7 1 FERTILIZER – 7.5 – MORE ON COMPOST TEA

Build soil nutrients, add beneficial microbe populations and more!

Compost tea is an eco-friendly organic fertilizer solution that plays an important role in sustainable agriculture. With untreated water, a few simple tools, and time, you can turn your food and garden waste into a nutritious liquid fertilizer for plants.

As well as promoting healthy plant development, Compost Tea protects them from certain pathogens.1 Plus, Compost Tea is inexpensive and sustainable - as long as you have compost, you can make it. And when you use food or farm waste, it's essentially free fertilizer.

You don't have to be a big grower to reap the benefits of compost tea. If you have a compost heap, you can make this nourishing elixir for your own plants. It's easy and relatively hands-free.

What is compost tea?

Compost tea in its most basic form is water infused with organic compost. It is a brewed liquid that concentrates bacteria, fungi, and other organisms to create an easily absorbable, nutrient-rich liquid. Gardeners and farmers use compost tea, often referred to as black liquid gold, to fertilize their plants.

Compost tea has a number of agricultural benefits. Most importantly, it promotes plant health. Good compost tea can also improve soil health and structure and stimulate plant root growth.

You can buy pre-made compost tea from some gardening stores, but making your own is remarkably easy and inexpensive. Just follow these simple instructions.

What you need

Ingredients

• 3 to 4 gallons of non-chlorinated water

• 2 to 6 scoops of compost

instructions

1. Scoop compost into a bin

Dip your scoop into your compost pile and scoop up between 5 and 10 scoops of fully finished organic compost. Add that to your empty keg.

Compost takes between 4 and 12 weeks to be fully ready. You'll know it's done when it turns a rich, dark brown color, its texture is crumbly, and it smells earthy. If the compost smells bad, is still warm, or you can clearly see the food contents, it's probably not ready. Then leave it for 2 weeks before using it.

7 1 FERTILIZER – 7.9 – FIREPLACE ASH RECIPE

 

ORGANIC FARMING COURSE AGRO-ECONOMY

7 1 FERTILIZER – 7.9 – FIREPLACE ASH RECIPE

DIY Plant Fertilizer:

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.

Firewood ash contains high levels of lime and potassium, so it can be a good idea to use firewood ash as fertilizer in some cases. Potassium regulates plants’ water balance and helps them transport food and create sugar and starches. If plants do not get enough potassium, they are more vulnerable to drought, pests, diseases, and frosts.

A common question about composting is, "Should I put ashes in my yard?" You may be wondering if ash helps or hurts in the garden and if you use wood or charcoal ash in the garden how will it affect your garden. Read on to learn more about using wood ash in the garden. Should I put ashes in my garden? The short answer to the question of whether you should use wood ash as a fertilizer is yes. You need to be careful about how and where you use wood ash in the garden, and composting ash is a good idea.

7 1 MBOLEA - 7.9 - Mapishi ya Majivu ya Motoni

 

Mbolea ya Kupanda ya DIY:

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.

Majivu ya kuni yana kiwango kikubwa cha chokaa na potasiamu, kwa hivyo inaweza kuwa wazo nzuri kutumia majivu ya kuni kama mbolea katika hali zingine. Potasiamu hudhibiti usawa wa maji ya mimea na huwasaidia kusafirisha chakula na kuunda sukari na wanga. Ikiwa mimea haipati potasiamu ya kutosha, inaweza kuathiriwa zaidi na ukame, wadudu, magonjwa na theluji.

Swali la kawaida kuhusu kutengeneza mboji ni, "Je, niweke majivu kwenye yadi yangu?" Unaweza kujiuliza kama majivu yanasaidia au yanaumiza kwenye bustani na ukitumia kuni au mkaa kwenye bustani itaathiri vipi bustani yako. Soma ili ujifunze zaidi kuhusu kutumia majivu ya kuni kwenye bustani. Je, niweke majivu kwenye bustani yangu? Jibu fupi kwa swali la kama unapaswa kutumia majivu ya kuni kama mbolea ni ndiyo. Unahitaji kuwa mwangalifu kuhusu jinsi na wapi unatumia majivu ya kuni kwenye bustani, na kutengeneza majivu ni wazo nzuri.

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.
