Where is the DIY liquid fertilizer


Making your own organic liquid fertilizer can be a fun and rewarding project, and it's also a great way to reduce your environmental impact by avoiding synthetic fertilizers. Here is a simple recipe for making your own organic liquid fertilizer:

Ingredients:

1 part compost or worm castings
1 part seaweed extract or fish emulsion
10 parts water
Instructions:

Combine the compost or worm castings and seaweed extract or fish emulsion in a large container or bucket.

Add water to the container or bucket, using a ratio of 1 part compost/ castings and 1 part seaweed/fish emulsion to 10 parts water. For example, if you are using 1 cup of compost and 1 cup of seaweed extract, add 10 cups of water.

Stir the mixture well to combine all the ingredients.

Cover the container or bucket with a lid or plastic wrap to prevent evaporation.
Allow the mixture to sit for 2-3 weeks, stirring occasionally.

After 2-3 weeks, the liquid fertilizer should be ready to use. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any solids.

Dilute the liquid fertilizer with water before using it on your plants. The amount of dilution needed will depend on the specific plants you are fertilizing and their individual needs. Start with a 1:10 dilution (1 part fertilizer to 10 parts water) and adjust as needed.

Your organic liquid fertilizer is now ready to use! You can use it to fertilize your plants every 2-4 weeks during the growing season. Store any unused fertilizer in a sealed container in a cool, dark place, and use within a few months.

4L water
Instructions:

Add the powder to a large container or bucket.

Pour in the water and stir well to combine.
Cover the container or bucket with a lid or plastic wrap to prevent evaporation.
Allow the mixture to sit for 24-48 hours, stirring occasionally.

After 24-48 hours, the liquid fertilizer should be ready to use. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any solids.

Dilute the liquid fertilizer with water before using it on your plants. The amount of dilution needed will depend on the specific plants you are fertilizing and their individual needs. Start with a 1:10 dilution (1 part fertilizer to 10 parts water) and adjust as needed.

Iron oxide, commonly known as rust, can actually be used as a source of iron in fertilizer. Here is a simple recipe for making a DIY fertilizer from rusted iron:

Ingredients:

Rusty iron nails, screws, or other iron objects
Water.

Instructions:

Gather rusty iron nails, screws, or other iron objects. The more rusted they are, the better.
Fill a container or bucket with water. The amount of water you need will depend on how much iron you have.

Add the rusty iron objects to the water and stir well.

Allow the mixture to sit for several days, stirring occasionally. As the iron objects rust, they will release iron into the water.
After several days, remove the iron objects from the water and discard them.

Dilute the liquid fertilizer with water before using it on your plants. The amount of dilution needed will depend on the specific plants you are fertilizing and their individual needs. Start with a 1:10 dilution (1 part fertilizer to 10 parts water) and adjust as needed.

Your rusted iron fertilizer is now ready to use! This fertilizer is high in iron, which is an essential nutrient for plants. Use it to fertilize plants that need extra iron, such as leafy greens like spinach and kale.

Be careful not to use too much, as too much iron can be harmful to some plants. Store any unused fertilizer in a sealed container in a cool, dark place, and use within a few months.

Nigeria has a diverse climate and a wide range of plants that can thrive in its different regions. Here are some examples of iron-loving plants that can grow well in Nigeria:

Cocoa (Theobroma cacao): Cocoa is a tropical plant that is native to South America, but is now widely cultivated in West Africa, including Nigeria.

Cocoa trees prefer acidic soil that is high in organic matter and iron.

Hibiscus (Hibiscus sabdariffa): Hibiscus, also known as Roselle, is a plant that produces edible fruits used to make tea and juice. It thrives in well-drained soil that is rich in iron and other nutrients.

Plantain (Musa paradisiaca): Plantain is a staple crop in many parts of Nigeria. It grows well in soil that is rich in organic matter, iron, and other nutrients.

Kola nut (Cola acuminata): Kola nut is a tropical tree that is native to West Africa. It prefers well-drained, acidic soil that is high in iron and other nutrients.

Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus): Okra is a vegetable that is popular in Nigeria and other parts of West Africa. It grows well in well-drained soil that is high in organic matter and iron.

When growing these iron-loving plants, it's important to ensure that the soil is acidic and has adequate iron content. You can use fertilizers like the DIY iron-loving fertilizer recipe provided earlier, or other commercial fertilizers designed for acid-loving plants.

Additionally, be sure to provide the appropriate growing conditions for each plant, such as sunlight, moisture, and nutrients.

Here is a recipe for a rich liquid calcium fertilizer for tomatoes:

Ingredients:

10 eggshells, cleaned and crushed
4L of water
1 tablespoon of Epsom salt
1 tablespoon of blackstrap molasses

Instructions:

Start by blending the eggshells into small pieces, and then put them in a large container.

Add the water to the container and stir well. Let the mixture sit for a few days until the eggshells have completely dissolved.

Strain the liquid through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove any remaining shell fragments.

Add the Epsom salt and blackstrap molasses to the liquid and stir well.

Transfer the liquid to a spray bottle or watering can and apply it to the soil around the base of your tomato plants.

Apply the liquid once a week during the growing season.

This liquid fertilizer provides calcium from the eggshells, which is essential for tomato growth, and magnesium from the Epsom salt, which is also important for plant health.

The blackstrap molasses provides additional nutrients and helps to stimulate beneficial microbial activity in the soil. Be sure to apply the fertilizer consistently throughout the growing season for best results.
