These are two different fertilizers very easy to prepare.

Recipe 1 Banana Peels

A Banana peel contains potassium which is essential for plant growth. Roses love potassium.

Throw the banana skins or peels in a hole before planting. Or bury the peels under mulch to allow them to compost. This helps improve soil fertility resulting in bigger rose blooms. Along with the banana peels use Epsom salt to give roses blooms with more vibrant colour.

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.

7 1 FERTILIZER – 7.11 – COFFEE GROUND  

Making Your Own Plant Food: Banana Peels & Coffee Grounds

These are two different fertilizers very easy to prepare.

Recipe for Coffee Grounds

Tomatoes, blueberries and roses benefit from the nitrogen in coffee grounds.

Liquid version of the coffee grounds or powder sprinkled on top of the soil around your plats helps the plants to grow well.  Mix 6 cups of coffee grinds in 5 gallons of water.

The mixture should settle down for 3 -4 days before applying to the soil.

Combining two loves - coffee and gardening - can be a match made in heaven. Here we go through everything you need to know about using coffee grounds as fertilizer.

You can use coffee grounds as fertilizer

When you're making your morning cup of coffee, it can feel wasteful to toss the used coffee grounds in the trash. They smell amazing and must be good for something, right?

Adding coffee grounds to your composting routine or using them as fertilizer for your acid loving plants is the perfect way to put used soil to good use.

Using coffee grounds as fertilizer for your acid-loving plants is quick, easy, and can help reduce waste from your kitchen.

You don't have to do anything special to prepare your used coffee grounds for use as fertilizer. Just make sure to apply the soil to acid-loving plants (more on that in a moment).

Allow the coffee grounds to cool, then sprinkle onto soil or mulch. Work the coffee grounds into the top layer of soil.

Why Using Coffee Grounds As Fertilizer Works

There are a few different reasons why adding coffee grounds to the soil around your favorite plants can help them grow strong. Aeration, drainage, and water retention are improved when organic matter—like coffee grounds—is added to the soil.

Worms are attracted to coffee grounds, and their presence can help improve soil quality. Coffee grounds also support the life of microorganisms that keep the soil healthy. Coffee grounds can also act as a mulch for your plants, blocking sunlight from the soil and inhibiting weed growth.

7 1 MBOLEA – 7.11 –KIWANJA CHA KAHAWA -

Kutengeneza Chakula Chako Mwenyewe cha Mimea: Maganda ya Ndizi & Viwanja vya Kahawa

Hizi ni mbolea mbili tofauti ambazo ni rahisi sana kuandaa.

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.

Kuchanganya upendo mbili - kahawa na bustani - inaweza kuwa mechi iliyofanywa mbinguni. Hapa tunapitia kila kitu unachohitaji kujua kuhusu kutumia misingi ya kahawa kama mbolea.

Unaweza kutumia misingi ya kahawa kama mbolea

Unapotengeneza kikombe chako cha asubuhi cha kahawa, inaweza kujisikia kupoteza nguvu kutupa misingi ya kahawa iliyotumika kwenye tupio. Wana harufu ya kushangaza na lazima iwe nzuri kwa kitu, sivyo?

Kuongeza misingi ya kahawa kwa utaratibu wako wa kutengeneza mboji au kuzitumia kama mbolea kwa mimea yako inayopenda asidi ndiyo njia bora ya kutumia udongo uliotumika vizuri.

Kutumia misingi ya kahawa kama mbolea kwa mimea yako inayopenda asidi ni haraka, rahisi, na inaweza kusaidia kupunguza taka kutoka jikoni yako.

Huna haja ya kufanya chochote maalum ili kuandaa misingi yako ya kahawa iliyotumiwa kwa matumizi kama mbolea. Hakikisha tu kuweka udongo kwa mimea inayopenda asidi (zaidi juu ya hilo kwa muda mfupi).

Ruhusu misingi ya kahawa ipoe, kisha nyunyiza kwenye udongo au matandazo. Tengeneza misingi ya kahawa kwenye safu ya juu ya udongo.

Kwa Nini Kutumia Viwanja Vya Kahawa Kama Mbolea Hufanya Kazi

Kuna sababu chache tofauti kwa nini kuongeza misingi ya kahawa kwenye udongo karibu na mimea unayopenda kunaweza kuwasaidia kukua imara. Uingizaji hewa, mifereji ya maji, na uhifadhi wa maji huboreshwa wakati vitu vya kikaboni - kama vile msingi wa kahawa - vinaongezwa kwenye udongo.

Minyoo huvutiwa na misingi ya kahawa, na uwepo wao unaweza kusaidia kuboresha ubora wa udongo. Viwanja vya kahawa pia vinasaidia maisha ya vijidudu ambavyo huweka udongo kuwa na afya. Viwanja vya kahawa vinaweza pia kutumika kama matandazo kwa mimea yako, kuzuia mwanga wa jua kutoka kwenye udongo na kuzuia ukuaji wa magugu.

7 1 FERTILIZER – 7.12 – MANURE RECIPE

How To Make Your Own Fertilizer:

Composted manure of goat, chicken or horse, and cattle is available with people who raise them. Use aged and composted manure for best results. Fill small, recyclable, permeable cloth bags with manure. This COMPOST manure needs too steep for 3-4 days in a shaded area before adding to the soil before planting. The bag can then be discarded or buried.

Making worm castings or worm tea is very easy. The recipe:

Mix a handful of wriggler worms with kitchen scraps or cardboard scraps – aka compost.

This mixture should steep for a week and then applied to your soil.

7 1 MBOLEA – 7.12 - Mapishi ya samadi

Jinsi ya kutengeneza mbolea yako mwenyewe:

Mbolea ya mbuzi, kuku au farasi na ng'ombe inapatikana kwa watu wanaofuga. Tumia samadi iliyozeeka na iliyotundikwa kwa matokeo bora. Jaza mifuko midogo ya nguo, inayoweza kutumika tena, inayopenyeza na samadi. Mbolea hii inahitaji kuzama kwa muda wa siku 3-4 kwenye eneo lenye kivuli kabla ya kuongeza kwenye udongo kabla ya kupanda. Mfuko unaweza kisha kutupwa au kuzikwa.

Kutengeneza dondoo za minyoo au chai ya minyoo ni rahisi sana. Kichocheo:

Changanya wachache wa minyoo ya wriggler na mabaki ya jikoni au mabaki ya kadibodi - aka mboji.

Mchanganyiko huu unapaswa kuinuka kwa wiki na kisha utumike kwenye udongo wako.

Magamba ya Mayai

Osha maganda ya mayai. Waponde na ufanyie kazi vipande vilivyosagwa kwenye udongo hasa karibu na mimea ya nyanya au pilipili. Kalsiamu katika mayai huzuia kuoza kwa mizizi.

Maganda ya mayai yana calcium carbonate (93%).

Tumia maganda ya mayai kama kiyoyozi badala ya chokaa.

7 1 FERTILIZER – 7.14- CAT AND DOG FOOD AS ORGANIC FERTILIZER

 

ORGANIC FARMING COURSE AGRO-ECONOMY

7 1 FERTILIZER – 7.14- CAT AND DOG FOOD AS ORGANIC FERTILIZER

Organic dog food can be recycled and used as a fertilizer. It contains proteins and micronutrients to benefit the soil.

When you prepare the soil for planting, spread this composted pet food into the soil with water. The food decays naturally in a few days.

The food needs to be covered to keep all animals including your pets from eating the food before it decomposes.

For this, the soil needs to be covered with cardboard and then a wet layer of mulch. The wet layer of cardboard and mulch prevents the growth of weeds. The soil should be thoroughly watered for 3 to 4 weeks. The only care needed is to avoid pet food containing chemicals and sodium in high content (more than 3%). The chemicals and sodium are harmful for the plants.

Dog food that has expired or stale can be used to transform the barren soil. It is rich in nutrients known to promote plant growth. To multiply the effect of this dog food fertilizer, you can add clay cat litter and alfalfa pellets.

Dog Food: Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and calcium are released into the soil when dog food breaks down. The breakdown of dog food provides the meal to soil-friendly insects and some other beneficial fungi and bacteria.

Cat Litter: Potassium-rich clay released by cat litter that is efficient for sandy soils that drain very quickly, washing away all the important nutrients. The addition improves the moisture storage capacity of the soil.

7 1 MBOLEA - 7.14- Chakula cha Paka na Mbwa Kama Chakula Kikaboni

 

Chakula cha kikaboni cha mbwa kinaweza kutumika tena na kutumika kama mbolea. Ina protini na virutubisho vidogo ili kufaidi udongo.

Unapotayarisha udongo kwa ajili ya kupanda, sambaza chakula hiki cha kipenzi kilichotundikwa kwenye udongo na maji. Chakula huharibika kwa kawaida katika siku chache.

Chakula kinahitaji kufunikwa ili kuwazuia wanyama wote ikiwa ni pamoja na wanyama wako wa kipenzi kula chakula kabla ya kuharibika.

Kwa hili, udongo unahitaji kufunikwa na kadibodi na kisha safu ya mvua ya mulch. Safu ya mvua ya kadibodi na mulch huzuia ukuaji wa magugu. Udongo unapaswa kumwagilia vizuri kwa wiki 3 hadi 4. Utunzaji pekee unaohitajika ni kuepuka chakula cha pet kilicho na kemikali na sodiamu katika maudhui ya juu (zaidi ya 3%). Kemikali na sodiamu ni hatari kwa mimea.

Chakula cha mbwa ambacho kimeisha muda wake au kimechakaa kinaweza kutumika kubadilisha udongo usio na kitu. Ni matajiri katika virutubisho vinavyojulikana kukuza ukuaji wa mimea. Ili kuzidisha athari za mbolea hii ya chakula cha mbwa, unaweza kuongeza takataka za paka za udongo na pellets za alfalfa.

Chakula cha Mbwa: Nitrojeni, fosforasi, potasiamu, na kalsiamu hutolewa kwenye udongo wakati chakula cha mbwa kinaharibika. Kuvunjika kwa chakula cha mbwa hutoa chakula kwa wadudu wanaopenda udongo na kuvu na bakteria wengine wenye manufaa.

Takataka za Paka: Udongo wenye potasiamu nyingi unaotolewa na takataka za paka ambazo ni bora kwa udongo wa kichanga ambao humwaga maji haraka sana, na huosha virutubishi vyote muhimu. Nyongeza hiyo inaboresha uwezo wa kuhifadhi unyevu wa udongo.

7 1 FERTILIZER – 7.15- MOLASSES, SEAWEED

7 1 FERTILIZER – 7.15- MOLASSES, SEAWEED

Apart from these, molasses, seaweed, alfalfa meal and plants, soybean meal, even human urine can serve as very good natural fertilizers when used for the plants which can benefit from these for better and healthier produce.

Molasses is a viscous substance that results from the refining of sugar cane or sugar beets into sugar. Molasses varies in the amount of sugar, the method of extraction, and the age of the plant. Cane molasses is mainly used to sweeten and flavor foods. Molasses is a major ingredient in fine commercial brown sugar.

Chemical fertilizers provide a “quick hit” for plants. But, with organic fertilizers you’re feeding the garden soil with a different kind of slow-release fertilizer.

Organic natural fertilizers do not always come in big 50 pound bags. Some are hiding right inside your farm.

What is slow-release fertilizer? In short, slow-release fertilizers are fertilizers that release a small, steady amount of nutrients over time. These can be natural, organic fertilizers that add nutrients to the soil by naturally breaking down and decomposing. Most often, however, when a product is referred to as a slow-release fertilizer, it is fertilizer coated with plastic resin or sulfur-based polymers that are slowly broken down by water, heat, sunlight, and/or soil microbes.

7 1 MBOLEA - 7.15- molasi, mwani

Mbali na hayo, molasi, mwani, unga wa alfafa na mimea, unga wa soya, hata mkojo wa binadamu unaweza kutumika kama mbolea nzuri ya asili inapotumiwa kwa mimea ambayo inaweza kufaidika na haya kwa mazao bora na yenye afya.

Molasi ni dutu ya viscous inayotokana na kusafishwa kwa miwa au beets za sukari kuwa sukari. Molasses inatofautiana kwa kiasi cha sukari, njia ya uchimbaji, na umri wa mmea. Molasi ya miwa hutumiwa hasa kutamu na kuonja vyakula. Molasi ni kiungo kikuu katika sukari ya kahawia ya kibiashara.

Mbolea za kemikali hutoa "hit haraka" kwa mimea. Lakini, kwa mbolea za kikaboni unalisha udongo wa bustani na aina tofauti ya mbolea ya kutolewa polepole.

Mbolea ya asili haiji kila wakati kwenye mifuko mikubwa ya pauni 50. Wengine wamejificha ndani ya shamba lako.

Mbolea ya kutolewa polepole ni nini? Kwa kifupi, mbolea ya kutolewa polepole ni mbolea ambayo hutoa kiasi kidogo cha virutubisho kwa muda. Hizi zinaweza kuwa mbolea za asili, za kikaboni ambazo huongeza rutuba kwenye udongo kwa kuvunjika kwa asili na kuharibika. Hata hivyo, mara nyingi, bidhaa inaporejelewa kama mbolea ya kutolewa polepole, ni mbolea iliyopakwa resini ya plastiki au polima zenye salfa ambazo huvunjwa polepole na maji, joto, mwanga wa jua na/au vijidudu vya udongo.

7 1 FERTILIZER – 7.16 - MAGNESIUM SULPHATE

 

The prices of fertilizer regularly. And if you don’t enrich your soil, you won’t be able to grow anything.

Most people opt for compost manure. This is rotten plant and animal waste.

But if you don’t have the time to wait for composting, then you need to try this fertilizer recipe and save yourself a great deal of money.

The key to healthy crops is healthy soil:

Plants need phosphorus, nitrogen, potassium, sulphur, calcium, and magnesium from the soil. These essential nutrients help them to thrive. The best ingredient in my recipe is Epsom salt. Epsom salt is Magnesium Sulphate. It helps seeds germinate, makes plants grow bushier, produces more flowers, increases chlorophyll production, and deters pests.

 

My favorite fertilizer recipe

Ingredients

60 ml of Epsom salts

2 cups of urine (yes, urine!), and

2 cups of wood ash

 

INSTRUCTIONS

Mix these ingredients in a 20-liter bucket.

Fill the rest of the bucket about halfway with grass clippings, pruned green leaves, or even green weeds pulled right out of the ground.

Fill the bucket to the top with water and allow the mixture to steep/rest for three days

Strain the tea or decant after steeping.

Before you use this solution, dilute by 50% by mixing half water and half tea into your favourite watering can.

Apply this wonderful mix by pouring it directly onto the soil around your plants.

 

PLEASE NOTE: Remember to only steep for three days. This will help you prevent fermentation, which you want to avoid. Fermented materials will smell bad, and their pH can change rapidly, so it’s important to stick with a three-day steeping, and then use the concentrate within a day or two.

7 1 MBOLEA – 7.16 - MAGNESIUM SULPHATE

Bei za mbolea mara kwa mara. Na ikiwa hutajirisha udongo wako, hutaweza kukua chochote.

Watu wengi huchagua mbolea ya mboji. Hii ni taka iliyooza ya mimea na wanyama.

Lakini ikiwa huna muda wa kusubiri mbolea, basi unahitaji kujaribu kichocheo hiki cha mbolea na ujiokoe pesa nyingi.

Ufunguo wa mazao yenye afya ni udongo wenye afya:

Mimea inahitaji fosforasi, nitrojeni, potasiamu, salfa, kalsiamu, na magnesiamu kutoka kwenye udongo. Virutubisho hivi muhimu huwasaidia kustawi. Kiungo bora katika mapishi yangu ni chumvi ya Epsom. Chumvi ya Epsom ni Sulphate ya Magnesiamu. Husaidia mbegu kuota, hufanya mimea kukua zaidi, hutoa maua zaidi, huongeza uzalishaji wa klorofili, na kuzuia wadudu.

Kichocheo changu cha mbolea ninachopenda

Viungo

60 ml ya chumvi ya Epsom

Vikombe 2 vya mkojo (ndio, mkojo!), na

Vikombe 2 vya majivu ya kuni

MAAGIZO

Changanya viungo hivi kwenye ndoo ya lita 20.

Jaza sehemu iliyobaki ya ndoo karibu nusu na vipande vya nyasi, majani ya kijani yaliyokatwa, au hata magugu mabichi yanayong'olewa kutoka ardhini.

Jaza ndoo juu na maji na kuruhusu mchanganyiko kusimama / kupumzika kwa siku tatu

Chuja chai au decant baada ya kuinuka.

Kabla ya kutumia suluhisho hili, punguza kwa 50% kwa kuchanganya nusu ya maji na nusu ya chai kwenye chupa yako ya kumwagilia unayopenda.

Tumia mchanganyiko huu wa ajabu kwa kuumimina moja kwa moja kwenye udongo unaozunguka mimea yako.

TAFADHALI KUMBUKA: Kumbuka kuwa mwinuko kwa siku tatu tu. Hii itakusaidia kuzuia fermentation, ambayo unataka kuepuka. Nyenzo zenye rutuba zitakuwa na harufu mbaya, na pH yao inaweza kubadilika haraka, kwa hivyo ni muhimu kushikamana na mwinuko wa siku tatu, na kisha utumie mkusanyiko ndani ya siku moja au mbili.
