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.
Fermented nettle plant juice and lactic acid bacteria being made for the price of some rice and some brown sugar. #GrowYourOwn #Gardening #Allotment #ClimateAction #SolarPunk
The second phase of making the lactic acid bacteria (LAB). Adding the pure stock 1:10 to whole milk. After a few days to a week three layers will form.
A cheese layer on top, a sediment layer on the bottom and a layer of LAB in the middle. The top and bottom layers are added to the compost. The middle layer will be mixed 1:1 with unrefined brown sugar to make a shelf stable LAB for use as a multi purpose garden amendment.
