes, thank you for sharing your valuable idea. 🙂 whatever works, and it's organic!
A fan of the Viking gardener?
Tooooo many rats 🐀 🐀 🐁 around to go digging in the woods 😱
Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!!
Glad I could help!
Never thought to put a pot in there to strain it. Great idea! I've been using the dollar store colander I got for dirt sifting and pushing it down into the murk, then filling any containers with the liquid that filtered through it.
Please dilute it first before watering your plants. It's a strong liquid
😱😱😱😱😎 AMAZING IDEA 💡
Glad iyou find it useful. 😃
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.
That will work too. As long as it's fermented some
Do you use it everyday for watering plants?
This is so cool!!
Wow Thank you
Good idea👍

Thanks I m warry happy new
Thanks ❤
Most welcome. I'm glad you appreciate this video
Very nice ❤❤❤
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice
I have been using this method for years, I also put small about sea salt in it too for minerals. Excellent fertilizer.
Great tip!
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
I add coffee grounds and grounded eggshells for that NPK effect
Yea, i thought so to. Add seaweed instead?@spider.monkey.ninja.assassin
Excellent sharing dear friends thanks very healthy home Made Organic Fertilizer thanks stay connected New subscriber friends thanks good evening 🌆
Thank you! See you around
Citrus fruit makes soil to acidic?
ABSOLUTELY GENIUS!!
THANK-YOU 🕯️
I hope it works for you. 🙏
Its good idea. But if you blend all scrap with stick, it will be great!!. I used to do it.
Whatever works, you can do that 🙂
👍👍👍👍
🙂
Fantastic! Thank you
Just what i was looking for thank you.
Please dilute it first before watering your plants. It's a strong liquid
Blessed Love ❤️🔥
Nice dear 💓
Thank you! Cheers!
Just what I was looking for 👍. Gracias
I hope it works for you
👍😊 but i have a question please
How often does one apply the it on the farm?
❤❤❤❤❤
Omg!!! Thank you so much
I love this! I use banana peels in empty jugs and water for my roses and hydrangeas! I need to do this method thank you!
You are so welcome! Keep us posted 🙂
Great 👍 your information ℹ️ please 🙂🙂🙂🙂
Please dilute it first before watering your plants. It's a strong liquid
Thank you from Malawi
I
Grind/blend everything first with a hand held blender works even better
It can be done that way, too. 🙂
Are you saying blend all the scraps and then ad more water?
@@tonicahenry5859 yes
I blend scraps with a little water ta make smoothie then them trow it in container with more water
That’s what I was thinking also, because you are creating more available space from the fruits and vegetables scraps!!
Im going to do this for my garden.
👍
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 😂❤🎉🎉🎉😂
How much peroxide per gallon?? Thanx in advance...😊
@@leoking5152 1:3 ratio
Will have to try this out! We do this w weeds and it does great. Thanks so much for the idea. :)
That's great! Yeah anything we can use for composting and repurposing to benefit our garden veggies 🙂
THANK YOU!!!!! 💖🌱🌿🪴🌺🌼🌸😊
No problem🙂
How often do you put this fertilizer on your plants? Great video thanks for sharing:)
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.
1. What would happen if blend my own liquid from kitchen scraps and pour into my pots the same day? Will it be a waste or will they get the nutrients about 5 days later..
2. What are the chances of maggots creating in the bucket if I wait for it to ferment?
Thanks!
Can we store this for more time
How often would you use this liquid to water your plants
Thanks for sharing! Can you use liquid fertiliser twice a day daily?
Can you still compost these same scraps you abstracted the fertilizer from???
Yes you're able to. Will break down in no time
How long can I store the fertilizer after straining it?
I use it immediately. 🙂 you can store it longer but the chance of stronger fermentation and smell.
@@wellnessandcountrylife thank you 🙏
Nics idea you are spartan
🤣
csn i use grass clipings and weed clippings for this?
Can you use this on flower trees like hibiscus and bougainvillea? Can you use on palm tree? And all plants? Thanks so much
Yes you can use this to any plants👍
Can you use grass clippings and pulled weeds and leaves?
Yes you can use grass clippings ang weeds. That's what people mix in making compost tea
How often should I water with this like once a week?
Once a week is fine 🙂
Do you use all the water? And can you put the rest of the water in storage
How long you keep compost in the water ?
I soak it at least 3 days. You have to check it everyday and stir once in a while
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.
I don't wait for too long 1 week is fine with me. But yeah you can soak longer if you want 🙂
Can you use this for vegetable garden?
Hi, yes definitely 🙂
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?
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.
Can I put the scraps into the compost after making the 'tea?'
I’m sure you can because you normally have to water your compost as well
Yes you definitely can
Even better if you collect rain water for it
How many times in month we used this fertilizer in plants
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.
is garlic kitchen scraps ok to add? also can we add neem turmeric powder in it as they are good to repel pests?
Yes, you can add garlic and any veggie scraps and herbs
Can i use this fertilizer as hydroponics nutrients??
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
Once the scraps have soaked do you just throw it away or can you put it in compost bin after ??
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.
How much time after we have to filter ?
You can use it right away.
Is it okay if it was place in a small bucket
Yes, any container would do as long as it holds enough scraps and water
Should I use the liquid everytime I water my plants?
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.
Can you use this on tomato plants?
Yes of course 👍
@@wellnessandcountrylifethank you
How many times do you fertilize per week?
Just once a week with the conpost tea is fine
how often this water can be used for plants ?
I'd say once every few weeks. Figure out the stages of what you're growing and feed them accordingly.
I did soil smell bad 😢
Why is it important to cover the pail? Suppose you can't, does it lose anything or is it just for convenience?
To prevent mosquitos and other breeding bugs ... and to keep the smell in
@@wellnessandcountrylife thanks, it's what I suspected. I have mine near the cattle pen so I don't notice the stink
Can Bell peppers be used too..? Thx.!
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
If I make a big batch, how long is it good for?
It depends on how frequent you water and how many plants you have
Can I use egg shells too?
You can pulverized eggshells and sprinkle on soil directly. It's better that way than soaking it with other scraps.
ZPKB:
I agree with Amna. Everything we can’t put it on allah. God has given us human Brian to understand that less children in a family then better resources all can get. More quality food and education.
Years ago “Hum do Humare do” campaign was widespread in India to bring awareness to common people so as to reduce pressures having less resources.
This drama is very good effort to educate public through tv
That is going to stiiiiink!!!
Yes, better do it outdoor. And dilute the liquid
a worthy sacrifice for my beetroot
What do you do with the scraps once you have the liquid fertilizer?
Hi! I put them in compost pile. 🙂
They water the compost pile🎉❤
Shouldn’t you have a bubbler going for oxygen ?
You can use one, but I haven't used one.
If there is white substance and it has a slight acidic smell, is that OK?
yes
I thought it had to sit for at least a week?
Yes, you can do that. It will be strong..make sure you dilute it before watering it to plants
Sister besr stor 1 week..?
I soak it for 5 days or so 🙂, 1 week max. It will get smelly if you soak too long, and you need to dilute the water because it'll be stronger.
@@wellnessandcountrylife thanks sister
It has to be aerated
👍
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.
Can we add egg shells?
Eghs shells won't decompose easily in water..it's best to grind them and mix in the soil
So..there is no need to dilute it with water?
No need to dilute with water
@@wellnessandcountrylife Nonsense, there's a ton of cases of people not diluting it and killing their plants.
@@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
I've never diluted, and never killed my plants. Even after weeks and weeks of 'brewing.'
But mera jo fertilizer rkha h chipchipa sa liquid ready horha h aisa q?
Please dilute it first before watering your plants. It's a strong liquid
why my liquid fertilizer have smell? is it normal?
Make sure it's well covered
Hi, does it work with hydroponic plants?
Hi I haven't tried with hydrophonic plants, but I don't see why it doesn't work.. it should work 🙂
@@wellnessandcountrylife I think so. Thank you for your reply!
@@livingvibes8897 you would have to change out the reservoir like once a week or else it will get moldy and rotton water
@@Miley_00 I found out that organic fertilizer won’t get absorbed directly by the hydroponic plants.
I think u should not use it in hydroponic cultivation bcz :
-No clearity about nutrient proportions
-It will biodegrade with time and we have to reuse nutrient water many times in hydroponic
-Its more prone to insect, pest attack, fungus and bacterial diseases, algae formation bcz this is organic and it will rot with time
My teacher made me watch this when I saw it already 😑
🙂👍
Doesn't it produce fungus ??
It can, but if it's in the soil. It'll deconpose
Legend 👍 thank you
Just an idea 🙂
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 😎
Thank you for your comment 🙂
If u let it sit longer it will more potent and have a higher nutritional valve
For the most demanding plants? Add human urine diluted with water (10%)
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.
True, and if we go by what the label says.. but unfortunately, it's not always the case.
If it does have “unpleasant smell,”,then what?
It will dissipate eventually. It's better for outdoor plants when it gets bad smelling.
I guess it’s best to leave outside? I have cats around and don’t want any animals to get into it
You can put weight on it so animals don't take the lid off.
Guess what I came up with… I have a gallon jug with a spout. I put my scraps in it tonight with water and I’m going to keep it in my kitchen and hope it doesn’t smell. I grow my food in containers. I’ve started planting some vegis last week and will take outside in my patio soon. However, I’m tryna figure out a inexpensive way to build a enclosure for my entire patio. Any suggestions?
I keep mine till the scraps are broken down!
You gotta add some brown paper too it too.
Mam plz dilute it 😢😢
Is it too strong by itself?
How bad does it smell?
It doeasn't smell bad. It has some smell but not gagging smell. 😃 I soak only a few days to 5 days max. No more than 1 week. Make sure no animal meat in the scraps.
@@wellnessandcountrylifewhat of fish head or fish scrab can we include it
I haven't tried soaking scraps with fish parts. I think should be okay.
Thank you very much!
Doesn't it bring maggots
It can if the scraps stay too long in the water
Not going to be sufficient for plants.
Yes it is better than using plain water but thats it. Nothing better.
Yes, something other than plain water
There is strawberry
How to control or minimise the unpleasant smell while making this liquid fertiliser?
Do it outside. The longer it sits, the stronger the smell. If you don't want insects in the house, just water outdoor plants
What do you do with the scraps later?
Hi just add the scraps in the compost
Plz don't use garbage for fertilizer.its dirty plz use proper fertilizer U get in market pure
Actually, it's okay to use organic garbage, than synthetic fertilizer.
