You can make your own all-purpose, organic plant fertilizer at home—with just weeds and water. Does it sound strange to make plant fertilizer by using other plants? That’s how nature works! Here’s my simple recipe for DIY organic fertilizer—without using chemicals or animal waste—right from your garden!
Forget chemical concoctions! An abundant source of nutritious plant food is already available, for free, in your garden. Common garden plants and even unwanted weeds hold vitamins and nutrients in their leaves that, when decomposed, can be a quick source of macro- and micronutrients to feed your garden.
The simplest method is to brew herbs and weeds—much as you would a morning tea. My favorite herbs to try are:
- Comfrey – High in magnesium, phosphorous, and potassium.
- Stinging Nettle – Contains magnesium, sulfur, and iron.
- Borage and chickweed are also abundant and nutritious. They’re slightly less nutrient-dense, but even dried kitchen herbs such as chamomile, oregano, sage, and dill that have become old and unpalatable can be used up in this way, too.
Experience
You will harvest plants from the gardens and create your own fertilizer. Just add water and wait. You will also make worm tea from the studio worm farm.
Wear
Clothes and shoes that are comfortable outside.
