Why waste money on commercial, fossil fuel derived fertilisers when you can make your own? Very cheaply too.

Give the garden centre aisles of horrific horticultural chemicals a miss and do your plants, our insects, wildlife and the planet a favour instead.

Day 3 making nettle FPJ. There’s enough liquid to keep the nettle material submerged without a weight on top. The weighted jars have been removed and 2 jars’ contents have been combined together.

In a couple of days I’ll slowly drip sieve the liquid through the nettle material.

I will then have a jar of nettle FPJ.

I’ll add apple cider vinegar to the left over nettle material to make a jar of nettle FPJ vinegar. #GrowYourOwn #Gardening #Allotment #ClimateAction #SolarPunk
