Nettle FPJ (fermented plant juice) - Almost free grow nute

Post by GMO »

Nettles (Stinging European)

approx. N-P-K
5.6-0.7-3.7

as well as:

Iron
Copper
Zinc
Magnesium
Calcium

Create a nettle FPJ by filling a bucket with the leaves and stems and bruising the foliage. Cover with water and weigh down the nettles with a brick, paving stone. Only fill three-quarters of the bucket with water to allow room for the foam that will be created during the fermenting process.

Leave the bucket in a semi-sunny area, away from the house if smells is an issue. Leave the mix for one to three weeks to ferment, stirring every couple of days until it stops bubbling.

Finally, strain out the nettles and dilute the concoction at one part fertilizer to 10 parts water for watering plants or 1:20 for direct foliar application. Undiluted mix makes an excellent organic herbicide and can be added to the compost bin to stimulate decomposition.
