31 Days of MOO No. 9 Weed Fertiliser

Picture
​With all the worry about fertilisers being in short supply, it just makes sense to MOO it, and it is easy, and if you have a garden, you have what you need to MOO your very own nutrient rich fertiliser.

You will need:
A bucket with a lid - and old nappy bucket is good, but something around 20 litres is ideal
Weeds - if you can find stinging nettles, they are perfect, but any weeds will make good fertiliser
Water
Shears

Find your weeds and cut them - you don't want the roots. Pack them into your bucket. Push them down and get as many as you can in. 

Fill the bucket right to the top with water and put the lid on. This is important: this is an anaerobic ferment and you don't want any air getting in. Stir the mixture every day. It will stink - it's supposed to, the weeds are rotting down. Remember to replace the lid each time. Do this for two weeks.

After two weeks, drain the liquid into another container. Compost what's left.

To use: dilute one part weed tea to 10 parts clean water.

This is wonderful for feeding seedlings and  pot plants. 

To use on established plants, mist the foliage so that the plant can absorb the nutrients.
