Stinging Nettle - FPE - Fermented Plant Extract (almost free nutrient)

Post by GMO »

Hello again and welcome to another hippie earth lil hack

With an average NPK of 5.6-0.7-3.7. Nettles also helps with uptake of other nutrients

So all you need to do is go for a lil walk :D

Other items;
Rain water
Molasses
Microbial culture ie LAB or EM1a
A container like a jar or bucket

As I do think I'll be needing vast amounts I've just been using pasta sauce jars

Method;

Collect healthy young growth with no signs of deficiency or pests. You'll only need about 20% the volume of your planned container

Image

I then chopped the leaves to increase the surface area for the microbes to get to work

Image

I went with a tea spoon of molasses for 500ml vessel

Image

Then the same volume microbe inoculant as the molasses

Image

Then just stir till the spoon is clean and label

ImageImageImage

Leave the lid slightly loose for the first 7 days and after those 7 days give a lil stir and stand for another 7-14 days. Filter off the remaining plant material (feed this to ya worms or compost bin) and your good to store for 6-12 months

Application rates are generally 2ml per litre for soil drench but different crops will vary

Do you have a link for people to look this up @GMO as I discovered it myself looking through that Weedy Gardeners No1 vid

Isn't it the rice water and the milk fermented for a week?

I just love the stuff and really wanna use that jar for making more nutrients so I just add it to everything

Nah but really I think of it like a firing up the microbes and giving them lots of easy access foods so the colony explodes, then when they run out of sugars, boom! They get to work... or that's my thinking anyways

I could be very mistaken, I've heard that molasses can lead to microbes not bother to break down stuff as sugars are readily available. I just figure it ain't gonna last for ever so they will soon start looking for other food sources when at close to peak population

I have done a thread on LAB here also. With some help from G3. I'll try remember drop the link in original post

EM is kinda a named product, it's like 3-7 different microbes sometimes more depending where its brewed so it's kinda a bottle option if people wanted one

I have always researched the mollasses being a food source for the microbes and I think it also contains its own little colony of goodies too:

15 different fungi and microbes found in this research here.
