Yes, garden plants nowadays appreciate a place for tea — just like me — a pick-me-up. They have no expensive Earl Gray or Darjeeling. Instead, I make free fertilizer tea from the plants, weeds, and grasses found on my property.

What is Fertilization Tea?

"Compost tea" and "compost tea" have long been important sources of organic gardening. It is not difficult to throw some compost in a bucket of water, soak it daily and soak it for a few days to a few weeks.

“Fertilizer teas” made from plants are very easy. In addition, you do not need to pick up a load of compost or use your precious compost.

Making compost tea

The next time you pick weeds in the garden, throw the chopped weeds in a bucket or trash can and mow them as you go.

When the container is half full, fill it with water. Do not use chlorinated water; Rainwater is excellent (and free!).

Stir daily for 3 days to 2 weeks. Or, pour from one bucket into another and mix the ingredients and keep them aerated.

Drain the liquid to use as compost or foliar spray. After draining the liquid, return the solids to the compost pile. It can be used at full strength on diluted or installed plants. Because plant leaves absorb more nutrients faster than roots, leaf moisture is a great way to fertilize against soil moisture.

Weeds are rich in nutrients absorbed from your soil, so it is only appropriate to extract water-soluble ones and return them to your garden plants.

Weeds and plants are cut for extra nutritious tea:

The shed is rich in nitrogen, calcium, iron, vitamins A, B, & C, phosphorus, potassium, boron, iron, zinc, selenium, and magnesium. When a natural insect repellent is sprayed on the leaves, it helps the plants resist insect and fungal attacks. Learn more about the many benefits of net annoyance.

Alfalfa is rich in nitrogen, vitamin A, folic acid, potassium, calcium, and trace minerals. If you do not have access, you can use an alfalfa straw, food, or pellets. It is a "weed" and I encourage its growth in my garden, with clover. Both produce legumes and excellent soil-enhancing mulch or nitrogen-rich tea.

Horsetail is a deeply rooted weed that attracts minerals from the soil, including potassium, silica, and iron.

Willow is full of growth hormones, which is especially good for taking young transplant surgeons for a good start.

Comfrey contains calcium, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, vitamins A, B, & C, and minerals.

Chicory is high in potassium, calcium, and vitamin A.

Dandelions can make good use of vitamins A&C and tea rich in calcium and potassium.

Aren't there any of those plants? Normal old grass works well. Fresh grass clippings are high in nitrogen and potassium. The next time you mow the lawn, collect your clippings, fill a bucket with water, and stir vertically for 3 days, daily.

Fertilizer teas are fast-acting and free. Use them every two weeks or more when stimulating your plants. They are freshly transplanted and are especially useful for flower or fruit placement. Create a plant weed and throw a garden tea party for your plants!
