STINKY PLANT TEA
To make some liquid manure, or ‘plant tea’ to
boost your crops, vary amounts of Nitrates (N),
Phosphorous (P) and Potassium (K) by using what
you can grow or obtain from the following
ingredients:
Manure (N), compost (P & N), washing up liquid
or water (P), comfrey leaves (K), rinsed and dried
sea-weed (mainly K, with N & P), woodash (K),
nettles (for balance & iron) and cabbage leaves
(helps sulphur metabolism).
Wearing gloves, put these into an open-weave
bag or holey stockings and hang in a container of
water (like a large bucket) at a ratio of 10:1.
Cover
and stir every day for about three weeks in
summer and six in winter - until the liquid goes
black.
Add a cup-full to a bucket of water and apply
along root lines after normal watering for a nice
drink of wholesome, stinky tea!

pesticide will soon send them fleeing.
