My comments :
Here is a method to make top quality, home made organic fertiliser that is perfectly suitable for whatever plant that you may grow in your garden (or balcony).
To make a top quality organic fertiliser, custom made for your papaya /banana /tomato /mango /ciku /rambutan /roses /orchids /flowering plants and trees do the following.
1. Get a nice sized jar (1 to 3 litres is ok), plastic or glass jar, must have a tight lid.
2. Pluck or trim healthy green leaves, green shoots of whatever plant you are targetting. Green leaves and green shoots from one type of plant only per jar. For example to make fertiliser for your papaya plants, use only papaya leaves (from any papaya plant).
3. Stuff the jar to the max with the green papaya leaves. You can lightly tumbuk the green leaves or crush them in your hands first. Then fill the jar with water to the max. Close the lid tightly on the jar and store in a shaded spot or indoors for about THREE MONTHS.
As the days pass the nutrients from the leaves and shoots will dissolve into the jar of water. The water will turn greenish, brownish, blackish etc (depending on the colour of the leaves). The water is actually becoming a highly concentrated liquid fertiliser. When you open the jar it will stink to the sky. There may be tiny, tiny ants that come for the sugar (they always squeeze their way in).
After three months you can separate the liquid fertiliser from the soaked leaves and shoots and pour into a bottle or container. This is a very potent and concentrated liquid fertiliser.
HOW TO APPLY : Dilute the concentrated liquid fertiliser 1 cup fertiliser : 10 cups water. Then put in a spray bottle and SPRAY on the leaves of the papaya plant. Spray once every two weeks. Dont spray too much. You can try spraying once a week but watch the plant carefully so that you dont overdose the liquid fertiliser.
The 1:10 ratio is by trial and error. If the liquid fertiliser is too strong it can kill your plant. (The leaves will turn yellow). In that case change the ratio, maybe 1:12 or more dilute mix.
If you dont have time you can soak for just ONE MONTH but the concentration may become not as effective. All this is by trial and error.
You can take the soaked leaves and shoots and bury them as compost or fertiliser.
This is a custom made fertiliser made from exactly the same type of plant and to be used for the same type of plant. It will certainly have all the nutrients exactly needed for that particular plant.
You can use liquid fertiliser made from papaya leaves (for example) to spray other plants as well. They will still work. Plants are plants.
100% organic, 100% home made. And super easy to make.
