Natural Homemade Organic Fertilizer Recipes
Using natural organic fertilizer is nothing new. Years ago, people gardened to produce better, cheaper, and healthy veggies than store-bought. A good garden starts with the enrichment of the soil. Adding organic matter, compost, and homemade plant food – natural fertilizer – is the trick.
All of us
have heard of organic gardening. This technique involves producing vegetables
and fruits in an all-natural way.
All the
nutrients and fertilizers used are natural, organic materials. They involve no
commercial chemical fertilizer or synthetic fertilizer loaded with harmful
chemicals.
How to Make Organic Fertilizer – All Natural
Making
your own natural organic homemade fertilizer is both easy & cheap. It often
uses components you already have around the farm. Organic material from
leftover food and grass clippings to organic DIY fertilizers made from plant or
animal remains.
Plant-based fertilizers include:
Compost, Cottonseed meal, Soybean, Kelp, Seaweed
Wood ash uses like these, Alfalfa meal fertilizer
Animal-based fertilizers contain:
Fish
emulsion from fish parts, Fish meal, Blood meal
Animal
Cow manure and Steer Manure, Bat guano
Worm
castings, Bone meal fertilizer

NOTE: Always get a soil test to make sure you add the organic soil amendments the soil needs for the plants you grow. Fertilizer ratios are expressed in numbers of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium. These are vital nutrients for strength, aerial storage, root development, and plant health. As humans need carbohydrates and proteins. Plants need and love “organic NPK fertilizer” for survival.
Additionally, plants use calcium, magnesium,
sulphur for photosynthesis. Plants break down water and CO2 with the help of
the sun into hydrogen, oxygen, carbon which they turn into food.
Other micronutrients required for plant growth are:
Boron, Iron – Details on iron chelate
fertilizer for plants
Copper, Manganese, Molybdenum, Zinc

Lawn Fertilizer and Weed Fertilizer Recipe
Fill 5-gallon bucket with 2/3 parts of fresh grass clippings. Top off with
a few inches of water. Allow mixture to sit for 3 days at room temperature and
stir the mixture at least once a day. Strain the liquid and dilute this liquid
fertilizer with equal parts of water.
Spray this rich nutrient content mixture over leaves for rapid growth.
Similar to grass fertilizers, weeds are
also high in nitrogen. They easily grow below your feet and hence you need not
grow them specially.
Weeds to compost that form excellent homemade organic material include:
Horsetail, Chickweed, Nettles, Burdock, Comfrey.
The steps of making an organic homemade plant fertilizer using weeds is exactly the same as grass fertilizer.
Natural Plant Fertilizer: Fish Tank Water Recipe
Used fish tank water contains excessive nitrogen which is favourable for
plants. But, be careful to remove all new-born fish from the water. Also, the
contents should not come from a saltwater tank. Apply dirty and untreated water
from the fish tank on plants.
Make Your Own Fertilizer: Vinegar Recipe
Vinegar and acetic acid work very well for plants which love acid. Use as a
replacement for rose plant food or houseplant fertilizers. (Always test first)
Mix 1-gallon water and 1 tablespoon white vinegar.
Apply this mixture to your plants and repeat after every 3 months.
DIY Plant Fertilizer: Fireplace Ash Recipe
Fireplace ash fertilizer is an excellent source of potassium and calcium
carbonate. Use it as a replacement for lime.
Massage or work in the fireplace ash as a soil amendment. This fertilizer
should not be use on acid loving plants when the soil is alkaline in nature.

ILIYOTENGENEZWA KWA MIKONO
Mapishi ya Mbolea Asilia Yanayotengenezwa Nyumbani
Kutumia mbolea za asili sio jambo jipya. Miaka mingi iliyopita, watu walilima bustani ili kuzalisha mboga bora, za bei nafuu na zenye afya kuliko za dukani. Bustani nzuri huanza na kurutubisha udongo. Kuongeza vitu vya kikaboni, mboji, na chakula cha mimea cha kujitengenezea nyumbani - mbolea asilia - ndio ujanja.
Sisi sote tumesikia
juu ya kilimo hai. Mbinu hii inahusisha kuzalisha mboga na matunda kwa njia ya
asili.
Virutubisho vyote na
mbolea zinazotumiwa ni za asili, za kikaboni. Hazihusishi mbolea ya kemikali ya
kibiashara au mbolea ya syntetisk iliyopakiwa na kemikali hatari.
Jinsi ya kutengeneza Mbolea ya Kikaboni - Yote ya Asili
Kutengeneza mbolea ya
asili ya kikaboni iliyotengenezwa nyumbani ni rahisi na kwa bei nafuu. Mara nyingi hutumia vifaa ambavyo tayari unavyo
karibu na shamba. Nyenzo-hai kutoka kwa mabaki ya vyakula na vipande vya nyasi
hadi mbolea ya kikaboni ya DIY iliyotengenezwa kwa mabaki ya mimea au wanyama.
Mbolea zinazotokana na mimea ni pamoja na:
Mboji, Unga
wa Pamba, Soya, Kelp, Mwani
Majivu ya
kuni hutumia kama hizi, mbolea ya unga wa Alfalfa
Mbolea za wanyama zina:
Emulsion ya
samaki kutoka kwa sehemu za samaki, Chakula cha samaki, Chakula cha damu
Mbolea ya
Ng'ombe wa Wanyama na Samadi ya Bad, guano ya Popo
Minyoo,
mbolea ya unga wa mifupa

KUMBUKA: Kila mara pata kipimo cha udongo ili kuhakikisha unaongeza marekebisho ya udongo wa kikaboni mahitaji ya udongo kwa mimea unayokuza. Uwiano wa mbolea huonyeshwa kwa idadi ya Nitrojeni, Fosforasi na Potasiamu. Hizi ni virutubisho muhimu kwa nguvu, uhifadhi wa anga, ukuzaji wa mizizi, na afya ya mmea. Kama binadamu anahitaji wanga na protini. Mimea inahitaji na kupenda "mbolea hai ya NPK" kwa ajili ya kuishi.
Zaidi ya
hayo, mimea hutumia kalsiamu, magnesiamu, sulfuri kwa photosynthesis. Mimea
huvunja maji na CO2 kwa msaada wa jua ndani ya hidrojeni, oksijeni, kaboni
ambayo hugeuka kuwa chakula.
Virutubisho
vingine vidogo vinavyohitajika kwa ukuaji wa mmea ni:
Boroni, Iron
- Maelezo juu ya mbolea ya chelate ya chuma kwa mimea
Shaba,
Manganese, Molybdenum, Zinki
Kulingana na mahitaji haya, tutaangalia baadhi ya chaguzi za mbolea za kikaboni za nyumbani na njia za kuzizalisha.
Mbolea ya nyanya ya DIY
Nyanya ni
vyakula vizito vinavyohitaji virutubisho vingi. Pata maelezo zaidi kuhusu
Mbolea ya Nyanya Asilia Iliyotengenezwa Nyumbani
Jinsi ya
Kutengeneza Mbolea Asilia: Mapishi ya Chai ya Mbolea ya Kikaboni?
Jaza ndoo ya
galoni 5 1/3 ya njia na mboji bora iliyokamilishwa kutoka kwenye rundo la
mboji. Jaza ndoo na maji kwa inchi chache kutoka juu. Ruhusu mchanganyiko
kusimama kwa siku 3 au 4. Koroga mchanganyiko mara kwa mara. Chuja mchanganyiko
na kitambaa cha porous.
Mimina mbolea
iliyobaki kwenye bustani au urejeshe kwenye rundo la mbolea.
Punguza
mbolea ya kioevu iliyobaki kwa uwiano wa 10: 1 ya maji kwa chai.
Nyunyiza
mchanganyiko juu ya majani na dawa.

Mapishi ya Mbolea ya Nyasi na Mbolea ya Magugu
Jaza ndoo ya
galoni 5 na sehemu 2/3 za vipande vya nyasi safi. Juu juu na inchi chache za maji. Ruhusu mchanganyiko
kukaa kwa siku 3 kwenye joto la kawaida na kuchochea mchanganyiko angalau mara
moja kwa siku. Chuja kioevu na punguza mbolea hii ya kioevu na sehemu sawa za
maji.
Nyunyiza mchanganyiko
huu wa virutubisho kwenye majani kwa ukuaji wa haraka.
Sawa na mbolea za nyasi,
magugu pia yana nitrojeni nyingi. Zinakua kwa urahisi chini ya miguu yako na
kwa hivyo hauitaji kuzikuza haswa.
Magugu kwa mboji ambayo huunda nyenzo bora za kikaboni zilizotengenezwa nyumbani ni pamoja na:
Mkia wa farasi,
Chickweed, Nettles, Burdock, Comfrey.
Hatua za kutengeneza mbolea ya kikaboni iliyotengenezwa nyumbani kwa kutumia magugu ni sawa kabisa na mbolea ya nyasi.
Mbolea ya Asili ya Mimea: Mapishi ya Maji ya Tangi la Samaki
Maji ya
tanki ya samaki yaliyotumika yana nitrojeni nyingi ambayo ni nzuri kwa mimea.
Lakini, kuwa mwangalifu kuondoa samaki wote waliozaliwa hivi karibuni kutoka
kwa maji. Pia, yaliyomo haipaswi kutoka kwenye tank ya maji ya chumvi. Omba
maji machafu na yasiyotibiwa kutoka kwenye tanki la samaki kwenye mimea.
Tengeneza Mbolea Yako Mwenyewe: Kichocheo cha Siki
Siki na
asidi asetiki hufanya kazi vizuri sana kwa mimea inayopenda asidi. Tumia kama mbadala
wa chakula cha mmea wa waridi au mbolea ya mimea ya nyumbani. (Daima jaribu
kwanza)
Changanya
lita 1 ya maji na kijiko 1 cha siki nyeupe.
Weka
mchanganyiko huu kwenye mimea yako na urudie kila baada ya miezi 3.
Mbolea ya Kupanda ya DIY: Kichocheo cha Majivu ya Mekoni
Mbolea ya
majivu ya mahali pa moto ni chanzo bora cha potasiamu na kalsiamu carbonate.
Tumia kama badala ya chokaa.
Massage au
fanya kazi kwenye majivu ya mahali pa moto kama marekebisho ya udongo. Mbolea
hii haipaswi kutumiwa kwenye mimea inayopenda asidi wakati udongo una asili ya
alkali.
Kutengeneza Chakula Chako Mwenyewe cha Mimea: Maganda ya Ndizi & Viwanja vya Kahawa
Hizi ni
mbolea mbili tofauti ambazo ni rahisi sana kuandaa.
Kichocheo 1 Maganda ya Ndizi
Ganda la
ndizi lina potasiamu ambayo ni muhimu kwa ukuaji wa mmea. Roses hupenda
potasiamu.
Tupa ngozi
za ndizi au maganda kwenye shimo kabla ya kupanda. Au zika maganda chini ya
matandazo ili kuruhusu mboji. Hii husaidia kuboresha rutuba ya udongo na
kusababisha maua makubwa ya waridi. Pamoja na maganda ya ndizi tumia chumvi ya
Epsom kutoa maua ya waridi yenye rangi nyororo zaidi.
Kichocheo 2 Viwanja vya Kahawa
Nyanya,
blueberries na roses hufaidika na nitrojeni katika misingi ya kahawa.
Toleo la
kioevu la misingi ya kahawa au poda iliyonyunyizwa juu ya udongo karibu na
sahani zako husaidia mimea kukua vizuri. Changanya vikombe 6 vya kusaga kahawa
katika lita 5 za maji.
Mchanganyiko
unapaswa kukaa chini kwa siku 3-4 kabla ya kutumia kwenye udongo.
