DIY Green Growth: How to Make Free Liquid Fertilizer from Grass Clippings
Melbourne Gardener Shares Simple, Free Liquid Fertilizer Recipe Melbourne, Australia – A local gardener, known as "busy chris gardening," has shared an innovative and cost-free method for creating liquid fertilizer from everyday grass clippings. The technique, detailed in a recent online video, offers a sustainable solution for nourishing plants, particularly seedlings and young growth. The process begins by collecting fresh grass clippings and placing them into a bucket without drainage holes. Water is then added to submerge the grass, and a brick is used to keep the organic material fully immersed. After a three-day soaking period, the resulting dark, nutrient-rich liquid is strained from the solids. This concentrate, abundant in nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus, is then diluted with water before being applied directly to plants. According to the gardener, this homemade fertilizer is especially beneficial for young plants due to its higher nitrogen content, which is crucial for robust stem and leaf development. The method underscores a growing interest in eco-friendly gardening practices and utilizing natural resources to reduce waste and promote healthy plant growth.
