please share your recipes.
To be honest not exactly my recipes, just a copy from "plant utilization society" that I translated. ("" cause I'm not sure how to translate the name of it. Usually names shouldn't be translated.) I'll post some more of these if some one finds em useful. I personally think that it's better to grow some mold resistant plants, but some times there's just shitty weather that will rot all most anything and everything.
Tansy tea
- 300g fresh or 30g dried tansy leafs
- 10 l of water
Chop the leaves a little bit and pour the boiling water on top of them. Let em sit at least 15min. and sieve.
Use as a spray to prevent mold issues and to eradicate hymenopteran.
Comfrey ferment
- 1kg Fresh comfrey leaves or 250g dried
- 5 l of water
Use 1:10 dilution to activate micro-organisms and growth. Contains plenty of potassium. Excellent for tomatoes and berry plants.
Now this may sound odd, but it has been used successfully by cucumber and strawberry farmers.
Skim milk
Dilute 1-5:10 depends how often you spray the plants. Two times a week use 1:10 dilution once a week use 20-50 % solution. Always start with a mild one.
I got an idea of making a compost pile close to my guerilla spot this summer and to study nutrient levels in different plants and then gather them in to my compost. I know. Hell of a lot of work, but I think its going to be worth it in years to follow and maybe I don't need to carry so meny of those heavy soil bags in my backpack. I also believe that in good soil lays the key for healthy growth and disease resistant. Genetics play their role of course but the rest is up to the soil and nutes. These you can affect weather you can not. So why not to give your plants the best you can when its not about the money just an effort.
